- Elon Musk has failed to deliver on his promise to publish updates to the X algorithm, causing discontent among cryptocurrency users.
- The crypto community says the share of crypto content in the feed is shrinking.
Platform X (former Twitter) опубликовала An update to the recommendation algorithm was released, but it was met with significant skepticism from the crypto community. Instead of the promised complete transparency, users discovered serious gaps in the published code that directly impact the visibility of crypto content.
X is losing the very core community structure that once made the platform useful for crypto, said Market analyst Ethan.
Co-founder Ethereum Vitalik Buterin Even before the release, he expressed doubts that X would be able to provide enough detail for a real public audit.
In early 2026, Elon Musk promised to publish the X algorithm code monthly with detailed explanations. The first version of the code appeared in January, but the repository has not received any updates since. The published version contains significant omissions: weights for key predicted actions in the ranking formula are missing, the public code differs from the actual production version, particularly in the Phoenix module, and there are no regular explanations from the developers.
As a result, many accounts are reporting a noticeable decline in reach. High-quality crypto content is increasingly appearing in users’ feeds, giving way to political topics, provocative posts, and content created specifically to boost engagement. This creates real risks for the industry, as it makes it easier to launch coordinated attacks on reputable accounts through reports and mass bans.
The crypto community continues to demand that X fulfill its initial promises: regular code updates and detailed explanations for ranking changes. Meanwhile, the algorithm remains “partially open,” raising questions about the platform’s true transparency.
