The hype associated with friend.tech has gradually risen back. This particular decentralized social media [DeSo] app built on Coinbase’s L2 solution allows users to buy ‘shares’ of their friends and influencers. This, in turn, enables access to a private chat with that user. Within a few weeks after its launch, the app was pronounced dead by community members. However, friend.tech has managed to defy the odds and bounce back with increased user activity on its platform.
The total value locked on its platform was stagnant in the $5 million to $6 million range towards the end of August. However, it has noted a sharp rise and it is currently hovering at an all-time high of around $20 million.
