About FRIEND token

Friend. tech is a decentralized social app built on Base that allows creators to connect to their audience through tokenized attention, where a creator’s influence is represented by keys that can be traded for access to exclusive private chatrooms and other perks.

Friend. tech is a decentralized social network. Users can buy and sell “keys”—previously known as “shares”—that are linked to Twitter (now X) accounts. These keys offer access to private in-app chatrooms and exclusive content from that X user. The platform markets itself as “the marketplace for your friends

Each user on the app has a chat group akin to ones found on platforms like Telegram. The catch is that users must purchase keys to enter other users’ private chats. They can later choose to sell those keys if they decide to leave the chat.

In this way, Friend. tech can be seen as a social media platform—or, perhaps more specifically, a sort of offshoot of X. Popular Twitter users have previously found success (and sometimes legal trouble) by using the platform to sell tokens that they launched or which they’ve been paid to promote. Sometimes these users would incentivize the sale of these tokens by linking them to exclusive content.

Friend.tech takes this pre-existing aspect of Twitter and fleshes it out with a set of standardized crypto platform features, including airdropped rewards, fee sharing, and more. Like many other recent social media platforms, it requires that users have an invite code to join. This has helped to contribute to a highly competitive landscape in which eager would-be adopters search for codes, helping to promote the platform in the process. Users looking to get onto Friend.tech should access the site of the same name from a phone browser, which will allow them to add the app to their phone. Each member of the platform currently is provided with three invite codes to give out. Once in the app, a new user links their Google and X accounts and bridges ether from Arbitrum to the base wallet address. At this point, they are ready to begin buying and selling keys and participating in private chats.
