Prashant Jha14 hours agoFriend.tech revenue surges over 10,000 ETH, TVL tops 30,000 ETHThe decentralized social media platform has continued to thrive since it launched in the second week of August and has hit multiple new highs despite critics predicting its downfall.6271 Total views20 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksDecentralized social media platform Friend.tech, based on Coinbase’s layer-2 protocol, Base, has touched new heights in terms of revenue growth and total value locked on its platform.


According to data from Dune Analytics, Friend.tech’s revenue has surged to 10,663 Ether (ETH), and its total value locked (TVL) grew to over 30,000 ETH on Oct. 2. The recent boom in its revenue and trading activity comes amid a decline in hype from its early days of launch.


As a decentralized social network platform launched in August 2023, Friend.tech enables users to swap “keys” associated with X accounts (formerly Twitter) belonging to their friends or influencers. These keys give users access to private in-app chatrooms and content only available to the corresponding X user. Users can buy shares of their friends and influencers on the platform.


While the concept of a decentralized social network platform with a revenue-sharing model was lauded by many in the Web3 space, the platform has also grabbed the attention of critics.Let me tell you one thing.

Something isn’t right about @friendtech.

Creators making money from a group chat that doesn’t even work when you can’t even reply directly to people?

The way pricing works is ridiculous and can be easily taken advantage of.

The decentralized social media platform has been declared “dead” on numerous occasions since its launch a couple of months ago. One crypto commentator questioned its revenue model and gave the platform six to eight weeks before the charm fizzles out. Critics pointed out that the rate at which the share prices increased in the first couple of weeks makes it unsustainable in the long run.

However, despite the criticism, the Friend.tech platform has continued to see new record surges in revenue and user growth.


The latest boom in its revenue comes amid communicative transactions on the platform surging to 9,200,882. The current trading metrics have marked a dip from the highs seen in the first week of September; however, the steady growth in revenue and TVL suggests the platform is still garnering traction from users.
