Friendtech

“Can a crypto-native social platform built entirely on-chain smart contracts create a sustainable tokenized attention economy without any traditional financial intermediaries?”

The story

Friend.tech launched in 2023 as a decentralized social marketplace on Coinbase's Base L2 network, allowing users to purchase tokenized 'Keys' to access creators' private chat rooms. The protocol expanded to include Clubs (group tokenized access) and then pivoted further into DeFi in 2024 with the $FRIEND token, an in-house DEX (BunnySwap), and a liquidity pool product — effectively blurring the line between social token platform and DeFi protocol. All financial activity is settled on-chain via smart contracts, with no traditional embedded finance stack.
