Friend.tech launched as a promising SocialFi experiment allowing users to trade keys to private chat rooms tied to X accounts, generating $1M in fees daily at peak. The project rapidly collapsed due to poor execution, privacy leaks exposing over 100k wallet addresses, bot exploitation, and leadership abandonment—the team extracted $44M in fees while the platform froze. Critics describe it as a fee extraction and ponzi-like scheme that prioritized influencer dumping and short-term speculation over sustainable community value, leaving users disappointed after initial hype faded to a ghost town.

“cash grab”typical exam of cash grabbers and scammers

“Easiest way to dump on your followers.”FT proved to be one of the worst app. The entire mechanism of buying multiple keys to raise the floor made the app impossible to use without loosing money on it.

“Decent idea, but trash execution.”

“Gave up as soon as they started racking in”It was a great idea and vision but sadly Racer gave up on it as soon as $$$ started flowing in

“They had idea and failed miserably”They had idea and failed miserably. They had generated hype and had CT talking about them but lack of judgement, updates and probably greed run them down. Such a shame, what could have been we will never know.

“:( good idea, bad implement”You created a great project, no doubt—but the lack of transparency and the Ponzi-like actions were truly disappointing. I’ve read that many people lost a lot of money trusting you. I genuinely hope that one day you rise again to the greatness the community once gave you.

“Friend.tech Let Me Down: A Frustrating Crypto Social Nightmare”Ugh, where do I even start with Friend.tech? I was so hyped when I first heard about this Web3 social platform—buying and selling “keys” to connect with influencers sounded like a cool, futuristic way to blend crypto and social media. But honestly, my experience with it has been a total letdown, and I’m not alone in feeling this way. First off, the whole setup feels like a playground for bots and big players, not regular users like me. I jumped in thinking I could have fun trading keys and maybe chat with some cool creators, but it’s clear the system is rigged. Bots swoop in the second a big account joins, snagging shares at dirt-cheap prices before I even have a chance. By the time I could buy in, the prices were jacked up, and I was basically just handing my money over to those early bots or influencers cashing out. It’s frustrating to feel like I’m always the one getting played while others are raking in profits.Then there’s the security—or lack thereof. I signed up using my phone number because, well, that’s what the app pushed me to do. But finding out I’m locked into SMS login forever with no option for two-factor authentication? That’s sketchy as hell. I’m sitting here with real money tied up in this app, and it feels less secure than my old hot wallet. People have been calling it a security nightmare, and I totally get why. It’s like they didn’t even think about protecting users like me who just wanted to try something new.The app itself is clunky and bare-bones. The user interface is a mess, and there’s barely any functionality beyond basic text chats. I was expecting some innovative social features, but it’s like they launched half a product and called it a day. No voting, no raffles, nothing to make the “social” part actually engaging. And don’t get me started on the fees—10% on every transaction is steep, and it feels like the platform is just milking users without delivering real value. What really stings is how the Friend.tech team seems to have checked out. I’ve seen posts on X from people saying the developers made bank—millions in fees—and then basically ghosted everyone. They dropped a Version 2 and an airdrop that was supposed to “save” the project, but it flopped hard. Activity tanked, fees plummeted to almost nothing, and then they just handed over control of the smart contracts to a null address, locking everything in place with no updates or new features. It’s like they took the money and ran, leaving users like me holding a bag of worthless FRIEND tokens that crashed 98% since launch. I wanted to believe in Friend.tech’s vision of merging social media with crypto, but it feels like a missed opportunity at best and a cash grab at worst. The lack of transparency, the bot-dominated trading, the security risks, and the team’s apparent abandonment have left a sour taste in my mouth. I’m out, and I’d warn anyone else to think twice before diving into this one

“Wasn’t for me”The thought of buying and selling people’s profiles seemed like way too much of a red flag to be a good idea. Maybe if I got into it right away and understood it more, it would have made more sense.

“Score too low, didn’t bother to check them out people must be really pissed off at them for their score to be that low”Might also be a new account didn’t check

“It felt special, then it didn’t”Friend.tech felt fresh at first. Real connections, fun energy. But the team disappeared and it all faded. Still, I met some great people. That part was real.

“Badly structured, fun idea, though.”Impersonators, bots, etc, ruined my experience
