Friend.tech，與 BitClout 類似，曾經是 Coinbase 以太坊第 2 層上最受歡迎的應用程序，現在已刪除了更改智能合約代碼的功能

迄今為止，其代幣的市值已下降 96%，從 2.35 億美元跌至不到 1,000 萬美元。其協議的鎖定總價值也下降了類似的 93%。

Friend.tech, the most popular application on Coinbase’s layer 2 of Ethereum, has removed the ability to change the smart contract code.

Friend.tech 是 Coinbase 以太坊第 2 層上最受歡迎的應用程序，它取消了更改智慧合約代碼的功能。

Administrators transferred permission to edit its smart contract to Ethereum’s ‘burner’ null address this week, prompting critics to declare its network ‘effectively dead.’

本週，管理員將編輯其智能合約的權限轉移到以太坊的「burner」空地址，促使批評者宣布其網路「實際上已經死亡」。

The market capitalization of its token has declined 96% to less than $10 million and its protocol’s total value locked has declined 93%.

其代幣的市值已下降 96% 至不到 1,000 萬美元，其協議的鎖定總價值已下降 93%。

After processing tens of thousands of daily transactions during its launch in August and September 2023, use of Friend.tech on Coinbase’s Base dwindled to nearly zero by November.

Friend.tech 在 2023 年 8 月和 2023 年 9 月推出期間每天處理數萬筆交易，到 11 月，Coinbase Base 上的 Friend.tech 使用量幾乎為零。

Since then, users have continued to neglect the network, with August 2024 transactions totaling barely a few hundred per day.

從那時起，用戶繼續忽視該網絡，截至 2024 年 8 月，每天的交易總數僅為幾百筆。

In 2023, Ethereum layer 2s like Arbitrum and Optimism were one of the hottest new things in crypto.

2023 年，Arbitrum 和 Optimism 等以太坊第 2 層是加密領域最熱門的新事物之一。

That year, Arbitrum was airdropping its highly-anticipated ARB token, and Optimism was launching its OP Mainnet.

那一年，Arbitrum 空投了備受期待的 ARB 代幣，而 Optimism 則推出了 OP 主網。

Google queries for Arbitrum hit an all-time high in 2023 with over five times more queries than Google has received for that word at any other time.

2023 年，Google對 Arbitrum 的查詢量創下歷史新高，其查詢量是谷歌在任何其他時間收到的對該詞的查詢量的五倍多。

Friend.tech: The flagship app on Base

Friend.tech：Base 上的旗艦應用

In the midst of this frenzy, Coinbase launched its own Ethereum layer 2, Base.

在這股狂熱之中，Coinbase 推出了自己的以太坊第 2 層 Base。

Differentiated by its lack of a proprietary token, Coinbase advertised Base as a way to save time and fees for a cornucopia of use cases.

由於缺乏專有代幣，Coinbase 將 Base 宣傳為一種為大量用例節省時間和費用的方式。

In reality, a single application quickly gained traction and dwarfed all other activity on Base: Friend.tech, a copycat of BitClout.

事實上，單一應用程式很快就獲得了關注，並使 Base 上的所有其他活動相形見絀：Friend.tech（BitClout 的模仿者）。

Just like BitClout, Friend.tech allowed users to buy tokens associated with Twitter influencers in order to speculate on their popularity.

就像 BitClout 一樣，Friend.tech 允許用戶購買與 Twitter 影響者相關的代幣，以推測他們的受歡迎程度。

The DOJ and SEC eventually filed criminal and civil charges, respectively, against the founder of BitClout.

美國司法部和美國證券交易委員會最終分別對 BitClout 創始人提起刑事和民事指控。

Before law enforcement even published those charges, the market capitalization of BitClout had declined over 90%.

在執法部門公佈這些指控之前，BitClout 的市值已經下降了 90% 以上。

It halved again after the charges – and has never recovered.

指控後，它再次減半——並且從未恢復。

So far, no charges are filed against the founders of Friend.tech.

到目前為止，尚未對 Friend.tech 的創始人提出任何指控。

If you make $40m on a product with a skeleton crew, you’ve got a moral obligation to at least try and deliver on that product.FriendTech made bank, and then basically never even tried to ship another upgrade.That’s pathetic.Funders probably got their 1x liquidation… https://t.co/xjLvuS2hqe

如果你在一個只有骨幹人員的產品上賺了4000 萬美元，那麼你就有道德義務至少嘗試並交付該產品。 。

The protocol has generated approximately $40 million in fees since inception.

該協議自成立以來已產生約 4000 萬美元的費用。

There is no full accounting from Friend.tech nor its founder Racer regarding those funds.

Friend.tech 及其創辦人 Racer 都沒有對這些資金進行完整的會計。

Friend.tech denies claims that it is discontinuing its service or web application.

Friend.tech 否認其將停止其服務或網路應用程式的說法。

It is simply guaranteeing that no one may change its smart contract on Base.

它只是保證沒有人可以更改其在 Base 上的智能合約。
