Friend.tech 否认关停传闻，澄清放弃智能合约

Web3 社交应用 Friend.tech 否认了关闭其应用的传言，澄清了之前宣布的放弃对其智能合约的控制权。

Web3 social app Friend.tech has denied rumors of shutting down its app, following an earlier announcement that it was renouncing control of its smart contracts.

Web3 社交应用程序 Friend.tech 否认了有关关闭其应用程序的传言，此前该公司曾宣布放弃对其智能合约的控制权。

In a post on September 10, the friend.tech team clarified that the friend.tech web app will continue functioning as usual. The changes will only ensure that there are no further changes to the platform.

在 9 月 10 日的帖子中，friend.tech 团队澄清，friend.tech 网络应用程序将继续照常运行。这些更改只会确保平台不会发生进一步的更改。

According to the team, it does not plan to discontinue or close the web app as its action will only guarantee that the protocol’s fees on Base will not be raised.

据该团队称，它不打算停止或关闭该网络应用程序，因为其行动只会保证 Base 上的协议费用不会提高。

“These actions do not affect the current functionality of the friend.tech web app in any way. Everything you know and use remains the same,” it said.

“这些操作不会以任何方式影响friend.tech网络应用程序的当前功能。你所知道和使用的一切都保持不变，”它说。

Friend.tech team renounced control of the smart contracts on September 8, transferring control irreversibly to a null address. The decision came after several months of declining activity for the platform.

Friend.tech 团队于 9 月 8 日放弃了对智能合约的控制权，将控制权不可逆地转移到空地址。该决定是在该平台的活动连续几个月下降后做出的。

FRIEND down 97% from peak despite recent gains

尽管近期有所上涨，FRIEND 仍较峰值下跌 97%

Following the team’s latest announcement, the platform’s native token FRIEND saw a rise in value, gaining almost 25% in the last 24 hours to reach $0.0872, according to CoinGecko.

根据 CoinGecko 的数据，在该团队发布最新公告后，该平台的原生代币 FRIEND 的价值出现上涨，在过去 24 小时内上涨了近 25%，达到 0.0872 美元。

Despite the gains representing a 51% jump from its lowest price on Friday, FRIEND’s value remains 97% down from its peak of $3.26 in May 2024.

尽管涨幅较上周五的最低价上涨了 51%，但 FRIEND 的价值仍较 2024 年 5 月的峰值 3.26 美元下跌了 97%。

The token has been gradually falling for some time, making its recent plunge unsurprising given how it has struggled to record transaction volume or attract new users. Not even an airdrop or the launch of a new app was enough to stem its eventual decline, with daily fees declining to less than $100.

一段时间以来，该代币一直在逐渐下跌，考虑到它在记录交易量或吸引新用户方面的努力，其最近的暴跌并不令人意外。即使是空投或新应用程序的推出也不足以阻止其最终的下滑，每日费用降至不到 100 美元。

With FRIEND now trading near its all-time low and the team abandoning the project, several investors, including venture capital firms like Paradigm and Notation Capital, are left with losses they will have to write off.

由于 FRIEND 目前的交易价格接近历史低点，且团队放弃了该项目，包括 Paradigm 和 Notation Capital 等风险投资公司在内的几位投资者都面临着必须冲销的损失。

According to Lookonchain, popular crypto trader Machi Big Brother lost over $16 million on the project as the 11.1 million FRIEND tokens he bought for around 5,200 ETH ($16.7 million) is now worth about $0.7 million.

据 Lookonchain 称，受欢迎的加密货币交易商 Machi Big Brother 在该项目上损失了超过 1600 万美元，因为他花费约 5,200 ETH（1670 万美元）购买的 1110 万个 FRIEND 代币现在价值约 70 万美元。

Friend.tech developers leave as millionaires

Friend.tech 开发商成为百万富翁

On the other hand, the team’s actions as Friend.tech creators did not affect them as they made millions from the protocol before bailing on it. According to data from Dune Analytics, the project generated $81.2 million in fees since its launch, making it a profitable venture for those who were involved.

另一方面，该团队作为 Friend.tech 创建者的行为并没有影响他们，因为他们在放弃该协议之前从该协议中赚了数百万美元。根据 Dune Analytics 的数据，该项目自启动以来产生了 8120 万美元的费用，对于参与者来说是一项有利可图的投资。

With the team getting 50% of the fees, the developers likely made over $40 million within a year.

由于团队获得了 50% 的费用，开发人员可能在一年内赚取了超过 4000 万美元。

This has led many to consider the actions of Friend.tech creators as a rugpull, noting that by renouncing their control of the smart contracts, they effectively abandoned the project and left their investors and users with losses.

这导致许多人认为 Friend.tech 创建者的行为是一种拉力，并指出，通过放弃对智能合约的控制，他们实际上放弃了该项目，并给投资者和用户带来了损失。

However, some believe a new team can fork Friend.tech and continue its developments, similar to how the DeFi project Solidly became Aerodrome.

然而，一些人认为，一个新团队可以分叉 Friend.tech 并继续其发展，类似于 DeFi 项目 Solidly 变成 Aerodrome 的方式。

Still, many consider the likelihood of this to be low, noting that the best thing for users would have been for the Friend.tech team to sell to someone else who is interested in developing the protocol.

尽管如此，许多人认为这种可能性很低，并指出对用户来说最好的事情是 Friend.tech 团队将其出售给对开发该协议感兴趣的其他人。

One user noted that by removing the protocol’s ability to generate revenue, the team has made it impossible for someone else to improve it, as there is no incentive for doing so.

一位用户指出，通过消除该协议创收的能力，该团队使其他人无法对其进行改进，因为没有这样做的动力。
