Recently, the hottest topic in the circle is the decentralized social platform friend.tech, which is still on the rise. On-chain analyst Spot on Chain stated that the project generated 2953 ETH (approximately $5 million) in transaction fee income in just 11 days. Currently, the total value of user shares has reached 4435 ETH (approximately $7.4 million). However, friend.tech has also exposed some issues, such as data leakage through API and users being able to buy and sell shares from the contract without an invitation code.
Currently, the craze for friend.tech continues, with various KOLs either praising or criticizing it, making it quite lively. Odaily Star Daily once detailed its positioning, gameplay, and pricing rules in an article titled "How is personal stock priced on Friend.tech?". Today, let's set aside the controversy and focus on the top ten most "valuable" figures on friend.tech, and highlight four of them for detailed introductions.
#1. Racer: Founder of friend.tech
Racer is currently the most "valuable" user on friend.tech, with 151 holders and a share price of 3.1 ETH.
Although not entirely accurate, for the sake of clarity, we can compare this "floor price" level to Azuki (3.5 ETH) NFTs.
In a tweet announcing Paradigm's investment, Paradigm publicly revealed the two founders of friend.tech, which quickly boosted their net worth.
Unfortunately, Racer has currently set his Twitter account to private, and unauthorized followers cannot view his tweets.
Recently, crypto KOL nix discovered that Racer had issued a counterfeit NFT, and the project has already "soft-rugged." Perhaps we can catch a glimpse of friend.tech's past from this information.
In late 2022, the NFT project Kosetto was born. This is a sticker-based product (similar to "emoji packs"), allowing users to copy their NFT stickers to the clipboard and use these images elsewhere.
On January 29, 2023, Kosetto officially launched on the Chrome Web Store, allowing users to use the sticker function on the plugin. Unfortunately, the product did not gain popularity, with only 3 downloads and the last version update stalled on January 31.
The official Kosetto Twitter account's last update was at the end of January, with approximately 3700 followers.
#6. iam4x: Friend ecosystem developer
iam4x is the founder of tuleep.trade, an open-source trading application that allows users to access and use the product through the trading platform API.
In the description of tuleep.trade, it defines itself as a "news trading application." Unlike other trading platforms, this product integrates real-time news messages into the trading UI. The latest news on the user's trading targets will be presented in the trading panel, allowing users to react to market information more quickly and timely.
Of course, this product alone is not enough to generate great enthusiasm for its shares. In addition to tuleep.trade, iam4x also developed realfriend.tech.
This is a trading bot for friend.tech, allowing users to automate trading on the platform.
In the product description, iam4x also honestly states that the bot he uses is different from the product and is a faster bot in comparison.
Currently, iam4x's shares have generated a trading volume of 170 ETH, and he has earned 8.5 ETH in transaction fee income.
#9. FaZe Banks: Silent but earns 44 ETH
FaZe Banks was once a famous YouTuber with 5.04 million subscribers on YouTube, but has not posted a video for 4 years.
His other well-known identity is the founder of the FaZe Clan esports team. FaZe Banks, whose real name is Richard Bengtson, founded the FaZe Clan esports team in Los Angeles in 2010. The FaZe Clan is involved in a wide range of games, including Call of Duty, CS:GO, PUBG, Rainbow Six, and Fortnite, among others.
In 2021, FaZe Banks began to venture into the Web3 space and engaged in numerous NFT transactions.
Although FaZe Banks is already one of the most valuable figures on friend.tech, it is interesting to note that it is difficult to call him a "Twitter KOL," as his latest tweet was posted over 4 months ago.
Despite his lack of activity on Twitter, for reasons unknown, Banks activated his friend.tech account and became one of the most valuable figures on Friend.tech without making a sound, relying on his accumulated popularity over the years.
Currently, Banks's personal share trading volume has reached 880 ETH, and he has earned 44 ETH in transaction fees.
#10. Friend Index
Friend Index is an unofficial index product initiated by Octoshi.eth. This account has the fewest followers among the top ten "valuable" figures, with less than a thousand.
As the name suggests, this account is more of a personal share ETF product than a social account. Friend Index will purchase "top figures" selected by Octoshi. His initial capital is 4 ETH, and all subsequent earnings from Friend Index are used as capital investment.
Octoshi.eth's personal Twitter account has just over a thousand followers. However, his wallet address is quite wealthy, currently holding over 2.4 million assets.
Octoshi stated that the product will change with market fluctuations, and in the future, Friend Index will sell personal shares that are no longer Alpha and buy more Alpha.
It is important to note that despite being called an "index," this product is not a passive investment but is actively managed by Octoshi. He also mentioned that in the future, a mechanism for Friend Index holders to vote on investment decisions may be introduced.
#12. Christian2022.mid
Christian is a highly popular post-00s whale in the crypto world, co-founder of the crypto fund NDV (NextGenDigital Venture), and a super NFT holder. He gained attention for taking over hundreds of series NFTs overnight after Azuki experienced a decline.
NFTGO data shows that Christian's assets in a single wallet exceed $1.5 million. In the whale comprehensive ranking of this product, the wallet address also ranks 151st.
At the end of June this year, after the collapse of Azuki's new project, he proposed to acquire the project for $40 million from Azuki founder ZAGABOND. Christian also received support from the NFT community and was selected as one of the multi-signatory managers in the decentralized project AzukiDAO's lawsuit against Azuki founder Zagabond.
