The sharp price decline and sudden changes have left investors worried about the long-term viability of the project. While the web client remains operational, the team’s decision to relinquish control of the smart contracts suggests a potentially uncertain future for Friend.tech and its investors.
With no clear recovery in sight for the $FRIEND token, many are left speculating on the next steps for what was once a promising SocialFi platform. For now, the market will be watching closely to see whether Friend.tech can stabilize or if this marks the beginning of the end for the project.
