While the team has yet to share what the final score will be used for, only mentioning August 15, it “will have a special purpose when the app moves into official release”.

Therefore, this network statement quickly received negative feedback from the community. They believe that “threatening” users is an unfair competition action of the platform. Many comments are also sarcastic that the application does not copy previous applications.

While friend.tech did not mention any particular competitors, several X users in the response pointed to an app called Shares. This new app is scheduled to launch in public beta on August 31.

According to DefiLlama, daily fees peaked at $1.7 million on August 21, but dropped more than 90% to around $161,000 on August 27. The app’s daily revenue is down more than 95%, from peaked at $840,000 on August 21 to just $80,500 on August 27.
