According to CryptoPotato, the creators of Friend Tech aggregator have lost access to all chatrooms on the platform. Yield Bouncer, the creator of FriendBook, expressed disappointment in a tweet, revealing a disagreement with the Friend Tech team regarding the vision for FriendBook's development. To protect his interests and regain access to his account, @saliencexbt (Sal), a FriendBook partner, decided to cut ties with the project. However, Yield Bouncer expressed hope that Sal would soon have his chats reinstated.
Sal provided an update on the situation surrounding the Friend Tech account, explaining that the service played a crucial role within the community and the sudden discontinuation had a domino effect on other platforms that relied on their Discord channels for content. Sal had earlier collaborated with Yield Bouncer to bridge their differing visions despite the misalignment of their goals. The proposal introduced a delay in message delivery, offering a balance between Sal's concerns and Yield Bouncer's vision. However, the next day, Sal was barred from using the chat feature on the platform.
Yield Bounce has invited Racer and the Friend Tech team to engage in a discussion about the policies surrounding Friend Tech aggregation and indexing, with the aim of finding a collaborative solution that fosters growth in the space. FriendBook is actively seeking alternative data sources to share content with the community and is open to collaboration with like-minded aggregators who share their vision. Meanwhile, Friend Tech has experienced a significant surge in daily transactions, surpassing 1.8 million, and a surge in new users, with its trade volume peaking at nearly $18.5 million. Analysts have noted that this surge in activity did not lead to congestion on the Ethereum network or an increase in transaction fees, suggesting that efforts to expand the blockchain by supporting supplementary layer-2 networks like Base are proving effective.
