- Social marketplace Friendzone has started operating on the Polygon PoS blockchain and plans to expand to Polygon zkEVM later.
- CEO and co-founder Kevin Lu described Friendzone as a new social platform with two main parts:
a user-friendly surface part for managing social connections and activities, and a deeper part called LayerSocial for developers.
- Registered users increased by over 600% from December to January, with 10,000 completed user quests or activities in January alone.
- The pre-launch progressive web app was initially open only to Friendzone's network of partners, investors, and in-person event attendees for early sign-ups.
- Friendzone was not based on any blockchain before the launch, and the pre-launch app is off-chain.
- Friendzone was built by early team members from Band Protocol, Synthetix, and Koinly.
