FriendTech's version 2 launch, following 8 months of development and over $50 million in accrued fees, faced significant issues, leading to widespread user backlash. The launch, which occurred overnight without prior announcement, involved an airdrop of $FRIEND tokens. However, only 10% of these tokens were initially claimable, with the remaining 90% contingent upon joining the 'Money Club' and following 10 people. Additionally, the application was largely unusable due to crashes and performance lags. As a result, the price of $FRIEND plummeted, and many users expressed their frustration over the botched rollout.
