SocialFi reimagines social media with decentralized structures, promising users greater control over their data, privacy and monetization opportunities.

Friend.tech linked its decentralized social media platform to X, catching a hype wave from August 2023 into 2024. But its token’s price crashed in May and was effectively pronounced dead in August.

Base set for ‘material share’ of SocialFi activity: Franklin Templeton

May 9, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Asset Management

Base is already home to 46% of transactions related to SocialFi on-chain, but the asset manager says it has even more room to grow.

Trillion-dollar asset manager Franklin Templeton suggests “Base Season” has arrived with the rise of Social Finance (SocialFi) apps, with Base leading other Ethereum layer 2s in the vertical.

“[It is] positioning itself well to capture a material share of SocialFi activity and remain a leader in the Ethereum L2 sector going forward,” Franklin Templeton said in a May report.

About 46% of transactions related to SocialFi are on Base, which has increasingly stripped market share away from the BNB Chain and Polygon in recent months, according to one of the charts provided by Franklin Templeton.

Crypto degens ‘hungry’ for next big SocialFi breakthrough — K33 Research

May 9, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Crypto users are increasingly turning attention to new SocialFi apps, but analysts say it’s probably too early to say whether “SocialFi season” has arrived.

Crypto users are clamoring to find the next big thing in the Social Finance (SocialFi) sector, according to analysts from K33 Research — who see it a growing corner of crypto despite being plagued by “perverse incentives.”

In a May 8 research report, K33 DeFi analyst David Zimmerman wrote that following a recent Firend.tech airdrop, crypto users are already looking to a new SocialFi app called Fantasy Top – built on Ethereum layer-2 network Blast — as the next potential opportunity.

Fantasy Top is a SocialFi game allowing users to buy and sell virtual trading cards of crypto-affiliated X accounts and use them to compete in tournaments. These tournaments are paying users for their activity on the platform in ETH, a reward token on Blast called GOLD, native “fan points” and additional packs of trading cards.
