The newly launched social network platform, Friend.Tech, operating on Coinbase Global Inc's COIN Base blockchain, has witnessed a surge in daily active users, reaching an impressive 136,000.
After a subdued debut on Wednesday, which garnered only $10 million in new inflows on its inaugural day, Base has now surpassed the Optimism OP/USD blockchain, in daily user count, as per data from Dune Analytics, Coindesk reported.
It's inching closer to Arbitrum's ARB/USD user tally, which stands at 147,000, as revealed by tokenterminal statistics.
Since its launch, Base has seen a transfer of cryptocurrencies amounting to $175 million, with a significant 580,000 transactions recorded just on Thursday.
Friend.Tech is credited as a key driver of this activity. This innovative platform offers users the opportunity to buy or sell shares associated with prominent Twitter personalities.
Currently in its beta phase, Friend.Tech requires a specific sign-up code for access.
A yet-to-be-unveiled section on the app hints at a forthcoming token release.
This has ignited a wave of excitement among users, many of whom are sharing referral codes in hopes of benefiting from a potential airdrop.
However, this sudden spike in user registrations led to a temporary server shutdown on Thursday due to the overwhelming demand.
Coinbase's Base, an Ethereum ETH/USD layer 2 blockchain, was developed using the Optimism software framework and is a product of Coinbase's incubation efforts.
