如果用一张图形容 Friend.Tech。

2024 年 9 月 8 日，曾红极一时的加密社交应用 Friend.Tech 发布公告称已经项目管理和所有权参数已设置为 0x000...000 的以太坊空地址，即锁定当前系统，阻止进一步更改，意味着 Friend.Tech 放弃对智能合约的控制，平台已基本关闭。

Friend.Tech 由匿名开发者 Racer 创建，并于 2023 年 8 月 10 日在 Base 上推出。推出第一天，日活跃用户便达到 136,000 人。

8 月 15 日，Friend.Tech 宣布将向 App 测试用户空投奖励积分。测试期间，这些积分将在链下进行收集，并且在应用程序正式发布后有特殊用途，一开始 Friend.Tech 便埋下了将会空投的种子。

8 月 19 日，Friend.Tech 在社交平台上表示已完成种子轮融资，Paradigm 参投。

8 月 21 日，推出十天后，Friend.Tech 收入超 1000 ETH，达到 1165.2 ETH。协议交易总量达 25,633.5 ETH，用户总市值为 10,663.3 ETH。24 小时共产生 112 万美元协议费用，超过同期的 Uniswap 和比特币网络，仅次于以太坊和 Lido 协议。

8 月 30 日，Friend.Tech 披露平台数据称大约 2 万名 Key 持有者每天查看 room 阅读消息，次日留存率超过 75%，周留存率超过 50%，此外，活跃 Key 持有者平均每天使用 Friend.Tech 的时间超过 30 分钟。

9 月 1 日，Friend.Tech 日交易量已从 8 月 21 日的 1600 万美元锐减至约 70 万美元，降幅超 95%。

2023 年 8 月底至 9 月初，Friend.Tech 收入低谷期

随着技术问题修复，Friend.Tech 信任危机解除后，其协议收入又再次增长。9 月 8 日，据 DeFiLlama 数据显示，Friend.Tech TVL 突破 1000 万美元，达 1035 万美元。创下自今年 8 月份推出以来的新高。

9 月 14 日，据 Dune 数据信息，Friend.Tech 协议费用已超 5000 ETH，达 5063.104 ETH（价值约合 837.5 万美元），其累计交易笔数达 4,597,737 笔。昨日交易笔数达 53.8 万笔，创历史新高，交易金额约 1.239 万枚 ETH（约 2007 万美元）。

9 月 21 日，Friend.Tech 推出网页版，用户可在浏览器中使用 Friend.Tech。

10 月 1 日，Dune 数据显示，Friend.Tech 协议收入达 10,319.6 枚 ETH，交易总量达 227,030.3 枚 ETH，用户总市值为 54,244.63 枚 ETH。

11 月 20 日，据多方社群消息，目前存在大量 friend.tech 真实账户被误判为机器人账户，导致这些账户本周出现没有分配到积分的情况。

11 月 26 日，friend.tech 创始人 Racer 的推特账号 @0xRacerAlt 已无法显示。

此后的一段时间，Friend.Tech 官推的更新十分缓慢，直到 2024 年 2 月底开始预热 V2。在此期间，Friend.Tech 团队开始套现。12 月 3 日，Friend.Tech 协议手续费接收地址 (0xdd9) 在 4 小时前将 7821 枚 ETH (1694 万美元 ) 转入了 Coinbase。

整个 3 月期间，Friend.Tech 的官推没有任何产品更新。

4 月 27 日，Friend.Tech 官方在社交媒体上发文表示完成数据修复及快照，已锁定积分余额。

5 月 3 日，Friend.Tech 开放空投代币 FRIEND 申领，FRIEND 暂报 3.34 美元。

5 月 4 日，Friend.Tech 正式发布 V2 版本。

5 月 18 日，据 Dune 数据显示，Friend.Tech V2 发布以来，Club 数已达 225,088 个，总交易额达 27,670,735 枚 FRIEND，Club 费用达 398,145 枚 FRIEND。

空投事宜尘埃落定，V2 版本也正式推出，从 Friend.Tech 的官推判断，整个 4 月至 5 月，其账户活跃度明显增加，甚至还会整活。

5 月 27 日，Friend.Tech 协议的联合创始人 Racer 在其社交平台表示有意将 Friend.Tech 从 Base 迁移出去。同时，Racer 称 Friend.Tech 团队与 Base 的关系一直不稳定，并表示「被 Base 社区所排斥」。截止发稿，Racer 发文的 X 账号暂时无法访问。作为回应，Coinbase 的 Base 负责人 Jesse Pollak 承认 Friend.Tech 团队感到与 Base 和以太坊生态的某些部分「孤立和脱节」。

6 月 11 日，Friend.Tech 的多签地址将 2809 枚 ETH（价值 1011 万美元）转入了 Coinbase。

6 月 20 日，Friend.Tech 表示将准备推出 Friend Chain，此后官方宣布与 Conduit 合作开发基于 Base 的社交专用链 Friendchain，Gas 代币为 FRIEND。但随后 Friend.Tech 删除了这条推文，意味着放弃了 Friendchain 愿景，并遵循社区反馈决定不将 FRIEND 迁移至其他链。

整个 7 月，Friend.Tech 的官方推特账户都没有发布任何动态。7 月 9 日，Friend.Tech 的独立买家为 5 人，独立卖家为 10 人，日活跃用户数创历史新低。

又是一年 8 月，Friend.Tech 官推每天只会发布一条内容——当日的五个热门 club 名称，似乎是一种极度疯狂之后的摆烂行为。

一直持续到 9 月 8 日，发布了这条宣告着 Friend.Tech 项目名存实亡的公告，称 Friend.Tech 开发者放弃对智能合约的控制，平台已基本关闭。

公告里表示开发者调用智能合约功能，将控制权转移至以太坊的空地址，锁定当前系统，阻止进一步更改。「目前来自智能合约或网站的任何费用都不再流向 Friend.Tech 开发团队的多签钱包。」虽然平台看似仍会继续运作，但控制权的放弃几乎使得引入新功能变得不可能，合约所有权撤销阻止了有意向为该社交平台添加功能的新团队收购该平台。

从与 Base 关系的微妙变化到 Friend Chain 愿景的夭折，Friend.Tech 自更新 V2 及发布空投后便一路坠机。Friend.tech 自上线以来共产生约 8929 万美元费用收入，其中 4467 万美元分配给创作者，剩余部分归 Friend.tech 团队所有。回顾这一年的项目发展节点，曾在去年同一时间如日中天的独角兽如今人走茶凉，叫人唏嘘。

a16z: How Tokenization is Transforming the Nature of Assets in 7 Charts

"Tokenized Assets: How Tokenization Changes the Nature of Assets" by a16z Crypto The market for tokenized assets, excluding stablecoins, has grown from under $3 billion two years ago to over $340 billion today. US Treasury bonds are the primary growth driver, allowing investors to hold yield-bearing assets digitally and enabling more efficient settlement. Other key sectors include private credit (growing fastest), commodities (dominated by gold), and niche financial assets. However, the market remains concentrated in tokenized US Treasuries and gold. A critical insight is that most tokenized assets currently lack "composability." While the total market is large, only a small fraction is actively used within DeFi protocols. For instance, only about 5% of tokenized bonds and a low percentage of tokenized gold are utilized on-chain. In contrast, assets like reinsurance and private credit tokens show much higher on-chain usage rates (84% and 33%, respectively). This highlights a divide: many tokenized assets are merely digital records on a blockchain without enabling new, programmable financial applications. The Pantera Capital Token Native Index indicates over 70% of tokenized assets have minimal on-chain native functionality. Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain for tokenized assets (over $150B), but the ecosystem is diversifying across chains like BNB Chain, Solana, and Stellar, based on factors like cost and compliance. Major institutions forecast massive future growth, with predictions for the tokenized asset market ranging from $2 trillion to over $30 trillion by the early 2030s. However, compared to the global financial system (e.g., ~$140T bonds, multi-trillion dollar gold market), tokenized assets currently represent a tiny fraction (0.01% or less). The conclusion is that while tokenization has begun by digitizing and streamlining settlement for simpler assets, the next phase involves bringing more complex financial instruments on-chain and deeply integrating them into composable, internet-native financial infrastructure.

The Revived Codex, Carrying OpenAI's Hopes for IPO

This article analyzes the intense recent development of OpenAI's Codex, positioning it as a crucial component for OpenAI's impending IPO. Over the past two months, Codex has seen a rapid series of major updates focused on integrating into real enterprise workflows. Key new features include enhanced context capture (Appshots, file previews, built-in browser), long-running task execution ("Goal Mode"), remote operation (phone control, lock-screen access), and enterprise management tools (plugin sharing, access tokens, automated risk review). These updates aim to make Codex a comprehensive AI workbench that can "see the scene, push tasks, and manage risks." The author argues that while ChatGPT proves OpenAI's massive user base and API provides foundational revenue, Codex represents OpenAI's clearest path to demonstrating tangible, high-value commercial viability. It targets developers and engineering teams—a segment already accustomed to paying for efficiency gains in costly software development cycles. This is critical because, despite higher overall revenue, OpenAI's adjusted operating margins remain deeply negative, highlighting the challenge of outrunning immense compute costs. The pressure is amplified by competitor Anthropic's success with Claude Code, which has shown that a focused approach on high-value enterprise and developer workflows can lead to a path toward profitability. Codex's aggressive evolution is thus seen as OpenAI's strategic move to capture a similar enterprise-ready, revenue-generating narrative essential for its market debut. In essence, "ChatGPT proved OpenAI has users. Codex needs to prove OpenAI is a business that can make money."

a16z: 7 Charts to Understand How Tokenization Is Changing the Nature of Assets

a16z: 7 Charts on How Tokenization is Transforming the Nature of Assets Tokenized Assets, often referred to as "real-world assets" (RWA), are altering the form, flow, and structure of the financial system. The market recently surpassed $30 billion (excluding stablecoins), driven largely by tokenized U.S. Treasuries. These offer investors digital, yield-bearing assets with efficient settlement. Growth varies significantly by asset class. Asset-backed credit leads in speed, followed by niche financial assets, while venture capital and active strategies took longer to scale. U.S. Treasuries and commodities dominate, holding about two-thirds of the current market share. Within commodities, gold tokenization dominates entirely due to its standardization and historical appeal in crypto. The ecosystem is spread across multiple blockchains. Ethereum holds over half the market, with others like BNB Chain, Solana, and Stellar holding significant shares. However, a key insight is that most tokenized assets currently lack "composability." While the total market is large, only a small fraction (e.g., 5% of tokenized bonds) is used within DeFi protocols. Many tokens are simply digital records of off-chain assets, not natively programmable financial building blocks. In contrast, smaller categories like reinsurance tokens see very high on-chain usage. Looking ahead, forecasts for the tokenized asset market by 2030 range from $2 trillion to over $30 trillion, representing immense potential growth from today's ~$340 billion base. Yet, relative to global markets (e.g., $140T+ in bonds), tokenization's penetration remains minuscule (<0.02%). The current phase focuses on digitizing straightforward assets for efficiency. The next major challenge is bringing more complex financial instruments on-chain and integrating tokenized assets into truly composable, internet-native financial infrastructure.

The First Person to Fly by Mars Will Be a Bitcoin Miner

The first person to conduct a flyby of Mars will be a Bitcoin miner. In 2026, Wang Chun, co-founder of the F2Pool mining pool, announced from Bouvet Island that he would command a SpaceX Starship on humanity's first crewed interplanetary mission to Mars. His journey began in childhood, fascinated by blank spaces on maps and later by programming and systematic record-keeping. After discovering Bitcoin in 2011, he co-founded F2Pool, which grew to mine over 1.3 million BTC. His wealth from mining and his later PoS venture, stake.fish, funded his ambitions. After traveling to Earth's poles, he conceived and funded a private SpaceX mission, Fram2, achieving the first crewed polar orbit in 2025. Now, he plans a two-year Starship mission to fly by Mars, representing a shift where private individuals, empowered by new wealth like cryptocurrency, can personally define and fund humanity's next frontiers in space.

Data Theft at Will! Major Vulnerability Exposed in This Popular AI Programming Tool

A critical vulnerability in Anthropic's Claude Code AI programming tool allowed attackers to bypass its network sandbox for over five months, enabling potential data exfiltration. Independent researcher Aonan Guan discovered a second complete bypass exploiting a null-byte injection in the SOCKS5 proxy. This flaw, present since the sandbox's launch in October 2025, let processes inside the sandbox access any host, contrary to user-configured domain whitelists. The attack chain involved manipulating hostnames (e.g., `attacker.com\x00.google.com`). JavaScript's `endsWith()` check would pass `.google.com`, while the underlying C `getaddrinfo()` function would only parse `attacker.com` due to the null byte, creating a parser discrepancy. Combined with a previously disclosed prompt injection method, this could leak API keys, credentials, and internal data. Anthropic silently fixed the issue in April 2026 without a security advisory, CVE, or user notification. The researcher noted that Claude Code itself confirmed the vulnerability's severity when tested. This incident highlights broader industry issues, as similar vulnerabilities found in Google's Gemini CLI and GitHub's Copilot Agent also lacked public disclosures. The report criticizes the false sense of security created by a broken sandbox and emphasizes the need for defense-in-depth and transparency in AI tool security.
