Content creators from OnlyFans creators are flocking to the buzzy new crypto app Friend.tech.

Build on the newly launched Base network, Friend.tech is a Twitter-linked app that enables tokenized accounts into “keys.” Users that buy an account's keys, then get access to a private chat group of the respective accounts.

The migration of new users likely picked up speed after the app enabled sending photos on the app yesterday.

OnlyFans is a subscription-based social media platform that lets accounts earn money for sharing their photos or videos. The content is often of an adult or explicit nature.

Popular OnlyFans accounts made up some of the top trending accounts on Friend.tech Friday morning.

Around four OnlyFans content creators have entered the list of top 50 most-valuable accounts on Friend.tech alongside crypto influencers.

Ranked 13 on the list, JenfoxxUwU’s Friend.tech keys currently fetch 0.87 Ethereum, or $1,435, while her monthly OnlyFans subscription costs $3.75.

Several other Friend.tech users have noticed the influx of OnlyFans accounts on Friend.tech.

Seraphim, a DeFi contributor at numerous projects like Lido and Vertex Protocol tweeted this morning, “we literally have OnlyFans girls on Friend Tech.”

It appears that the content creators are using the new social media app on Base to expand their reach and attract new users.

Some creators are also using the app to attract users to other platforms like Telegram.

Friend.tech vs OnlyFans

With the inclusion of images on Friend.tech, both apps serve similar purposes: enabling paywalled content sharing.

With OnlyFans, the money goes directly to the content creator, albeit with some fees attached to it.

However, on Friend.tech, the ETH earned from selling keys are stored in a smart contract, which uses a bonding mechanism to price the keys based on the number of holders and keys sold.

According to Cryptokoryo’s Dune analytics dashboard for Friend.tech, the inflow of money into the smart contract registered a spike yesterday.

In total,116,036 users on the platform have deposited ETH worth $74.4 million on the app.

AI Won’t Tell You How to Build a Bomb—Unless You Say It’s a 'b0mB'

Remember when we thought AI security was all about sophisticated cyber-defenses and complex neural architectures? Well, Anthropic's latest research shows how today’s advanced AI hacking techniques can be executed by a child in kindergarten. Anthropic—which likes to rattle AI doorknobs to find vulnerabilities to later be able to counter them—found a hole it calls a “Best-of-N (BoN)” jailbreak. It works by creating variations of forbidden queries that technically mean the same thing, but are expre...

Elon Musk and Dogecoin: How the Billionaire Became the 'Dogefather'

As Dogecoin makes a comeback off the back of Bitcoin’s surge, some may be pondering: Where did the asset come from? What’s it for? And what’s Tesla CEO Elon Musk got to do with it?
