The biggest hype word of the last few months is “SocialFi”. We caught the trend early on and introduced ya’ll to Friend.Tech to start farming some Airdrop points. Today we’re here with an overview of similar platforms on different blockchains.
Are you ready?
Let’s dive in.
What is SocialFi?
To start with the obvious, what is SocialFi exactly?
SocialFi merges decentralized finance principles with the realm of social media, granting content creators authority over their data and enabling direct engagement with their audience.
In short, call it the web3 social media, or my personal favorite “It’s like Only fans for influencers”
Why is it interesting? People buy your shares (or “keys”) to have a conversation with you, and you get a % of the commission the platform takes. The more trading volume your keys get, the richer you will become.
1] Friend.Tech on Base / Ethereum
The biggest, and most well-known is Friend.Tech. About a month ago, we laid out a strategy for you on how to farm the points. If you missed it, I suggest you still have a look at it could be relevant to the other chains as well.

2] New Bitcoin City – SocialFi on BTC
New Bitcoin City (NBC) marks a significant evolution in reshaping the Bitcoin environment, where the creative excellence of Generative Village harmonizes with the financial advancements of the DeFi District.
They are currently reshaping to be somewhat of an aggregator, allowing you to trade on several SocialFi apps within one platform.
According to Defi Lama, the total TVL on New Bitcoin City is nearing $3 Million, which makes it seem we are fairly early on this one.
You can find all the airdrop details in our listing. The NBC app gives you a % of the fees from friends you refer to the platform as a bonus.
3] Stars Arena on AVAX
Stars Arena is a cutting-edge SocialFi trading platform on the Avalanche blockchain, enabling users to support X creators. It handles transactions with $AVAX, integrates a user-friendly wallet, and provides options for external fund management.
