FRIEND Plunges After Team Transfers Smart Control Control To Null Address

FRIEND’s price plummeted following a series of decisions from the project’s team. Most notably, it chose to abandon control of the token’s smart contract, which came within just a year of its launch.

On Sept. 8, the project’s management transferred control of their smart contract to the Ethereum null address. This has removed any possibility of the team regaining control of the contract to fix any bugs or introduce additional features on the platform in the future.

Following the transfer of the contract’s control, the Friend.Tech team attempted to reassure investors that it has no plans “to shutter or discontinue” the project’s web app. Instead, the team said that it transferred ownership to the null address so that the team can’t raise or create new fees in the future.
