avoid.net/friend-tech→49/100[WARNING]Friend.tech was a SocialFi application launched on Coinbase's Base L2 in August 2023 that allowed users to buy and sell tokenized 'keys' (shares) of social media influencers. The platform suffered a wave of SIM-swap attacks draining at least 343 ETH from users, exposed wallet addresses of 101,000 users via an API data breach, launched its FRIEND token in May 2024 which collapsed 98% within months, and was ultimately abandoned by its pseudonymous founders in September 2024 after they extracted approximately $44 million in protocol fees.
avoid.net/kaito→63/100[CAUTIONARY]KAITO is the native token of Kaito AI, an AI-powered 'InfoFi' (information finance) platform built on Base blockchain, founded by former Citadel quantitative trader Yu Hu and launched in February 2025. On March 15, 2025, both the official Kaito AI X account and Yu Hu's personal account were compromised by hackers who spread false claims of wallet breaches while simultaneously holding short positions on KAITO, netting an estimated $1 million in profit from the manufactured price panic. The platform faced additional scrutiny from blockchain investigator ZachXBT over alleged AI bot spam incentivized by its Yaps reward system, which was ultimately sunset in January 2026 after X revoked API access to all InfoFi applications.
