New Social Token Network Alpha Emerges as Rival to Struggling Friend.tech

A new social token network called Alpha has emerged as a rival to Friend.tech, built on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Alpha uses Bitcoin for data validity and Polygon for storage, with its own scaling solution. It aims to lower fees.
Alpha was built in just 48 hours by pseudonymous co-founder Punk3700 and has a community focus.
It works by users buying tokens connected to creators to access exclusive content.
This comes as Friend.tech struggles with metrics, rumors, and copycats, punishing users who switch.
