Phantom has officially stated it does not plan to launch a token, despite rumors following the announcement of its social discovery feature. This feature will enable users to create profiles, add friends, and select privacy levels. Some community members, like X user 'Slim', speculated users would earn tokens by gaining followers, sparking token launch rumors.
