Time.fun creator 0xKawz expressed dissatisfaction with Base platform's promotion of the Grok meme token, over their project.
Dispute Over Grok Token Promotion
On March 10, Base's X account promoted the GrokCoin token and its AI-managed wallet, which had already collected over $200,000 in fees. This move raised questions about the future of AI projects.
Time.fun Enters the Discussion
Time.fun creator 0xKawz noted their surprise at Base's preference for GrokCoin, especially given that Base had ignored Time.fun despite its backing from several investment funds.
Time.fun’s Status and Future Plans
Time.fun currently attracts investor attention and considers the potential release of their own tokens. For now, the project is focused on finding product-market fit, having secured $3M in funding in August 2024 from Coinbase Ventures and others.
The situation with GrokCoin promotion highlighted publicity challenges for Time.fun, raising questions about how platforms allocate attention among projects.
