Web3 is buzzing with a new trend called “frenpet” as the SocialFi trend slows down. Frenpet, an app created by @CaduVeloso and @surfcoderepeat, allows users to mint a pixel art pet reminiscent of the Tamagotchi virtual pet toy. The app gained popularity after a tweet from Coinbase Wallet. Users need to feed and take care of their pets, with added features like cleaning up pet poop and engaging in fights with other pets.

While other similar apps require content creation and community engagement, frenpet simplifies the process. Pets in frenpet earn ETH over time, and users buy pet food and other items with $FP, the native token on Base. The app is still in beta, facing some technical issues, but it has gained attention for its adorable pixel art design and potential for $FP speculators.

Frenpet is seen as a fun and engaging experience, combining elements of gaming, NFTs, and social interactions. The app has gained traction despite being in beta, and its future developments, including features like a house and garden for pets, are anticipated by users.
