Is my friend getting scammed ?

Hello fine people ! I came to the experts to ask about a friend who recently got into crypto and explained to me something who raised red flags. Please excuse any error on my part, I'm not a crypto bro, just a concerned friend.

So my friend was advised by another friend of him that he met online (supposedly a while ago and definitely not a scammer…).

That guy explained to him something called smart contract mining and that he could win passive income.

So he showed me his apps and explained the steps he was instructed to take. He installed an app called Bitget wallet. He set up a wallet and bought ETH on it. He then transferred it to USD tokens ? (Why not start with those? Is he not paying transactions ?)

Then there is like an internet browser inside that app, and on there he goes to a website. That can see all is capital from his wallet ! Is this normal ? And apparently his capital is used to mine ETH, and he talked about profits that seems way too much. Apparently he could withdraw anytime ?

He did have to give some sort of access to the miner site, but couldn't tell me 100% that the access is safe.

Is he right to trust his friend and the app/site/whole process or is this a scam ? Should I stop him? I never seen him mention that kind of money before and I'm afraid he will loose it.

Also for clarification the money shown in the capital on the site is also still shown in his app capital.

Please also let me know if I'm being stupid here and all that is legit.
