But more importantly, it boosts retention, reduces churn, and pays your users. Introducing Magical Onboard...

For two decades, the internet paid you zero for your data. Today, you get paid. Memory Protocol is now sharing payments weekly with users when their data is queried. This week, 7,372 wallets are eligible for a total of 15,517 $MEM. It starts with small micropayments, but it’s working: a new onchain model where people control their data and get recurring payments when it’s used.How does it work?When apps, websites or AI agents access the Memory Protocol API, they pay a fee in $MEM — just like ...

A token is central to Memory Protocol’s functionality. It is the missing piece that aligns incentives between apps and agents who want to build with open data, and the users that provide it. $MEM is also the medium of exchange and reward system for the protocol. That’s why we launched the token as early as possible in the protocol’s lifecycle, with full wallet and distribution disclosures. Yesterday, $MEM went live on Aerodrome, completing the V0 protocol design.Tokenomics and transparencyWe’...

Introducing $MEM, designed to power Memory Protocol, align incentives for builders and internet users, and ensure the protocol is owned by all who contribute to it. The to...

It’s a simple thesis. Internet users should earn a share of revenue whenever their data is queried by platforms, apps or AI agents. It flips the existing internet model on its head by rewarding you for the value you create, instead of platforms taking that value for themselves. So, how does it work? Let’s break down the onchain payment system inside Memory, powering instant payments between apps, AI agents and users. And how it will evolve in the future.The simple versionIn the simplest possi...
