Announcing: Memory API Builder Rewards

500k $MEM in rewards for developers

Memory is launching a focused, two-week builder program to showcase what’s possible when apps can see and understand user identity across platforms using the Memory API.

The Memory API is the missing identity layer for Base-native consumer apps, connecting wallets, Farcaster, Twitter/X, and more into a unified, user-owned social graph. Builders will be rewarded and use $MEM to create personalized, socially-aware mini-apps inside the Base App ecosystem.
