Every Friday, Memory Protocol pays users a share of revenue based on how much of their data is used.

More than 15,000 users have been eligible to claim since we launched 7 weeks ago.

And every week, we get a flood of messages from people saying thank you.

It’s a good reminder that this is your data.

You deserve to get paid for it.

We’ve all grown up with an internet that does not value our data.

We accept that platforms keep our information behind locked doors. Sell it to advertisers. Feed it to AI models.

But that’s not how the internet was supposed to be.

You were supposed to own your own data. You were supposed to take it with you across the internet. And decide who gets access to it.

That was the original vision.

The weekly payments are micropayments. 

But every Friday we are slowly changing people’s perception of how their data should be used. 

Every Friday you get paid a little bit of revenue based on which apps accessed your data that week. Every Friday we normalize data ownership a little bit more.

Until you start to demand it from every website. And every app.

Last week a new app launched, powered by Memory.

FollowSync is a mini-app enabling users to sync their follow graph from Twitter to Base App. A perfect example of how Memory’s shared data layer can unlock composability across platforms.

More than 600 people used FollowSync to port their followers between platforms so far, and Memory Protocol pays a portion of revenue to all users, and those whose data is called.

Building on the success of FollowSync, we also launched a rewards program for developers in the Base ecosystem.

We are accepting submissions for a focused two-week buildathon, with 500,000 $MEM in rewards for all accepted participants.

The goal is to create novel mini-apps using the Memory API.

Submissions are open until the end of today (October 28th).
