Memory Protocol

Last week we opened up Memory Vaults to everyone and we saw over 40,000 new accounts.

Memory is the foundation for how the internet was supposed to work. Users own their data, earn when it’s used, and take it with them between apps. Builders have limitless imagination to build on top of open data. But there has always been a missing piece for this original vision: aligned incentives and native payment rails. 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...

This past week a flurry of tweets read like adverts for Memory Protocol. I summarized them to remember the moment.

A year ago, we set out to build an protocol for music data. Now we know it's about something bigger: giving people true control of their digital lives.

Two months ago we launched a test version of Factory.fm, the third and flagship app in the Oscillator family. Factory.fm is similar to “Letterboxd” or “Goodreads” but for music — you can track your favorite records, rate or review albums and discover new music from your friends. After several weeks in private alpha, we’re opening up to everyone with a full desktop version, fresh design and improved UI. It’s also the first step to Factory.fm becoming your “Forever Music Profile,” powered by ou...

If you’re a user that has been active onchain in the ...

We're trying to make data portable between apps, so we built and open-sourced Universal Identity System (UIS).

On Friday evening, after the FarCon summit wrapped up, I found myself walking north through Williamsburg with an old ConsenSys friend. Eight years earlier, we’d walked these same streets while just beginning to explore crypto and blockchain, back when the neighborhood felt different, and so did the technology.

This week we are releasing Memory's first MCP tooling, enabling access to the Memory API via any MCP compatible AI assistant like Claude or Cursor. Find it here and begin using it today via our public docs site. We have been inspired by the promise of portable identity and data for a long time. In the face of AI, the demand for keeping our personal data feels more prescient now than ever. We believe the demand for personal data for AI will be the driving force that finally forces portable, us...
