Memory Protocol rewards users for contributing valuable data to the ecosystem. When consumer applications query your data through the Memory API, you automatically earn a share of the $MEM tokens they pay. The more frequently your data is accessed, the more you earn.
Even if you’ve never used Memory, you’re already earning! The protocol automatically indexes public data from platforms like Twitter and Farcaster. Whenever applications query your public social graph or posts, you receive a portion of the fees—no action required. This passive income serves as an incentive to explore deeper engagement with the protocol.
Rewards are calculated and distributed weekly through an on-chain Merkle Tree distributor contract. The system tracks all data queries throughout the week and computes each user’s earnings based on:
Frequency of data access by consumer apps
Type of data queried (public, structured, or unstructured)
