We are excited to announce the MeWe API Hackathon 2025, a milestone moment in our mission to reshape how people connect online.

Why this matters

Online privacy and genuine human connection are the defining challenges of the digital age. Time and again, we’ve seen the same story play out across major platforms: if you aren’t paying for it, you are the product.

At MeWe, we’ve always chosen a different path. No ads. No tracking. No manipulation. Now, with our first internal MeWe Hackathon, we’re going back into build mode to explore what’s possible when privacy comes first.

What’s happening

🗓️ When: September 1st – 3rd, 2025
🎯 Goal: Build a working prototypes using our new Open API beta

This is a unique opportunity for developers that will experiment with the first open, privacy-first APIs that could redefine how communities connect. Imagine apps and tools where:

  • Your data isn’t harvested.
  • Your conversations aren’t mined.
  • Your online identity stays fully yours.

Why it’s different

Most platforms trade privacy for profit. We’re showing that a privacy-centric ecosystem can be just as innovative, exciting, and scalable, without selling out its users. This event is the start of building a new digital future that privacy advocates and communities have been waiting for.

What comes next

So, what will our developers create during the MeWe API Hackaton? We can’t wait to find out. This is only the beginning, and we’ll keep you informed as projects take shape.

The future of online connections and communities is being built right now.
