Joining world-class builders in Manhattan this September to showcase how privacy-first social architecture and scalable blockchain technology are shaping the future of digital ownership.
We are thrilled to announce that mewe is heading to New York City for Avalanche Summit 2026! Taking place on September 16–17 at Chelsea Industrial, this landmark gathering brings together leaders, developers, and visionaries across the Web3 ecosystem.
As part of our commitment to building an open, privacy-first social web, mewe is stepping into the spotlight at this year’s Summit as both an Official Sponsor and a featured Key Speaker.
Here is a look at what we are bringing to NYC and how you can connect with our team on the ground.
Carlos Betancourt Takes the Stage: Onchain Finance & Consumer Web3
As digital ecosystems shift toward user ownership, social platforms sit at the center of mainstream Web3 adoption. Our CEO, Carlos Betancourt, will be taking the stage as an official speaker at Avalanche Summit 2026.
Carlos will lead conversations around the future of consumer applications, privacy rights, and the infrastructure needed to support high-volume social networks onchain.
- Key Topics: Onchain finance, social monetization, scalable consumer apps, and why Web3 capabilities (such as tipping, tokenized rewards, and digital collectibles) must be integrated without compromising personal privacy or selling user data.
- Venue: Chelsea Industrial, NYC
- Dates: September 16–17, 2026
“We are demonstrating that social networking can offer robust Web3 capabilities—tipping, monetization, digital collectibles, and real utility—without tracking users, selling biometrics, or serving creepy targeted ads.”
