Stop Building for Ghost Towns! If you’ve spent any time developing in the modern web3 or web2 social spaces, you know the drill. You spend months of late nights, downing caffeine, writing pristine code, and obsessing over the perfect UI, only to deploy your app to an absolute ghost town.
Most modern platforms force you to build inside a vacuum. They gatekeep their APIs, hide your work behind manipulative algorithms, or hand out theoretical grants for networks where the only active accounts are MEV bots and airdrop farmers.
We think that model is broken. At mewe, we believe the future of social technology belongs to the independent developers, builders, and creators who actually make the web a fun, useful place to be.
That’s why we’re throwing open our doors and launching the mewe Bounty Program—a multi-month, high-octane sandbox where you can build, iterate, and deploy your tools directly to a thriving ecosystem of 21 million users.
The Anti-Ghost Town Sandbox
The mewe Bounty Program isn’t your typical, high-stress weekend hackathon. This is an active, ongoing developer runway running from July to September.
We’ve created a dedicated build in public hub right on mewe. This is your staging ground.
Whether you want to build custom mini-apps, creative social utilities, interactive group games, or privacy-first plugins, you can drop your work-in-progress (WIP) builds directly into the group. You’ll get real-time, unfiltered feedback from actual humans who want to use your software on day one.
“Perfectionism is the death of good software,” says Bogu, our build in public group lead. “We want you to share your rough prototypes, your broken UIs, and your raw ideas. Let the community help you shape it. That’s how legendary products are born.”
The Bi-Weekly Lootbox
To support your building journey, we are dropping serious rewards every single cycle. Every two weeks, our review board will select 2 to 4 outstanding projects to split our bi-weekly prize pools:
- Hard Cash & Utility: A bi-weekly split of 2,000 USDC and 4,000 $SOSHI (powered by our infrastructure partners at Soshi).
- mewe Premium: Winners get a free year of mewe Premium, unlocking advanced features to help you experience the platform at its absolute limit.
- The Ultimate Distribution: Top-tier builds will be fast-tracked for direct integration into the official mewe Marketplace, exposing your product to millions of global users.
The 2-Step Playbook to Get Paid
Getting started takes less than five minutes:
- Join the Hub: Head over to mewe and join our official build in public group. This is where the developer prompts, updates, and feedback loops live.
- Ship & Iterate: Drop your project overview, nearly finished demos, GitHub repository links, screenshots, or demo videos in the group. Gather community feedback, polish your build, and submit it before the bi-weekly cutoff.
The Road to the Avalanche Summit
On September 16, 2026, live on stage at the Avalanche Summit, mewe and Soshi will officially unveil the flagship SOSHI Block Party Hackathon, unlocking massive venture capital pools, institutional backing, and global developer tracks.
The teams who are inside our group right now, validating their code and building an audience of active mewe users, will have a massive head start. By the time the summit drops, you’ll already have pre-validated tech, real-world user data, and a working prototype ready to compete for the biggest prize pools in the ecosystem.
Stop building in a vacuum. Grab your compiler, join the community, and let’s build a better, algorithm-free web together.
