For fifteen years, the Like button has been the heartbeat of social media. But let’s be honest: in an age of AI bots and click farms, a Like is increasingly worthless. It doesn’t pay the bills, and it doesn’t prove a human is even behind the screen.
Today, mewe is officially retiring the era of vanity metrics.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Embedded Digital Wallets. By integrating with Soshi blockchain, we are onboarding our entire global community of 21+ million users into the Web3 economy instantly, invisibly, and without the headaches of traditional crypto.
From Privacy-First to Value-First
mewe has always been the alt-social, built on a foundation of privacy and data ownership. But privacy is only the first step. To truly empower users, we need to change how value is exchanged.
The ‘Like’ button is a relic of the old internet, says Carlos Betancourt, CEO of MeWe. It pays creators nothing and can be faked by AI in milliseconds. In 2026, the only signal that proves a human is on the other side of the screen is a transfer of value.
By replacing Proof of Engagement with Proof of Value, we are turning the social graph into an economic engine for the middle-class creator.
Empowering the 99%
On platforms like TikTok or Instagram, you need millions of followers to make a living. On mewe, we care about the 99% of creators who lead our 700,000+ interest groups.
Whether you are a moderator of a niche hobby group or a digital artist, you can now monetize your passion directly through your community. No algorithms to fight, no advertisers to appease just direct support from people who value what you do.
The Roadmap Ahead
The Embedded Digital Wallet is rolling out today to our global user base. Tipping is currently enabled for verified community groups, with full peer-to-peer interactions scheduled to expand by Q1 2026.
The social web is no longer just about talking; it’s about thriving. It’s time to vote with your wallet, not just your thumb.
