Our story
At Meem, we’re enabling a future of portable communities — that is, groups of people linked by their desire to do something together, not by their co-existence in a given walled garden.
A community exists outside the bounds of a single platform. It’s a book club that organizes its meetings over email, aggregates discussion questions in Google Docs, posts reviews on GoodReads, and shares ad hoc recommendations over WhatsApp. It’s a DAO of savvy developers who discuss proposals on Discord, publish code to GitHub, and coordinate meetups over Telegram. It’s a group of academics who originally met at a conference, share relevant articles on an email listserv, and engage with the same conversations on Twitter. The people and their shared purpose make the community; the platform facilitates (or, increasingly, intermediates) their activity.
We’re letting communities decide for themselves who’s in their group, what those members’ roles and rules are, and what tools they want to use together. And we’re stitching together a multitude of Web2 and Web3 platforms to let communities collaboratively publish.
We do this through community agreements — Meem smart contracts deployed, owned, and controlled by the communities themselves. Communities define the roles and rules for their members and issue credentials to a verifiable registry that’s respected by their tools.
We’ve built an open-source stack with multiple access points for communities and developers:
