The first ever album on Ethereum.
First crypto music platform.
Early social tokens.

Now, Memory.

Meet our founders @jx and @RAC and why Memory is the most ambitious thing they've built in crypto.

RAC is a Grammy-award winning artist, with 5m+ Soundcloud followers.

He's also one of the earliest artists to experiment with crypto.

His 2017 album EGO was the first album ever released on Ethereum.

The internet forgets you. Memory doesn’t.

Co-founder Jack has been with RAC through the whole journey.

Early at @Consensys, Jack helped build Ujo — the first crypto music platform.

They went on to release $RAC — one of the earliest social tokens.

And $TAPE — the first thing ever launched on Zora.

But one thing remained unsolved.

Platform dependency.

This goes back to RAC building an audience of 5 million Soundcloud followers ... and not being able to take those with him.

Or have any insight into his fans.

What is Memory?

Memory makes your digital life portable across the internet.

Your followers, preferences and things you create can be managed in one place and taken with you between platforms.

It will be achieved through a combination of:

✷ zkTLS - bringing your web2 data onchain.
✷ User data vaults - managing your data and earning.
✷ Shared protocol - allowing apps to read and write upon open data.

If we're right, it unlocks a new version of the internet where your identity and data flows freely between apps, instead of trapped on platforms.

"Right now it's a chaotic mess of very siloed data, nobody speaks to each other, it’s very fragmented."

This started out as a way to fix music data and unlock the artist<>fan relationship.

But ... if you spend enough time thinking about who should own music data, you end up thinking about who should own data, period.

This is bigger than all of us.

He explains:

“Something really important to me is not being beholden to a specific platform. Because I’ve had to switch so often. MySpace to Soundcloud to Instagram.

You build up these audiences for these platforms, and they just take them.”

Memory fixes this.
