LimeWire Token (LMWR)
LimeWire is Back
LimeWire is back! The iconic file-sharing platform from the 2000s made a major comeback in 2022, evolving into a cutting-edge ecosystem driven by AI and blockchain technology. The new LimeWire allows millions of users and businesses to securely create, upload, and share files of any size across all devices.
LMWR, LimeWire's native utility token, sits at the core of this revamped platform and powers essential parts of the LimeWire ecosystem. LMWR is used for payments and rewards across two key platforms: the LimeWire file sharing and AI Platform, which enables seamless file sharing, content creation, and collaboration with advanced AI tools, as well as LimeWire Network, a decentralized file and object storage network (DePIN). With the help of LMWR, LimeWire and LimeWire Network are reshaping the future of decentralized file sharing, storage and AI.
The LimeWire Ecosystem
Once a pioneer in digital file sharing, LimeWire returned in 2022 with a renewed mission: to combine its established brand and expertise with the possibilities of modern Web3 and AI technologies. As global demand for secure, fast, and reliable file sharing, storage, and data processing continues to grow, LimeWire addresses these challenges through a two-platform ecosystem:
- LimeWire File Sharing & AI Platform
The LimeWire AI Platform combines LimeWire's pioneering experience in file-sharing with the power of AI. This platform provides a dynamic space where millions of users can securely upload, create, and transfer files of any size across devices. Integrated AI tools allow for seamless content creation and editing, using advanced models to reshape how people collaborate on and produce digital projects.
The LimeWire Network is a decentralized file and object storage protocol built for scalable, secure, and cost-efficient data infrastructure. As cloud and decentralized storage markets grow rapidly, it offers an enterprise-grade, S3-compatible alternative to providers like AWS or Google Cloud—without vendor lock-in or minimum retention. Validator-backed guarantees, Web3-native incentives, and full Web2 compatibility make it easy for developers and enterprises to store and retrieve data at scale. The LMWR token powers payments and network rewards.
LimeWire Token (LMWR) Utility
LMWR is the utility token at the heart of the LimeWire file sharing and AI ecosystem. It serves as a payment and reward method on the LimeWire AI platform and powers LimeWire Network, the decentralized storage network (DePIN) operated by LimeWire.
- LMWR Staking and Platform Rewards
LMWR can be staked using one of multiple decentralized Web3 Staking Pools, available on the LMWR Staking Pools page. In addition, the LimeWire platform is configured to reward its generative AI and file sharing users for being active on the platform and holding a minimum amount of LMWR.
