A new economy of app development

Building applications isn’t easy. The creation of even simple digital products requires a significant time investment.

Despite helpful tools, many developers find themselves back at square one as an increasing number of digital products are released daily, leading to an ever-widening divide between cooperating tools and devices. This limits what developers can do, and how quickly they can do it.

There is an upcoming cryptocurrency-fueled Marketplace built by MESG that’s aiming to tackle these issues from multiple ends. It’s set to radically change the way apps are built and monetized upon.

Earn tokens while reducing busy work

The goal of the MESG Marketplace is for developers to buy and sell major components of applications, called Modules (known by developers as “services”), then simply plug in those Modules into any combination of new or existing software.

The open reuse of components is made possible by the MESG Engine, which uses event-driven architecture to manage connections between all Modules, regardless of their programming languages or data formats.

This nearly limitless interoperability may seem like magic, but this is simply the result of combining some of the most effective already-existing methods, tools and ideas into a single platform.

A combination of powerful tools

There is a strong precedent for easy app-building platforms, seen in products like AWS and MuleSoft. Unlike those, MESG features an open Marketplace where users directly buy and sell Modules with other users using the MESG Token.

This opens up the door to healthy competition and allows profit potential for all who participate.

Other marketplaces typically only sell one type of shortcut: APIs. With MESG, developers can connect Modules not only to APIs, but also blockchains, decentralized networks, SaaS, IoT devices, or even standalone applications.

As long as the data is accessible via the internet, it can be connected to MESG.

The token-fueled development economy

It’s the symbiotic relationship between a modular application building platform and a marketplace for the buying and selling of app components that fuels the new economy of development to grow and expand.

The MESG Token will unite this development economy, while providing trustless data security, direct transactions between participants, and profit potential for all who join.

The MESG Token will be released at the end of January, 2019. Stay tuned for additional listing details.

Decentralization: coming soon

The MESG Marketplace will soon be expanded to a decentralized network in Q1 of 2020, where participants will have even more ways to earn — no development skills required.

Users will be able to simply run their computers to support the processing of data in the Network, and will receive payment in MESG Tokens for their participation.

Soon after the network is launched, payment for Modules will transition from a one-time fee, to menu of different choices available to creators, adding options like subscription and pay-per-use, and include freemium and free trial options as well.

Get started now

MESG’s tool for building and connecting Modules is available for use today.

Check out our Quick Start Guide to begin building Modules now, and get paid as soon as the economy launches.

Modules are temporarily being shared for free on Github, however a web-based version of the MESG Marketplace will be launched with the MESG Token near the end of January, 2019.
