The September 14th conference opened with a significant product milestone. The Gem Space mini-app catalog now contains 31 published mini-apps — a number that did not exist just six to eight weeks ago. The program was prepared, launched, and is developing successfully. The direction is now firmly set toward exponential growth as more third-party developers and service providers join the ecosystem.
What is particularly notable about the current moment is that the category mix is already shifting. The earliest mini-apps were predominantly games. What is appearing now tells a different story.
Several new mini-apps were highlighted at the conference. Wheel of Interstate and Together With You are psychological tools — the first explores what holds you back and what lifts you forward in life, the second is focused on relationships and improving connection with a significant other. Both are built around structured questions and deliver real, actionable insight.
- Aurora is a mini-app dedicated to women’s health.
- Astro Forecast generates a personalised daily forecast based on the user’s name, date and time of birth, and city of origin. The forecast updates every day. People pay for these kinds of forecasts — and they genuinely lift moods and engage users on a daily basis.
- Echo is a voting mini-app that makes it simple to create a poll — write a question, provide two to five answer options or allow free text responses, post it to a group or family chat, and collect fast answers. A feature long requested by users, now delivered through the mini-app ecosystem by an independent developer.
- The World of Loli is perhaps the most charming addition. Loli is a kitten character who tells stories to children aged two to five, sings songs, and plays games with them. The response from users who have tried it has been immediately positive. For anyone with young children or grandchildren, this is one to explore right away.
More mini-apps are coming soon, including a one-minute health check-up tool.
The distribution mechanism is also being highlighted actively. When a user opens any mini-app in the catalog and taps the three-button menu at the top, a share option appears. The link generated can be sent via WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, email, or any other channel. Someone who receives the link and does not yet have Gem Space will download the app, register, and enter the mini-app directly. This is a built-in distribution and user acquisition engine. Sharing mini-apps you enjoy is one of the most direct and effective ways to grow the platform.
The benchmark remains WeChat’s 4 million mini-apps, most of them commercial. That is the direction — and the path there begins with the ecosystem now being built.
Media Editing Now Live
A practical feature update was also shared. Users can now edit photos and videos directly inside Gem Space before sending — no need to leave the app. Photos can be cropped, drawn on, or signed with the pencil tool. Videos can be trimmed at the beginning or end. This is a frequently requested feature and its implementation inside the messenger makes the editing process significantly faster for everyday use.
Gem Premium: September 29th Launch
The Gem Premium subscription is confirmed for launch on Tuesday, September 29th, pending final App Store and Google Play marketplace review — a process the team is initiating ten days in advance to ensure approval is in place for the launch date.
The first phase of Gem Premium will include the following features:
- Guest access via link without registration — if someone does not yet have Gem Space, they can be invited to a call or meeting via a link, entering a specially created room without needing to download the app or register. Available to premium subscribers for one-on-one calls and large group meetings alike.
- Unlimited call duration — free accounts will have a time limit; premium accounts remove it entirely.
- Up to 300 participants per call — enabling large team meetings, webinars, and general assemblies.
- Full HD video for all participants — premium-quality video for everyone on the call, above the standard HD available to free users.
- Webinars for up to 1,000 participants.
- Unlimited voice message transcription — free accounts allow one transcription per day; premium removes this limit.
- No file size restrictions — send files of any size.
- Control over who can send voice and video messages.
- Unlimited chat pinning — free accounts allow up to 10 pinned chats; premium allows 20 to 50.
- Hidden online status and last seen time — for users who prefer not to show their activity.
- Premium badge — a visible distinction from standard users.
Phase two of Premium is already outlined and will include status setting, disabling forwarding and copying of messages, disappearing messages, screenshot restrictions, and reactions during calls.
Phase three will add chat folders for organizing large numbers of conversations, polls within chats, chat translation, secret chats with full end-to-end encryption, and live avatars — animated profile images that replace static photos.
The pricing model introduced at the August 31st conference remains in place: $5 per month or $50 per year at standard pricing, with a special early subscriber rate of $3 per month or $25 per year for investors and long-term community members during the initial launch period. The price will increase over time as the package expands.
Subscribing at launch matters. The features available in Phase 1 are only the beginning. As Premium grows, it becomes more capable — and more expensive. Those who lock in a subscription early benefit from the lowest price for the most expanding product.
The Platform Economy and the New Economic Foundation
The broader strategic portion of the September 14th conference addressed the global context within which Gem Space is building — and why the timing is not incidental.
The world’s economic model is being restructured. The book referenced at the conference — The Great Reset by Anglo-American philosopher and political scientist — describes the shift from familiar economic structures to new platform-based models. What used to generate income in the old economy increasingly no longer does. A new foundation is being built around digital platforms, large language models, and the gig economy — the economy of monetizing one’s own knowledge, skills, intellect, and creativity.
What Gem Space has built is a place where people can participate in this new economy directly. Mini-app creators earn from their products. Channel owners monetize their audiences. AI assistants help people work faster and more efficiently. Freelancers and independent professionals can build, sell, and grow entirely within the ecosystem.
The most challenging period of this work — and the most invisible to the outside — is the legal, technical, and compliance infrastructure required to make monetization function across a world divided into different techno-economic zones. Payment integration with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and regional acquiring partners. Data security policy. GDPR compliance for European users. Operating within the legal frameworks of the United States, the European Union, and beyond. All of this work has been happening behind the scenes. What is becoming visible now is the output of that work.
The platform is politically neutral and strives to maintain balance across markets and regulatory environments. This is not incidental to the strategy — it is the strategy. In a world where many platforms are becoming associated with specific political or geographic blocs, neutrality and predictability become genuine competitive advantages.
The ultimate goal stated at the conference: concentrate resources on technological development, grow the user base organically, and generate cash flow within the ecosystem. The result will be a multiple increase in the platform’s value — occurring at a moment when many traditional assets, including gold, are increasingly volatile and unreliable as stores of value.
Class D Shares: Moving Fast
An important update on Class D share availability: 50,000 additional shares were added from the reserve allocation. Of those, 25,000 were sold within just ten days. The total pool available to retail investors is strictly limited and the pace of acquisition is accelerating.
All dividend income from monetization — from mini-app commissions, PayGem transactions, premium subscriptions, and AI tool revenue — goes exclusively to Class D shareholders. At the point of strategic sale, each Class D share converts to two Class A shares. These are the conditions, and the window to access them is narrowing.
Ambassador Program: Materials Available Now
The Ambassador Program website and digital ID cards are in final development and will be live within days. In the meantime, a dedicated channel has been launched containing all shareable materials for ambassadors — videos, presentations, and content that can be distributed to introduce the project to new audiences.
Photos and personal stories from ambassadors around the world are actively being collected to populate the ambassador website. If you are an ambassador — or want to become one — your story matters.
Coming Up
The next conference is a developer and product team briefing. Gem Premium launches September 29th. Mini-app payments enabling developer monetization are coming in October. The ecosystem is moving from construction to commerce.
