LimeWire is an AI and Web3 content platform that relaunched the iconic peer-to-peer file-sharing brand as a creative community for AI-generated images, video, and audio. LimeWire's Twitter Score is 116 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of July 2026, ranking #6,478 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
LimeWire was co-founded by Julian Zehetmayr and Paul Zehetmayr, both serving as co-CEOs, with Marcus Feistl working at the company as COO. The modern platform emerged after the founders acquired the expired trademark and purchased LimeWire.com, then relaunched the brand as an NFT marketplace in 2022. By 2023, LimeWire had pivoted away from its NFT focus toward a broader creative community centered on AI-generated content. The original LimeWire peer-to-peer service had been ordered shut down by a U.S. federal court in October 2010, making the relaunch a full reinvention of the brand rather than a continuation of it. LimeWire was formerly affiliated with Lime Group LLC.
LimeWire acquired the AI generation tool BlueWillow, which had been used by 2.3 million users to create around 500 million images, expanding its AI content capabilities. LimeWire also acquired the Fyre Festival brand via an eBay auction for $245,300 after 175 bids, and holds affiliations with Maximum Effort and Dumbgood. The platform's native token, $LMWR, trades on exchanges including Kraken, Bybit, and KuCoin. LimeWire has 213,229 followers as of July 2026 on X and has published 20,066 posts. LimeWire has been mentioned by 307 accounts a total of 2,754 times.
