The posemesh is designed to support the development of spatial intelligence within AI through the provisioning of global computing resources, all while assuring data and spatial privacy for network users.
Auki Labs, the team behind the universal spatial computing protocol the posemesh, has been quietly assembling the foundations for its forthcoming TGE for a number of months now. The recent launch of a Global Ambassador Program is one such effort.
Announced by the Posemesh Foundation in early May, the GAP’s mission is to recruit crypto enthusiasts and influencers to help spread the good word about the evolving decentralized machine perception network. Ambassadors get the chance to liaise with the Auki team and earn rewards for promoting the benefits of the posemesh through endeavors like hosting AMAs, creating custom content, and translating and sharing blog posts with their local network.
As with other blockchain-powered projects, rewards are dispensed in the protocol’s native token (AUKI), the quantity of which is determined by the amount of value generated by Ambassadors. Candidates also receive Auki Labs merchandise and early access to features.
The Purpose of The Posemesh
In addition to the Global Ambassador Program, the posemesh has recently announced a campaign on the loyalty quest platform Zealy. As with the GAP, the goal is to drive social engagement, with participants earning Zealy XP points for completing various tasks. While not explicitly stated, these points are believed to entitle users to an allocation of AUKI tokens.
All of which is to say that momentum is building as the posemesh looks towards its long-awaited TGE and, beyond that, its ambition to “establish a universal spatial computing protocol and associated utility token for the next 100 billion people, devices and AI on Earth and beyond.”
A decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) network, the posemesh is designed to support the development of spatial intelligence within AI through the provisioning of global computing resources, all while assuring data and spatial privacy for network users – be they human or machine. Auki Labs calls it “the DePIN for AI perception” and believes it will operate at the intersection of AI, AR, the metaverse, and smart cities.
Newcomers to the posemesh might wonder how exactly a spatial computing protocol can possibly “teach” AI spatial awareness, or indeed anything else. Effectively, the protocol manages to do so by providing a means by which digital devices can securely exchange spatio-semantic data and computing power. Machines and AI can then connect to the protocol, which enables them to perceive the meatspace environment they inhabit: a factory, a construction site, an aircraft hangar, whatever the case may be.
The AUKI utility token is at the heart of the vast posemesh ecosystem: developers initiate a burn-credit-mint process by purchasing a dollar-denominated amount of AUKI tokens and sending them to a burn contract. These credits serve as the currency for services within the posemesh, which can be consumed over time by the organization’s participants. In exchange for this action, these tokens are effectively removed from circulation, and the developer’s organization is provided with posemesh network credits.
The act of burning tokens triggers a deflationary mint. With each burn, an immediate mint goes into the reward pool. As credits are spent on services, the tokens from the reward pool are issued to supply-side providers (operators) who contribute their resources to the network. The more credits are consumed by developers, the more rewards are earned by the resource providers.
Clearly, AI – and solving the technology’s spatial limitations – is central to the premise of posemesh. But so are people. One use-case of the posemesh suggested by the developers is a posemesh domain-enabled AR Natural History Museum app that creates highly immersive interactive and educational experiences for tourists. Instead of wandering around glancing at text embossed on plaques in front of displays, visitors could point their devices at specific exhibits and interact with an LLM-powered hologram or see the exhibit ‘come to life’ in AR.
TGE Looms as Posemesh Picks Up Steam
The AUKI Token Generation Event has been scheduled for the last week of June, with an allocation of tokens expected to appear on select Web3 launchpads before then.
In the meantime, community members can apply to become an Ambassador, amass Zealy XP points, or acquaint themselves with tech that utilizes posemesh technology – and, thus, consumes Auki tokens – already in the wild, like Convergent, a spatial AI platform for the retail industry. Convergent is powered by the posemesh, with a focus on empowering retail employees with digital data anchored in physical space: inventory levels, digital post-it notes, etc.
With technology like Apple’s Vision Pro gradually blurring the distinction between the digital and physical worlds, Auki Labs seeks to embrace the possibilities on offer while preserving privacy, promoting productivity, and decentralizing power. It’s a noble aim. Now, let’s see if it can be achieved.
