We're recently back from a packed trip to ETH Denver and San Francisco, bringing home exciting updates from key partnerships, breakthroughs in smart glasses, promising meetings with robotics giants, and interesting developments in our token economics. Here's a quick breakdown of what's been happening:
Our time at ETH Denver was incredibly productive, filled with meaningful conversations and new partnerships. After Denver, we spent valuable time in San Francisco with Mentra, creators of AugmentOS, the first smart glasses operating system with built-in posemesh support.
Mentra, founded by former Auki contributors Cayden and Alex, is gaining impressive traction:
An intriguing statistic emerged—15% of AugmentOS users wear their smart glasses for over eight hours daily, a massive leap forward in wearable tech adoption.
“In just the last few months, smart glasses have finally reached the critical 40-gram weight. The hardware is ready; the software is catching up quickly," Nils remarked.
We're excited to announce that one of China's leading robotics firms is visiting our office soon, hinting at potential significant collaborations. Robotics remains a key growth area, with Phil, our head of robotics, continuously receiving new partnership requests and hardware to explore.
This past week saw continued engagement with investors, ranging from individual high-net-worth enthusiasts to major investment funds. Our unique vision for decentralized machine perception is resonating strongly across the industry:
“It's exciting to see how our narrative and language around robotics and crypto is catching on,” Nils shared. "It's fantastic to watch other founders adopting terms we've introduced."
We recently recorded a podcast episode with Geodnet's Mike Horton, clarifying how Auki and Geodnet complement each other:
“Intercognitive's goal is to make the physical world accessible to AI. That remains our highest leverage aim.”
Token utility and economics remain a priority. Our updated token burn model charges differently based on data types used (e.g., RGB vs. pose updates). Anticipated burns could reach significant scale:
Exciting times continue as our office renovations conclude, welcoming more companies into the Level 10 Research Center. We eagerly anticipate furthering these exciting developments, deepening partnerships, and continuously innovating our technology.
Auki is building the Auki network, a decentralized machine perception network for the next 100 billion people, devices and AI on Earth and beyond. The Auki network is a posemesh, an external and collaborative sense of space that machines and AI can use to understand the physical world.
Our mission is to improve civilization’s intercognitive capacity; our ability to think, experience and solve problems together with each other and AI. The greatest way to extend human reach is to collaborate with others. We are building consciousness-expanding technology to reduce the friction of communication and bridge minds.

The Auki network is a posemesh: a decentralized machine perception network and collaborative spatial computing protocol, designed to allow digital devices to securely and privately exchange spatial data and computing power to form a shared understanding of the physical world.
The Auki network is an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based spatial computing network. Designed for a future where spatial computing is both collaborative and privacy-preserving, it limits any organization's surveillance capabilities and encourages sovereign ownership of private maps of personal and public spaces.
The decentralization also offers a competitive advantage, especially in shared spatial computing sessions, AR for example, where low latency is crucial.
