May has kicked off with a bang, marking an exciting period for all of us here at Auki. Our latest community update covered impressive tech advancements, meaningful partnerships, and opportunities for you to earn rewards. Let’s dive into the highlights!
One of the most exciting developments is our collaboration with Mentra on programmable smart glasses. These glasses can now send live visual data to the Auki network to instantly determine their spatial position.
In a live demo this week, Mentra co-founder Alex Israelov pressed a button to capture a photo with the glasses, immediately pinpointing his location through the Auki network. As Nils put it, this was an "engineering triumph," opening countless possibilities for spatial computing applications.
We've reached exciting milestones in robotics, demonstrating real-time remote tracking of robots within Auki domains. Notably, Terri, our humanoid resources intern, now streams audio via WebSocket directly through its built-in speaker, allowing its "personality" software to run remotely. This advancement follows Terri’s public debut at various events, including the ESG Xchange conference hosted in partnership with the United Nations.
Our commercial navigation solution, Gotu, achieved a significant breakthrough. Jason, the lead developer, successfully demonstrated creating a Gotu navigable domain from scratch, a task previously handled internally.
We also previewed app-free McKenna, launching in June at AWE. With this, users can effortlessly showcase AR art or NFTs in physical spaces without needing an app download. Domain owners will earn substantial token rewards by inviting visitors, making it attractive and accessible for early adopters.
Our retail analytics application, Cactus, produced striking results at a major store. Detailed spatial mapping uncovered surprising revenue insights, such as higher revenue from shelves not directly facing store entrances, and significant sales from overlooked items like branded plastic bags. These spatial insights empower retailers to optimize shelf arrangements strategically, directly enhancing profits.
New rollouts continue, with partnerships expanding in both the U.S. (including two Fortune 500 companies) and Indonesia.
We're nominated for several Auggies awards, the prestigious ceremony at AWE, the world’s largest AR and spatial computing conference. Every community vote counts—help us win by voting online and spreading the word!
To incentivize our rapid rollout and adoption of domains, we’re launching substantial token rewards. Domain owners and node runners hosting these domains can earn tokens based on visitor traffic, participation in AR activities like Floorcraft, or using third-party apps built on the Auki Network.
Additionally, expect significant token burns from our ecosystem partners Axar Robotics, Mentra, and Alpha AI, aligning success in solving billion-dollar problems with consistent token deflation.
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.
