Following on from our previous announcement that we are doubling down on Base with a launch on Aerodrome, we are delighted to announce that $AUKI/$AERO trading is live!!

This marks an exciting new chapter for our community, as we take a significant step toward expanding accessibility for our token.

Choosing Aerodrome as our third exchange is in line with our staggered launch strategy. tl;dr: We designed our token launch strategy to be as sustainable as possible by doing everything we could to prevent value extraction before adoption:

• No CEX on the first date. CEXes charge extortionate listing fees and often want a huge percentage of a project’s token supply on top of that. We launched on DEX first, then later on MEXC because they gave us very reasonable terms. In rejecting the much worse offers of other CEXes, not only did we save at least $200k that we’re now spending on building the project, we didn’t give any CEX the ability to dump the token on our community.
• Daily linear unlocks. All backers are on daily linear unlocks, meaning there are no major unlock events that VCs and whales can use to short the token and extract value from the community.
• Fair price launch. Unlike other projects that launch their tokens at FDVs that are many multiples of what their backers bought in at, we gave our community the chance to buy $AUKI at valuations that were very similar to what backers got. No VC is already in huge profit now while we are still bootstrapping adoption.

We believe these principles benefit our community and early adopters, who are at the core of our goal to build and deploy civilization-scale infrastructure funded, owned and operated by the people.

That’s why Jamie Burke from Outlier Ventures called us the best DePIN entry for retail:

But like any DePIN we are only as strong as our community.

Starting today, you can buy $AUKI directly on Aerodrome with $AERO. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or just discovering our project, this listing makes it easier than ever to join our mission and engage with the Auki network.

About Auki Labs

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.

About the Auki network

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.
