Mindful Ocean was one of the earliest builders on the Auki Network—they first started exploring our ConjureKit SDK back in December of 2021. 3 years, 2 SDK name changes (it’s now the Auki SDK), and 1 $AUKI token launch later, we’re thrilled to give them a grant to continue their mission!
It’s a mission to save our oceans by cultivating empathy towards marine life through art. With 90% of marine species at risk of extinction, the world is in dire need of more people who care. Only 0.5% of the world population interacts with marine life in person, and naturally those people tend to be more passionate than the rest about protecting our oceans. Mindful Ocean believes that allowing everyone else to interact with digital marine life is the next best thing, not to mention logistically much easier!
They launched the first version of their Auki-powered app last March, featuring the ability to turn any physical space into an immersive underwater experience complete with butterfly fish that users designed themselves and could interact with in AR via hand gestures. It was a fun experience that multiple people could share in real time thanks to their use of our relay server network.

Now they want to level up their AR experience by turning Auki domains into context-aware underwater metaverses that blend more seamlessly into the physical space. Users will be able to carry out missions, find hidden treasures in the sea, and more, all the while having fish that don’t swim through their furniture.
We are so excited to continue our support of Mindful Ocean’s mission with a 750,000 $AUKI token grant. A small portion has been released upfront, and more will be released upon successful completion of domain integration. Of course, part of every grant is burned for network credits to cover their usage of the Auki network, and this part has been burned already.
If you have your own ideas about cool AR and/or robotics applications to build on the Auki Network, don’t hesitate to get in touch and apply for a grant. Otherwise, stay tuned for updates on when you can turn your space into a Mindful Ocean Metaverse!
Mindful Ocean Metaverse is a community art project with a mission to save our ocean. They use blockchain, AI, and AR technology to empower anyone to take part in ocean conservation by making art. Their NFT art creation events nurture mindfulness and promote creativity, enabling anyone to easily create NFT artworks that simulate marine life in a co-created virtual space - the Mindful Ocean Metaverse. Their goals include encouraging more people to make art, exploring the use of Web3 for social changes, and supporting conservationists by cultivating empathy.

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.
