In our previous exploration of the posemesh, we discussed its role in granting artificial intelligence (AI) spatial awareness, enabling it to interact seamlessly with the physical world. However, for AI to truly integrate into our environment, it requires robust infrastructure. This infrastructure is the bedrock upon which the future of spatial computing is built. It's what allows AI to not only understand space but also navigate and operate within it.
In this article, we delve deeper into the critical importance of infrastructure in the realm of AI and its applications and how Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) provide this essential layer for building applications that respect our privacy and autonomy while incentivizing participation.
Currently, centralized physical positioning infrastructure relies on mobile phones to approximate your location; think Apple/Google Maps. The current limitations posed by centralized physical infrastructure are well documented; even with the advent of 5G, we still rely on GPS for positioning and to create imperfect shared AR experiences using devices.
To imbue AI with spatial awareness, we must construct a solid infrastructure that supports the vast and complex data exchanges required between devices for such technology to function and to share experiences. The concept of 'pose'—an accurate 3D position and rotation in a shared coordinate system—allows devices to understand their location and orientation in space without compromising user privacy or giving away their visual position. It also makes shared AI/AR experiences possible for the first time.
The posemesh is designed to ensure that spatial data is exchanged efficiently and securely. By being decentralized, no single entity has control over the entire network, thus limiting the potential for data misuse or surveillance. The posemesh is a universal, privacy-preserving decentralized spatial computing protocol that is essential for next-generation AI applications to engage with humans in the real world.
Most DePIN networks use a token economy model to incentivize users to provide physical infrastructure resources rather than relying on centralized legacy systems. This decentralized model addresses single points of failure and monopolistic entity structures; thus fostering a more robust and adaptable infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps). These reward mechanisms ensure that participants are compensated for their contributions to the network, whether it's through running nodes, providing data, or enhancing the network's capabilities.
Applications running on these networks often demand significant computing power, storage, or bandwidth. DePINs provide a decentralized network of resources that developers can tap into, offering improved resource availability and opportunities. DePIN provides this infrastructure layer, enabling the creation of networks and applications that are both resilient and scalable.
Through its token economy, the posemesh empowers individuals and prevents the monopolization of services and data. DePIN's network effects are profound, with each new node adding value to the entire system. By covering every continent, the posemesh's global reach ensures that no matter where you are, you have access to a spatial computing infrastructure that is both collaborative and privacy-preserving.
The combination of on-chain security and the incentive structure of the posemesh’ burn-credit-mint token economy creates powerful network effects. These effects are crucial for the widespread adoption and sustainability of DePIN, as they encourage a growing number of participants to run nodes, contributing to the network's expansion and long-term security through participation.
We've examined the indispensable role of infrastructure in enabling AI to gain spatial awareness and interact with the physical world. DePIN provides the necessary foundation for this interaction, leveraging decentralization to ensure privacy and scalability. The network effects generated by DePIN's incentive structure are critical for its growth and the democratization of spatial computing now and in the future.
For spatial computing, it is essential to participate, innovate, and contribute to a network that values privacy, decentralization, and collaboration. The future of spatial computing is not just about how the technology works; it's about building a community and an ecosystem that supports collaboration between AI and humans.
Embrace this future by joining the posemesh network, and help shape a world where digital and physical realities converge seamlessly.
Auki is building the posemesh, a decentralized machine perception network for the next 100 billion people, devices and AI on Earth and beyond. The posemesh is 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 Posemesh is an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based spatial computing network.
The Posemesh is 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. The posemesh is the next step in the decentralization movement, responding as an antidote to the growing power of big tech.
The Posemesh has tasked Auki Labs with developing the software infrastructure of the posemesh.
