Partnership Announcement: The Posemesh x Mindful Ocean Metaverse

We are proud to announce a partnership with Mindful Ocean Metaverse, a community NFT art project with a mission to save our oceans.

Today, 90% of marine species are at risk of extinction, while only 0.5% of the world population interacts with marine life in person. The vast majority of the rest just don’t care. Backed by industry titan Yat Siu, Mindful Ocean was founded on the belief that we can cultivate more empathy towards marine life through art.

Using our Posemesh SDK, they have developed an AR metaverse app that brings the beauty and fragility of our oceans to life in a way that’s accessible to the masses, wherever they are. Through this immersive experience, users can create, interact with, and learn about marine life and ecosystems, all while contributing to real-world conservation efforts.

Marine conservation is a cause that many of us at Auki Labs and The Posemesh are also passionate about, so we couldn’t be more thrilled to see our tech being used for this mission.

Join us in making waves

We invite you to dive into the Mindful Ocean Metaverse by participating in their open beta and art contest, which begins tomorrow, March 22nd, World Water Day.

This very first open beta event celebrates the diversity of butterflyfish. Here’s the gist of it:

  1. Download the Mindful Ocean Metaverse iOS app (you will also need TestFlight in order to install the beta app since it’s not live in the official App Store yet)
  2. Design and submit your unique butterflyfish in their app
  3. Interact with your butterflyfish in AR using hand gestures (this is not part of the contest, but it’s the posemesh-powered part of the app, so we hope you try it out!)
  4. Create a mint pass (on Polygon) at mindful-ocean.org with your submitted artwork
  5. Winners will be chosen by their AI algorithm, which determines the rarity and uniqueness of each piece of artwork. So be creative!
  6. Four winners will receive prizes in the form of Amazon gift cards.

For more details, please see the event page, follow @MindfulOceanNFT, and join their Discord server.

About the posemesh

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.
