At the recent World of Web3 Summit in Hong Kong, Auki Labs founder and visionary mind behind the posemesh, Nils Pihl, gave the keynote address in which he spoke about Satoshi’s legacy. Spoiler alert: it’s not Bitcoin.
His prediction: in 2124, what humans will remember Satoshi for is giving AI and AI agents a sense of space. In the future, the advent of multiple AI agents (including self-driving cars, delivery drones, humanoid robots, AI companions, etc.) means that the number of decision-makers on Earth will grow exponentially, as will the number of nano-transactions. What we need is Spatial AI.
Crucially, our current physical infrastructure is already struggling to help humans and their devices navigate, especially in the biggest urban settlements on Earth. Our devices at present rely on GPS but this line-of-sight technology depends upon us being able to be seen by a satellite from the sky. This becomes much more difficult as the number and density of high rises and skyscrapers increase.
This is a common problem in the Greater Bay Area (the largest urban area in the world) and New York City, where GPS struggles to ‘know’ where you are from the sky. As AI decision-makers increase, we need a better way to help them have a sense of physical space, especially as urban settlement density increases. For example, AI robots need spatial semantic reasoning to be able to navigate complex spaces and answer questions about the physical world.
Now is the transition where digital information is beginning to live in our physical space and interact with the real world. We are at the dawn of the spatial internet however, our devices like your iPhone and robots have limited spatial awareness or inherent ability to interpret the real world. This makes spatial navigation increasingly difficult.
But what comes next after GPS? The answer is DePIN or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks at civilization-scale for AI, which will be funded, owned and operated by the people, not by corporations or governments. The most important DePIN will be the decentralized AI perception network. This network of devices and sensors will allow us to exchange spatial data and value with each other collaboratively without compromising autonomy or privacy.
The posemesh is a tool for human empowerment and a harbinger of a future where AR and spatial computing enable billions of AI transactions. It solves the Spatial AI problem, reducing CPU requirements, and will enable billions of AI decision-makers and transactions for the spatial internet. The posemesh is the DePIN for AI perception and it’s already live.
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.
