Auki / Posemesh

Why Auki is an explainer page, not an earnings calculator. Last verified 2026-05-21.

TL;DR

Auki Labs builds the posemesh — a decentralized machine-perception network (DePAI). AUKI is live (~$42M mcap) on Base, bridged to peaq (AUKI/PEAQ on MachineX) → affiliated. But retail earning is opaque: a burn-mint economy where operators stake AUKI to serve (demand-driven, dollar-denominated access fees), plus data-labeling and airdrops — with no published per-node retail rate. A USD calculator would fabricate numbers, so we ship an explainer + live price instead.

Chain & status (verified)

• AUKI: ERC-20 on Base (TGE Aug 28, Uniswap AUKI/ETH), bridged to peaq (MachineX). ~$0.0109, mcap ~$42M, circ ~3.87B, ATH $0.06. LIVE → affiliated.
• Network: 700+ posemesh domains, 300+ DePIN servers, 450+ SDK devs; 500 grocery robots planned 2026.

How earning works (verified)

• Burn-mint: users burn AUKI for network access (priced in $); slightly fewer tokens minted to reward operators.
• Operator staking: run a posemesh domain / DePIN / Relay Server, stake AUKI, earn from access fees (demand-driven).
• Data labeling (scan shelves + annotate) + airdrops.

Why no calculator (constraint #12)

No per-domain / per-server / per-hour retail rate is published; operator rewards are demand-driven and ROI is staking-/setup-specific. Inventing a rate would violate the "no fabricated numbers" rule. We show what it is, how it earns, and the live token — and will add a calculator if a retail rate is ever published.

Confidence rating

🟡 (explainer) — token live and the model is well-sourced, but retail earning is opaque, so no earnings figure is shown.
