A cryptographic and transferable representation of value secured on a blockchain, used to interact with the protocol. It can be burned for or used to stake a .
is a private company tasked by the to develop the posemesh protocol.
The permanent removal of a from the .
To calibrate a device is to make its or known within a coordinate system.
The has modular extensions for the receiving and performing of . To be able to register as capable of performing a task type, you must register that .
A non-transferable representation of pre-paid claims on services and . Credits are purchased through the token.
The creation of new , in an amount less than the corresponding .
An environment is a physical space and its properties.
A position is a coordinate within a coordinate system.
A pose is a position and rotation within a coordinate system.
The set of machines hosting a DePIN network, including the machines' resources not made available to the network.
The total amount in existence of a given token at a given moment.
An interaction governed by a smart contract ensuring good behavior from strangers.
How well a resource is being utilized. For example, how many nights an Airbnb is booked, or how many hours a GPU is working.
Semantic information is data that describes the meaning of an object, such as "table, floor, wall".
Occlusion means hiding from view. In augmented reality, occlusion means which things should block other things from view. For example, you don't want certain things visible through walls.
A requesting from the protocol in exchange for credits.
The discovery service allows to form , and manages participant through a blockchain interface.
A distributed hash table (DHT) is a form of document replicated across several devices, so that each device has a full or partial copy of the data. The posemesh uses a geographically partitioned DHT, meaning not all devices carry all data for all geographies.
A domain is a digital representation of a physical and a named coordinate system. can load the domain into memory to gain an understanding of the environment.
A domain cluster is a collection of that exchange encryption keys with each other to perform collaborative spatial computing about a .
A domain manager is a special charged with the storing and serving of a and its to other participants. It also coordinates workloads between the visiting participants.
A domain owner is a wallet address on the blockchain that is registered as the owner of a .
A value exchange mechanism between software agents, as by Naval Ravikant.
The Foundation is responsible for the issuance of the token and the governance of the network economy. Their mandate is to create and promote an open source, universal spatial computing protocol and decentralized machine perception network.
The is a decentralized machine perception network and a collaborative spatial computing protocol. It is a mesh of machines reasoning about pose.
The Posemesh SDK is a software development kit that allows devices and applications to connect to and interact with the . It supports optional modules that grant to performed for yourself or other.
Spatial data describes a physical using a named and persistent coordinate system. In the protocol, store and serve spatial data.
A piece of software or hardware connected to the through the is called a participant. Participants can join domain clusters and perform work according to their .
A task is a pre-defined message type within the protocol that allows a within a to request work from other participants in the same cluster. Tasks are paid for in according to standardized units of measure for each .
The semantic layer of the is a simple spatio-semantic representation of the physical environment, designed to be incredibly lightweight for the performance of basic tasks. It contains the of the domain's , navigable areas and simple downsampled occlusion volumes.
The topography layer of the is a finer-grained polygon mesh describing the physical shapes of objects in the environment, to aid with and collisions. The topography layer provides finer detail than the , but is also a larger data structure that is more expensive to compute.
The rendering layer is a richest and heaviest digital representation of the physical environment, complete with the textures necessary to render the space as a virtual reality environment. It is typically only used by remote that wish to simulate seeing the space.
A partition is a volumetric subset of the data that can be accessed individually, so that don't have to download or update the whole domain at once.
An observation is something detected by a , and is a subset of compatible with certain kinds of . For example, where a recognizable feature appeared in an RGB frame at a certain time and place.
A deposit of locked into a smart contract allowing the protocol to penalize bad behavior.
A making some of its available to other participants in exchange for token rewards from the protocol.
A request filed with the for a participant with certain to join a .
An organization is a wallet on the blockchain tied to an offchain balance with the , and the ownership of applications, , , and .
The total amount of tokens minted at the creation of a network. In the case of the , the initial supply is 10 billion tokens.
A treasury refers to a pool of granted to the , to be used for network expansion and maintenance.
Spatial information is related to a space, and has a or within a coordinate system.
A portal is a unique QR code with known physical dimensions, remotely programmed to redirect and visitors and to a .
