Maybe not everyone can collect real-world data at scale, but even if they could, it's not enough.
Raw data is a starting point. From there, it has to undergo many processes to be useful.
We offer both raw and structured data to support all kinds of Physical AI development.
📰 We're in the news.
@automotiveworld just covered Orbis 2!
The first hierarchical world model from the University of Freiburg, trained on NATIX's decentralized real-world data - the largest single source ever provided.

NATIX is at the center of some BIG moves in the autonomous driving world 🚗
From World Models to VLMs and End-to-End models, data is the key that binds them together.
It's only a matter of time before Physical AI takes over, and the ones building it are using NATIX data 💪
World Foundation Models (WFM) are the future of Physical AI, and we believe this future should be open-sourced.
We are partnering with @Valeo_Group to build one of the largest open-source, multi-camera WFMs — redefining how Physical AI interacts with the real world.

Back on X shenanigans after a truly remarkable month with the team at $NATIX. With that said, "Job's not finished. Job finished? I don't think so." - we're just getting started.
What've you been up to?
I have 2 of 6 of my @NATIXNetwork’s #VX360’s deployed. I’m waiting on fleet solutions do deploy the last 4. One month in and those two units have been rewarded over 280 usd in $NATIX :D yeah I’m happy.
Our DePIN network acts as the eyes 👁️, gathering vast amounts of data globally.
With our Bittensor subnet as the intelligence layer (the brain🧠), we're set to transform that raw data into powerful insights and deployable AI models!
You know what - call it whatever you want:
DePIN, DePAI, robotics, physical AI, the machine economy, it doesn’t really matter.
I don’t want to sound dramatic, but one thing seems pretty obvious by now:
The combined innovation of AI and machines will likely be the biggest economic shift in human history.
Just like the internet or smartphone eras, it’s hard to fully grasp the second- and third-order effects - not just economically, but in how we interact, behave, and function as a society.
And given how fast both sectors are accelerating, this shift might hit sooner than most people think.
Whether we like it or not, it’s an inevitable future - both frightening and exciting at the same time.
This is where crypto comes in.
On the frightening side:
Crypto gives me at least some hope that this future won’t be entirely owned and controlled by a handful of powerful players.
It gives people a fair shot to own a piece of it, to stay in control of their data, decisions, and even their machines.
On the exciting side:
I’m doing my best to get maximum exposure to the parts of this shift where crypto can actually play a foundational role - so I can participate and benefit from what may become one of the biggest value creation cycles of our lifetime.
And what excites me most?
Some of the best plays in this space are open and accessible to everyone, unlike private deals like Figure or Apptroniks that are reserved for institutions and whales.
A few standout projects I'm following that are building the Web3 x robotics / physical AI future:
@peaq – coordination layer for autonomous machines + foundation for Machine DeFi
@AukiNetwork – building the perception layer for machines
@xmaquinaDAO – decentralizing and democratizing access to robotics + physical AI hardware
@NATIXNetwork – crowdsourcing geospatial data via DePIN incentives
@geodnet – building the largest decentralized positioning network for machines
@reborn_agi – using DePIN to train humanoid robots with real-world data
@frodobots – gamifying real-world data collection via physical robots
Probably missing a few others, but this is a solid place to start exploring the Web3 x robotics movement.
Despite the #DePIN sector only being up 13,7% in the last 30 days, this sector is expected to have a market size of $3.5T by 2028.
Tracking: $ATH, $HEU, $PEAQ, $NATIX, $LMWR
What did I miss? 👇
Solana here talking directly about $NATIX & their latest partnership with GRAB, and explaining why this is bullish for the whole DePIN economy.
Specially in US & EU, where decentralization should be prioritized.
Maybe you have observed, many big companies are envying @NATIXNetwork ; you know with greater success, comes greater hate.
$TRUMP whales buying NATIX & many bullish news.
And you are still not bullish enough?
Happy that I believed in $NATIX, much more to come..
GG @0xAlbes, @AlirezaGhods2 & other $NATIX team 💯
📢 DEPIN MEETS SUPERIOR MAPPING TECHNOLOGY 📢
We’re excited to announce our collaboration with Grab, Southeast Asia’s leading super app, to reshape the mapping industry 🗺️
By joining forces, we’re making high-fidelity, freshly updated maps a global reality 💪
The team has been in contact with you both on Friday and today. Saying you only got a response from 27 days ago is simply incorrect sir.
We’ve been very transparent with everyone regarding why this is taking longer than we expected due to our team working 24/7 on delivering VX360, and we’ve promised you no later than this Friday that we’ll address your issue this coming week and compensate everyone that was affected wrongly.
Social spamming is not the way to deal with it, especially with a team that’s constantly giving you feedback 🙂
Fan of the decentralized real-world data space here, too.
And I want to add a few thoughts to what @broodsugar has said.
1. On GNSS/IMU:
Not all use cases require GNSS/IMU.
Valeo AI team built a world model from YouTube scraped video data only:
https://t.co/LppVkkBrw3
More importantly, time sync is the only real obstacle.
Our device has a GNSS module. Additionally, every mobile device already has GNSS and IMU, so this is absolutely solvable.
And increasingly trivial as hardware matures.
2. On Tesla:
Yes, they’re building a walled garden
But like Apple, Tesla's goal is ecosystem value, not scorched earth.
So it’s unlikely they’d prioritize setting a precedent by harassing relatively small companies building on top of their stack. Worst case, as Nils suggested, they’d pursue the data business themselves. If Elon wanted to shut this down, he’d have done it years ago. Check Mapillary, which was already doing this since 2020: https://t.co/XaNsGLAQPo
Even if they shut it down, there are other OEMs that VX360 can support. We will integrate one by one.
3. On passivity:
VX360 uploads over Wi-Fi once the car is parked. 100% passive!
~95% of our users park cars at home/work and have Wi-Fi - Hence seamless upload.
The remaining 5% experience a slightly less passive expreince (still fully usable) - that is why we put a super large storage (256 GB) which can hold 22h video from 4 cameras. As a normal commuter that is a week of driving and at the end you take the device home, just plug it into any USB port and it uploads 100% passively.
All in all, we believe the future is more model-first, and less map-first. HD maps are too expensive and are becoming harder to use. Tesla's approach is also mapless which naturally steers our product and design choices. So Nils once again is right on the moat we're digging.
I also think DePIN is still a small, emerging community.
Instead of throwing grenades at working products,
maybe we should do a better job lifting each other up.
At the end, regardless of what anybody thinks, VX360 data has enterprise customers from day 1. More on this soon! Best market validation.
Heads down building 👨💻
