Happy New Year NATIXIANs! We’re glad to share with you our first progress update for 2025. January was already a banger, and things will only get spicier from here. We’ve had a gigantic collaboration that opened up new use cases for us, burned more tokens, and extra DePIN on the side.
This month, we’ve also enjoyed the end-of-the-year summaries, and our community continues to grow at an insane pace. Let’s dive into the first update of the year:
The first growth spurt of the year is a nice boost, as we now number over 223K Drive& users, and this year, we’re expecting heavy traffic looking ahead. In total, the community covered over 131M KMs, as we continue mapping the world. Over 684M map data events were detected, quickly propelling us toward the billions.
We’ve already started the year with a groundbreaking partnership between NATIX and Over the Reality (OVER). Through this partnership, OVER is becoming more than a customer of NATIX data, as it enables us to reach physical AI faster than before by merging decentralized camera networks with cutting-edge spatial computing technology to redefine how autonomous systems perceive and navigate the physical world.
This means we’re opening up new use cases through this collaboration, using NATIX's extensive visual dataset combined with OVER’s advanced Gaussian Splatting real-time rendering engine and AI-powered Visual Positioning System (VPS) technologies to reconstruct a 3D representation of our world and lay the foundation for Physical AI — empowering autonomous vehicles, delivery robots, and AR/VR applications to understand and interact with their environments more intelligently than ever before.
January marked the end of Phase 1 of the VX360 pre-sale. Phase 1 sales exceeded our expectations, and we’ve had to remove the unit supply limit to accommodate the early birds. Phase 2 started on February 1st, but we’ve had a few more surprises coming.
We truly appreciate early supporters who share our vision and are willing to pre-order the device, so we decided to remove the unit supply limit in Phase 2 and maintain the lucrative price of $279.99. However, the $NATIX reward associated with pre-orders decreases from 200K to 100K $NATIX. Phase 2 ends in April, so grab your VX360 today and enjoy an estimated ROI for the device of 6 months.
We’ve issued the first burn of the year to close out 2024, and our fourth in total. This burn amounted to 32.6M $NATIX to wrap it up for the seasons, and the beginning of a record-breaking year for burns.
The total amount of $NATIX taken out of circulation via burns is over 110.4M. You can follow up on monthly-basis burns on our dedicated $NATIX token burning blog, where we post updates and share proof.
With the beginning of a new year, reports on the state of DePIN are published, and NATIX has been featured on several of them. According to Messari’s “State of DePIN 2024” NATIX is in the top 20 biggest networks, as we continue building the Internet of Cameras thanks to every single one of you.
January started with our partnership announcement with Charge, a DePIN building the largest decentralized charging infrastructure, by helping to map EV charging stations and earn credits for your contributions. Drive& users can find a boost to their sustainability journey.
We wrapped January up by partnering with WiFiMap, bringing internet access to you anywhere, anytime, with a discount for Drive& users on eSIMs, which are easy to install, offer high-speed internet in 150+ countries, and you earn cashback on eSIM purchases.
We’ve got big news coming for you this quarter as we’re finalizing some processes and deals. DePIN is expected to make waves this year and you can bet that we’ll be working to generate them.
