Introducing Ambient: The Environmental DePIN on Solana

Jupiter DAO LFG Introductions
163

We pushed a few silent updates yesterday, including test timers for after rating (currently set to 20min cool down that will be lowered after initial testing).

We also transitioned the referral system to a one with link so it is not about asking for emails anymore.

The devs are evaluating currently other POI services to provide more dense overlay of venues to rate.

It is a lot work in progress, but it really helps that so many dedicated users are actively using the app, so we can really understand where to put priorities to improve usability.

Development is pushing forward and the focus is on making the best landing on Solana.

Ambient Network moved TGE to start of October to align with Jupiters possible time line, fingers crossed!

2 month grind :rofl:

We will get there eventually, I mean in the end it is not about numbers only, I saw a lot of his high quality contributions like yours.

I really like the constancy in the Jupiter active users to really take part and deep dive into the whole ecosystem. It pretty much reflects everywhere, be it the forums here, the Discord but also the townhalls and the Youtube streams.

We are watching how the voting unfolds from the sidelines, really impressive how Jupiter takes DAO to the next level. The many articles and insights really show how transparent and credible such things are handled by the Jupiter team.

We are looking forward to be a part in this for the next round!

great use case for decentralization, as others have stated. Tons of customers in easily penetrable markets. FWIW, based on your recent post in Jup’s discord I was under the impression sensors were already available for purchase. Signed up for more info though!

My 2 cents on incentivizing DePIN p2e: hardware hits more frustrating hurdles than software, both pre and post-launch… don’t overpromise rewards and definitely don’t hide any fine print in p2e rewards. I went from bullish to perma-bearish on Hivemapper simply because 1) their firmware foot-dragging has left me with a brick, and 2) unbeknownst to me at the time of purchase, my free 2500 tokens are locked inside that brick. And here I am complaining about them publicly. So don’t be those guys - usage is the traction metric you want to brag about and pay for, not units sold.

Ah well, not that I am not experienced with HM, owning 14 cams myself. The main issue with such projects often is sustainability. HM rewards go down more and more and overall it turned from hype to refunds. That being said the first cams I had gave with the airdrop enough to get the full price back which was simply too good to be true and sustainable. One cam just got the drop only 3 weeks ago and it accounted only for 15% of that purchase while with the now low rewards I am looking at a 2 year ROI there.

I still have to say that their overall performance is still top 20% of last gens DePIN’s, so not like they deserve too much bad. Your case is not too common but I feel you, had similar experience with a project I will not name, which turned me sour while a friend earns good on it.

Ambient Network is built on the ashes of a different project, which of course puts it on far more pressure to perform, but also build upon prior experiences and a legacy network.

I would argue that our users are a special kind of veteran experienced well seasoned DePIN OG’s that will call out on any issues because they can not be played marked cards so to speak.

The very reason why currently sensors are NOT on sale, is because Ambient Network halted all sales on purpose, to not fish people with the carrot on the stick. First the migration and launch on Solana will be completed, TGE will happen early October and only then, when there is tangible proof of the reward model and ROI’s can be calculated, only then the sales will be opened again. For the start it will be only the 25k sensors from the precious IoT framework that run, partially to reward those pioneers but also to prove the value to potential new customers.

The positive thing is, we already know how these devices behave in the field, and in over 2 years, as a remark to your comment, ours never needed firmware updates or some app loading a double layer firmware package that could brick.

The only time you gonna need an app is when onboarding them, for 2 minutes, and that is it.
