**Hi, hope everything is well!**\
Since our last communication, we’ve been working diligently to advance both our product and community. I’d like to share some recent updates with you, and we’re very much looking forward to further discussions.\\

We have engaged in technical exchanges with several international automotive manufacturers and autonomous driving technology companies. They have shown strong interest in our HD Map and 3D data, resulting in the acquisition of 3 LOIs：

* From **Alibaba's Taobao And Tianmao Group**, we provided generated 3D data for training their models:

* We have also been in discussions with **Volkswagen and Daimle**r, and both have shown strong interest in our data. We expect to secure a testing contract after reaching the first 1 million kilometers.

* **User Acquisition**\
  Through our waitlist, we have successfully attracted over 200 initial test users. These users are located in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia and have extensive experience in Map-based DePIN projects.
* **Discord Development**\
  Within two weeks, we onboarded a significant number of early users to our Discord community. These users include early adopters, mods, and distributors from other map-based DePIN projects. We have established strong partnerships with the community and held our first AMA session.
* **Joint PR**\
  We released a strategic partnership statement with GEODNET and plan to conduct a joint AMA later this month. <https://x.com/GEODNET_/status/1821011979391418370>

* **Hardware Production (TarantulaX, AKA TX mini)**\
  We are currently in the process of producing the first batch of test devices. We expect to ship the first batch by the end of August, with global testing set to begin in mid-September. Testing is expected to be completed by the end of October, and depending on the progress, we plan to release city-level HD Map data at that time.
