Dear Community,
We are excited to share the latest PIX updates with all of you.
Please remember that it’s important to note that the power of PIX extends far beyond the Lampix use case. While Lampix will leverage the platform quite heavily and all Lampix progress is favorable to the PIX ecosystem, the utility of the PIX token extends far beyond the exchange of training data for Lampix. From self driving cars, to recognizing satellite images, and an infinite list of use cases not yet realized, as AI and image recognition continues to skyrocket as a field. We aim to ensure that PIX is accessible to all interested parties in its utility. That’s why we have introduced new branding for PIX and will continue to develop the PIX ecosystem marketing with content and assets to appeal to a wide audience.
In addition to PIX marketing, we continue to make progress to plan on the development of the platform code and the buy and sell side ecosystem in general:
THE MILESTONES —

Concurrently, other departments in the company are working diligently on supporting initiatives which keep the project and organization strong —
