2.3 Web3 Layer
Web3 technologies provide the missing ingredient for robotics: decentralized trust. While AI gives robots intelligence and robotics provides action, blockchain enables automation of trust, payments, and reputation without intermediaries.
Detailed Discussion
Decentralized Agreements
Smart contracts allow job postings, bids, and payments to be managed automatically.
No single company controls outcomes, reducing bias and fraud.
Trustless Payments
Escrow ensures funds are locked before jobs begin.
Robots are paid only if verifiable proof is submitted (“no proof, no pay”).
Privacy with Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Instead of sharing raw data, robots provide cryptographic proofs of task completion.
Example: proving a drone flew within a corridor without revealing GPS trails.
Transparent Reputation
Robots and agents build trust scores based only on verified completions.
Prevents manipulation, fake reviews, or centralized censorship.
Why Web3 is Essential
Traditional Web2 systems cannot guarantee fairness without intermediaries.
Web3 makes trust, payments, and privacy protocol-native, removing the need to "trust the platform."
Web3 is not just an add-on; it is the core foundation that enables robotics to operate globally, fairly, and securely.
