3.5 Monetization Barriers

Robotics and AI assets have immense value, but most remain underutilized due to lack of monetization channels. Robot owners often invest heavily in hardware like drones, delivery bots, or agricultural machines, yet these devices sit idle when not in direct use. There is no simple mechanism for renting them out securely to perform tasks for others.

Similarly, individuals with powerful computers or spare internet bandwidth have no pathway to contribute resources to AI or robotic tasks in exchange for rewards. Developers who create robotics algorithms or AI models must go through centralized app stores or corporate partnerships, often surrendering most of the revenue.

This absence of monetization limits participation to only those who can directly profit from their own deployments. A global robotics economy cannot thrive if its assets, hardware, compute, and algorithms, remain locked away from wider use.
