5.1 High-Level Architecture

Roborus is designed as a modular Web3-native platform that combines smart contracts, off-chain services, developer SDKs, and advanced privacy layers into a seamless system. Each layer plays a critical role in enabling private, trustless, and automated robotics task execution.

At a high level, the Roborus architecture consists of:

• On-Chain Layer: A suite of smart contracts governing payments, identity, reputation, and zero-knowledge proof verification.

• Off-Chain Services: APIs, verifiers, and indexing systems to coordinate jobs, validate proofs, and manage encrypted data.

• Privacy Layer: Encryption, ZKPs, and token-gated access ensuring sensitive data never leaks.

• Developer SDKs: Toolkits for clients, agents, and developers to easily integrate with the Roborus ecosystem.

• Data Flow Pipeline: A structured lifecycle where jobs move from creation → encryption → matching → execution → proof submission → payment.

Together, these layers form a hybrid architecture, balancing the immutability and trustlessness of blockchain with the scalability of off-chain infrastructure.
