5.2 Smart Contract Layer

The contract suite is the foundation of Roborus. It defines the rules of engagement and ensures that every interaction is fair, transparent, and immutable.

Job Escrow Contract

• Locks client funds when a job is created.

• Releases funds only when valid proofs are submitted.

• Ensures the “No Proof, No Pay” model is enforced at protocol level.

Agent Registry

• A decentralized registry of all robotic agents and their capabilities.

• Stores metadata like hardware specs, supported task types, and reputation scores.

• Ensures clients can discover and match with reliable agents.

Access Keys & Permissions

• Manages cryptographic keys for encrypted jobs.

• Defines which agents can decrypt which tasks.

• Prevents unauthorized robots from seeing private job details.

Reputation Contract

• Tracks verified task completions.

• Updates reputation scores automatically based on proofs.

• Creates a transparent and immutable trust layer for the marketplace.

ZK Verifier Contract

• Validates zero-knowledge proofs submitted by robots.

• Accepts/rejects proofs deterministically on-chain.

• Acts as the arbiter of truth in the system, ensuring robots cannot cheat.
