4.4 Automated Payments

Roborus integrates on-chain escrow contracts that automate payments, ensuring fairness for all parties.

• Job Escrow Contract: When a client creates a job, funds are locked in escrow before work begins.

• Automated Release: Once the robot submits valid proofs, the contract releases payment instantly.

• Reputation Update: Each verified job updates the agent’s reputation score, recorded immutably on-chain.

• No Middlemen: There is no central operator holding payments, reducing fraud, bias, or manipulation.

This financial automation creates a trustless economic layer for robotics: clients never overpay, and robots are always rewarded fairly for verified work.
