Example Use Cases & Strategic Pilots

Examples of how the marketplace will work in action include:

a. Drone Surveillance Marketplace

• Security company posts job: “Surveil warehouse perimeter from 12–2 AM.”

• Idle Vault matches with drones parked nearby.

• Drones activate, run task, upload proofs.

• Payment auto-released from escrow.

• Drone owner earns $10 worth of tokens → compounded into ETH yield.

b. Agricultural Robot Marketplace

• Farmer has weeding robots idle at night.

• Marketplace posts “process crop health data from satellite images.”

• Robots run AI model locally, submit proof.

• Farmer earns yield from idle time.

To validate the marketplace initially, Idle Network will focus on 3 pilot programs:

• Pilot 1: Drones in agriculture (crop health analysis).

• Pilot 2: Warehouse AGVs for off-shift anomaly detection.

• Pilot 3: Security drones for nighttime patrols.

All feed into Idle MetaVaults for yield compounding.
