# 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.
