Marketplace Layer

At the blockchain level, the marketplace manages task requests, robot supply, and pricing.

• Task Registry: Customers post tasks → “scan area with drone,” “inspect pipeline with robot camera,” “run anomaly detection on warehouse footage.”

• Matching Engine: Idle Network marketplace matches task requirements to available idle drones/robots.

• Escrow Contracts: Customers deposit payment tokens into escrow. Robot completes proof-of-work/task → escrow releases payment.

• Dynamic Pricing: Prices adjust by demand, similar to Uber surge pricing.

Key smart contracts:

• Registry Contract (stores available robots/drones with capabilities).

• Job Contract (escrow, milestones, proof submission).

• Vault Contract (auto-compounds earnings).
