Smart Contracts

The Heart of the Marketplace

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

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

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

• Escrow Contracts: Customers deposit payment tokens into escrow. Once the robot completes the proof-of-work/task, the escrow releases the 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: Manages escrow, milestones, and proof submission.

• Vault Contract: Auto-compounds earnings.
