Vangrid lets agents post 3D data bounties via a single HTTP call
Vangrid lets agents post bounties, pay in USDC on Base and receive 3D reconstruction data through a single HTTP call, after passing 1M captures on Base in 60 days.
Been watching @vangrid_io this week, and one update actually stood out: They crossed 1M+ captures on Base in 60 days. The core idea is simple. Physical AI needs ground-level data. Satellites see roofs. Mapping fleets see roads they can drive. But they often miss stairwells, loading bays, market streets and warehouse interiors. Vangrid lets contributors record those places with an ordinary phone. The footage is reconstructed into 3D, each capture is fingerprinted, and the batch is anchored on Base. The workflow is straightforward: You choose a bounty, capture the requested location, submit the data and get paid if it is accepted. They also shipped an interesting update for autonomous agents. An agent can now post a bounty with a single HTTP call, fund it in USDC on Base and receive the reconstruction through the same API, without needing an additional account layer. The capture app and explorer are already live. $VAN is not live yet. Take a look for yourself: https://app.vangrid.io/ or on @NucleusCodes
