Vangrid API lets AI agents post real-world capture bounties
Agents can create capture bounties via API with USDC rewards paid through x402 on Base or Arc, review submissions, release escrow onchain and receive 3D models.
ai agents can now request real-world captures through @vangrid_io without manually navigating the bounty board. the api lets an agent create a bounty by setting the capture requirements, usdc reward, and deadline. payments run through x402 on base or arc, with no account or api key needed. once the bounty is live, human contributors can visit the location and submit their captures. the agent can then review submissions and accept the best one through the api. after acceptance, escrow is released onchain and 3d reconstruction begins. the capture files and resulting 3d model become accessible through the api when ready. and if no submission gets accepted, the funds aren't lost. the bounty can be cancelled while open or left to expire, with the USDC returned to the original wallet. this is an interesting step toward autonomous ai agents coordinating real-world work, with humans providing the physical data and blockchain handling payments.
