Keeping 3D maps updated is becoming increasingly important as the world around us continues to change. That’s one reason @vangrid_io caught my attention. It allows people to capture real-world locations using their smartphones and turn those recordings into useful 3D models. Privacy is built into the process. Faces and license plates are removed on-device before uploads. Each capture is fingerprinted, grouped into batches, and anchored on Base or Arc. Buyers fund requests with USDC, review the submitted work, and release payment once it’s approved and the model is delivered. A practical way to bring fresh ground-level data into the growing world of robotics.
