I refuse to evaluate decentralized physical infrastructure based on theoretical roadmap promises or marketing mockups. Too many protocols raise millions on hype and spend quarters failing to ship functional software. That is why I pay close attention to @vangrid_io : they are not an upcoming concept. Their web platform and Android applications have been live since July 2026, and their entire network throughput is verifiable on-chain. Looking at on-chain records, the network has already processed over 1,437,950 spatial captures anchored directly to Base. Furthermore, contributors have completed 1,140 commercial bounties, clearing nearly $727,000 in USDC through the protocol. I respect builders who deploy working products and clear verifiable activity before turning on the public spotlight. Transparent on-chain settlement is the ultimate proof of work.
