Backed by research.
Our HTW Berlin paper asks one question: can a moving machine settle a payment on-chain the moment it arrives?
- 8 s
- From delivery trigger to a confirmed Solana transaction. One indoor run, target 15 s.
- 30+
- Outdoor GPS test runs planned to prove it.
- 3
- Nodes in the next design: one fixed drop point and two mobile carriers.
- 165M
- Agent payments on the x402 protocol by April 2026. Machine payments are arriving.
The gap. No prior work combines a moving device with an on-chain payment that arrival triggers. The demo car proves delivery with a QR code. The research track tests GPS arrival.
- Indoor proof of concept
- Hardware redesign
- Outdoor GPS tests
