What is Vangrid

Physical AI needs to know what the world actually looks like from the ground. Satellites see roofs. Mapping fleets see roads they can drive. Neither sees a stairwell, a loading bay, a market street, or the inside of a warehouse.

Vangrid collects that view. Contributors record short videos with an ordinary phone. Those videos are reconstructed into 3D models. Organisations that need something specific captured post a bounty, fund it, and contributors go and capture it.

Every capture is fingerprinted at the moment it is recorded: a hash of the content, a coarse location, a timestamp. Fingerprints are batched and their root is anchored on Base, which turns each one into something a buyer can check against a public ledger rather than against our word, and that is what makes crowd captured data usable for training and for procurement.
