#Robots can deliver parcels. They can't get paid.
On November 5th I got 5 minutes on stage at ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ป #๐ฎ to show how I'm fixing that.
RoboPay: the customer pays into a @solana escrow. The money is only released when the robot signs its own proof of delivery. No proof, no payout, automatic refund if the robot never shows up.
Each robot has its own identity as a Machine #NFT on @peaq. If the robot is sold, the next delivery automatically pays the new owner. The income follows the NFT.
RoboPay is the working name for an idea I first published as a whitepaper in August 2025: https://t.co/xXlzhD8o6j
The name may change, the idea won't.
The second half of the talk was about how I build it: my AI Council.
โ #Claude Opus plans, reviews and writes the money and security code
โ #Codex, #Grok, #haiku and #Sonnet do the cheaper bulk work
โ Every fix or trick goes into a shared knowledge base, so the team gets better with every task
โ I watch it live in a 3D dashboard and can steer it with hand gestures
The day before the event, I used this setup to rebuild RoboPay from scratch.
People asked for the repo, so here's the public version:

Big thanks to ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ and ๐๐ ๐๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ป, especially ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฒ๐น ๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ, for the stage and an evening full of builders. Thanks to @nebiusai for co-hosting, and to @circuit_ber for providing the venue.

2013: @elonmusk designs @SpaceX rocket parts with his bare hands in mid-air, tracked by a Leap Motion.
2026: I fly through my AI agent council the same way โ with nothing but a laptop webcam.
@grok how close did I get?
I started with a drone-delivery whitepaper in summer 2025. Then I read German drone law. Flying over houses needs permits before you even get to test. So the first robot I built drives instead of flies: a small delivery car. @R0boPay grew from there, one working step at a time. #Robotics
The Machine Economy needs payment rails, credit, spend controls and trustless escrow
The peaq track winners at the Crypto Worldโs Fair Hackathon built all four
Huge congrats to every team ๐ค
When a robot finishes a delivery, payout follows its owner. On @solana devnet, the buyer locks payment in escrow. The robot confirms by QR code, and escrow pays whoever holds its machine NFT on @peaq. Sold it this morning? Then who should the next delivery pay? #DePIN#Robotics
A delivery car is one of the machines in this picture. Whether someone steers it or it drives on its own, it needs a private line to the network: encrypted M2M tunnels by @Staex_io . The buyer's payment waits in a @solana escrow until the delivery is done. #M2M#DePIN

๐ฅ @R0boPay - the payment layer for machines and AI agents in the physical world
๐ฅ FieldProof by @excelhtf - lets software pay device operators for fresh physical checks
๐ฅ Fiducia - controls how AI agents and machines spend money
4th SKIM - lets a machine borrow against its own income
