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.

​
Two roles

Contributors

Record captures and fulfil bounties.

Requesters

Post and fund bounties, review submissions, accept one.

​
Where to start

Everything begins at app.vangrid.io, which has two doors: Capture Data for contributors, which opens the capture app at app.vangrid.io/capture, and Buy Data for organisations, which opens data.vangrid.io.

Start capturing

Connect a wallet, record your first capture, submit it to a bounty. Browser or Android.

Post a bounty

Commission a capture of a specific place.

How verification works

What proves a capture is real.

For enterprise

Data access, residency, and the spatial API.
