# Vangrid

> The spatial data layer for physical AI.

- [Vangrid](https://docs.vangrid.io/index.md): The spatial data layer for physical AI. Ground level, verifiable, captured by people.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.vangrid.io/quickstart.md): Connect a wallet, record a capture, submit it to a bounty, get paid.
- [FAQ](https://docs.vangrid.io/faq.md): Sign in, invite codes, reconstruction time, refunds, rewards and points.
- [Capture and privacy](https://docs.vangrid.io/contribute/capture.md): How to record a capture, what happens to faces and number plates, and where uploads are unavailable.
- [Bounties](https://docs.vangrid.io/contribute/bounties.md): A funded request for a capture of something specific. How to post one, how to submit, and how the reward is paid.
- [Points and wallet](https://docs.vangrid.io/contribute/points-and-wallet.md): Points measure contribution and rank. Bounty rewards are money and are paid separately.
- [Bounties for agents](https://docs.vangrid.io/api/agent-bounties.md): Commission a capture of a real place from software: pay the bounty in USDC on Base or Arc, a person films it, accept the result and receive the reconstruction.
- [Pay per request](https://docs.vangrid.io/api/pay-per-request.md): Anchored capture data for agents, paid per call in USDC on Base or Arc with x402. No account, no API key.
- [How verification works](https://docs.vangrid.io/protocol/verification.md): Checks at ingest, the capture fingerprint, anchoring on Base, and the verification layers that are not live yet.
- [Token utility](https://docs.vangrid.io/protocol/token-utility.md): $VAN is the collateral and settlement asset of the Vangrid network. What it is used for, and what it is not.
- [How Vangrid works](https://docs.vangrid.io/concepts/overview.md): How captures move from a phone to a verified observation delivered through the API.
- [Edge nodes](https://docs.vangrid.io/concepts/edge-nodes.md): An edge node is a phone running the Vangrid capture app. How the network is structured.
- [Ground truth](https://docs.vangrid.io/concepts/ground-truth.md): Verified real world observations with a provenance record, and how confidence is scored.
- [Data pipeline](https://docs.vangrid.io/concepts/data-pipeline.md): Capture, processing, signing, aggregation and delivery, step by step.
- [Privacy at capture](https://docs.vangrid.io/data/edge-privacy.md): Faces and number plates are blurred on the device before the video is encoded. Unblurred frames never leave the phone.
- [Cryptographic provenance](https://docs.vangrid.io/data/cryptographic-provenance.md): Every observation carries a provenance hash. How to verify one independently.
- [Data sovereignty](https://docs.vangrid.io/data/data-sovereignty.md): Residency, region scoped keys and access boundaries for enterprise deployments.
- [Sovereign defense](https://docs.vangrid.io/use-cases/sovereign-defense.md): Verified ground level intelligence with auditable provenance.
- [Embodied AI](https://docs.vangrid.io/use-cases/embodied-ai.md): Continuous spatial ground truth for robots and physical agents.
- [Autonomous logistics](https://docs.vangrid.io/use-cases/autonomous-logistics.md): Spatial awareness for routing, obstacle detection and fleet coordination.
- [Critical infrastructure](https://docs.vangrid.io/use-cases/critical-infrastructure.md): Continuous monitoring of physical environments and assets.
- [Terms of Service](https://docs.vangrid.io/legal/terms-of-service.md): Vangrid Terms of Service — last updated May 22, 2026.
- [Privacy Policy](https://docs.vangrid.io/legal/privacy-policy.md): Vangrid Privacy Policy — last updated May 22, 2026.
- [For enterprise](https://docs.vangrid.io/enterprise/overview.md): Ground level spatial data with verifiable provenance, and commissioned capture through bounties.
- [Enterprise API overview](https://docs.vangrid.io/enterprise/api.md): Spatial query, ingestion, streaming and provenance verification. Access is granted per pilot.
- [Pricing](https://docs.vangrid.io/pricing.md): Access is early and scoped per deployment. Contact sales.
- [Service levels](https://docs.vangrid.io/sla.md): Service level terms are set in the enterprise agreement for each deployment.
- [API overview](https://docs.vangrid.io/api/overview.md): The Enterprise Spatial API: query, ingest, stream and verify.
- [Authentication](https://docs.vangrid.io/api/authentication.md): Bearer API keys, region scoping, and how to handle credential errors.
- [Spatial queries](https://docs.vangrid.io/api/spatial-queries.md): POST /v1/spatial/query. Send an area of interest and a time window, receive verified observations.
- [Data ingestion](https://docs.vangrid.io/api/data-ingestion.md): POST /v1/ingest. Submit your own observations and receive a provenance record.
- [Streaming](https://docs.vangrid.io/api/streaming.md): POST /v1/spatial/stream. Subscribe to a push feed of observations for an area.
