The 3D map robots need.
Too valuable for one company to own.
Delivery bots, humanoid robots, AR glasses. They all need centimeter-accurate 3D data. Others proved people will capture it for free. We think they should own it and get paid.
50,000+ people proved it works
Capturing 3D for the magic of it
Already proven
People will capture for free.They should get paid.
Scaniverse proved the model works. 50,000 people captured 3D scans with zero financial incentive. Just the magic of seeing their world in 3D. That built a $9 billion company.
But those 50,000 people? They own nothing. They earned nothing. The platform kept it all.
Capture for free, own nothing
Their model
Capture for free, own everything, get paid
Our model
March 2025
Niantic sold Pokemon GO for $3.5 billion. They kept Scaniverse.
They believe the 3D map is worth
Trillions
(it is)
We agree with their bet on the value of the map. We disagree on who should own it. The people who build it should.
Why this matters
AI is running out of training data. Robots have none.
The internet has been scraped dry. Every book, article, Reddit post. Consumed. But AI knows almost nothing about physical space. And the robots coming to navigate the real world? They have no 3D map.
The 3D map of the world is the training data.
It's not just a map for navigation. It's the dataset AI needs to understand physical reality. The dataset robots need to learn how to move through the world. And right now, it doesn't exist.
What exists today
2D maps show addresses
Streets and locations. No physical detail.
What mission planning needs
3D spatial understanding
Know the layout before you send the robot.
Mission planning before dispatch
Before you send a robot across town: Will it fit through the entrance? Are there stairs? What route through the building? You need to know before dispatch, not when it arrives.
AI training hits a wall
LLMs scraped text and images. But they have almost no 3D spatial data. That's why they fail at physical reasoning. The data doesn't exist.
Simulation needs real places
NVIDIA says simulation will replace real training "a million to one." But you need actual 3D environments to simulate in.
The 3D map of the world will be worth trillions.
Scale.ai doesn't build AI. They don't make robots. They provide training data. And they're worth tens of billions. 3D spatial data is the category that barely exists yet.
The real cost of "free"
They take your labor.Then your compute.
When Scaniverse processes on your phone, you provide the capture AND the processing power. They get both for free. And the quality? Capped at what a phone can handle.
With Stratis: Community-powered processing
Like Bitcoin mining, but useful work. You own it. You get paid.
Why the map matters
GPS for everywhere.Including indoors.
GPS tells you where you are within a few meters. But it doesn't work indoors, can't tell floors apart, and isn't accurate enough for robots.
The 3D map is the VPS infrastructure.
Every robot, every pair of AR glasses, every autonomous system queries the map. You own it. You get paid.
Quality matters
Real GPUs. Real quality.
Your phone balances processing with battery, heat, and other apps. Dedicated GPUs have one job: maximum quality.
Ownership
You build it. You own it.
Google, Niantic, NVIDIA ask you to contribute. None share ownership. With Stratis, your captures are yours. On-chain. Forever.
How it works
Capture. Claim. Earn.
Your phone is a $50,000+ 3D scanner. Cameras, GPS, LiDAR, accelerometers. We've unlocked that sensor array for 3D capture. Completely free. You own the claim.

Walk and capture
Cameras, LiDAR, GPS, motion, altitude. We use them all.
The result
3D data robots can use
Millions of points. Exact dimensions and layouts.
Who will pay for this data?
Any company that needs to plan missions, assess feasibility, or simulate deployments before sending robots. You can't dispatch a fleet to locations you know nothing about.
Every type of robot needs this
Different robots. Same problem. No pre-mission intel exists.
Factory humanoids
Pre-map facility layouts
Delivery robots
Plan routes before dispatch
Service robots
Know building layouts in advance
Warehouse systems
Simulate before deploying

The economics
Imagine if the community owned Scale.ai
Scale.ai is worth tens of billions. They just label training data. All that value goes to shareholders. What if that value went to the people who actually created the data?
The "creator economy" is a lie. Platforms keep most of the value.
On-chain attribution
Every capture is cryptographically attributed to you. Permanent. Verifiable. Yours.
Full portability
Export to Blender, Unity, Unreal. Any format, any time. Your data, your choice.
Revenue flows to you
When a robot uses your capture, when AI queries your data, you get paid.
Niantic kept this. Not Pokemon GO.
When Niantic sold Pokemon GO for $3.5 billion, they kept one thing: the 3D mapping technology. They believe the spatial map of the world will be worth trillions. More valuable than the biggest mobile game in history.
By 2030, millions of robots will navigate the physical world. The map will be crowdsourced. The only question is whether the people who build it will own what they create.
We're building the version where they do.
In 1995, you could register Insurance.com for about $10. Most people thought domains were worthless. It sold for $35.6 million.
Right now, the 3D map of the world is wide open. Places like Times Square, Shibuya Crossing, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House may still be available to capture.
The map that every robot will need. Unclaimed.
Start capturing today.
It's completely free.
Download the app. Walk around your neighborhood. Own a piece of the most important map that will ever be built. No fees. No catch. Just capture.
