Konnex
Konnex is building a decentralized market and coordination layer that turns robot labor into on-chain liquidity. It lets autonomous systems (robots, drones, rovers) contract with each other, license verified AI intelligence, and settle payments in stablecoins, with independent validators turning sensor evidence into audit-grade proof-of-physical-work receipts. Its target users are robotics and AI companies, drone fleet operators, agricultural automation firms, and logistics operators seeking verifiable, automated payment settlement for physical work.

Description
Konnex describes itself as a neutral market and 'court' for physical work, addressing the lack of institutional trust and shared coordination protocols among autonomous systems. Its core technology includes a Universal Task Language (a JSON-based grammar enabling any robot or AI to communicate and cooperate) and a Proof-of-Physical-Work system, where independent validators convert sensor evidence into audit-grade receipts that automatically unlock stablecoin payments once outcomes are verified. The platform also enables Market-Priced AI Intelligence, where validators compete on measurable KPIs, top performers are deployed, and reputation and royalties compound over time in stablecoins. Use cases highlighted include decentralized logistics (drones and rovers coordinating deliveries with proof-confirmed, stablecoin-settled payments), robo-kitchen automation (robot arms licensing recipe-to-motion intelligence per job with escrow unlocked by verified temperature/torque data), and responsive agriculture (planters, monitors, and harvesters sharing verified field data with models earning based on accuracy). The team is composed of 15+ experts in robotics, AI, and Web3, led by CEO Jon Ollwerther (serial robotics CEO with multiple drone-sector exits), with Brandon Torres Declet (CEO of Exyn Technologies) as investor and Lucas Van Oostrum (co-founder of Nova Sky Stories, RoboValley Fund) as advisor.Grant Funding
