Introduction
Robotic labor is fragmented across proprietary silos. Many fleets are underutilized because markets cannot price, discover, verify, and settle small units of physical work. Payment flows are bilateral, audit trails are weak, and proof of completion depends on trust rather than verification. Morph proposes a neutral, on-chain settlement layer for robot work. Job posters escrow MORPH, robots accept tasks and produce PoPW evidence, independent oracles attest quality, watchers can challenge, and the settlement contract pays or slashes. Reputation and staking align incentives and gate access to higher-value tasks. The system is designed to be cloud native but chain-secured: artifacts live off-chain; on-chain commitments and events enable auditability and final settlement.
Design goals:
Verifiability: Deterministic evidence schemas and public verifiers.
Adversarial robustness: Anti-spoofing, challenges, slashing
Simplicity: Minimal on-chain data; narrow interfaces.
Composability: Use standard ERC–20, DID, and oracle patterns.
Privacy: Commitments on-chain, controlled disclosure off-chain
