Project Description

HumanOS revolutionizes the $38B humanoid robotics industry by solving the critical training data bottleneck through tokenized human actions. The platform creates a decentralized marketplace where users upload POV videos of daily actions (opening bottles, using computers, etc.) and receive tradeable ERC20 tokens in return.

Companies fund action-specific pools and purchase these tokens to access training videos for their robots. The innovative economics create a deflationary model—when companies burn tokens for data access, the remaining token supply decreases, increasing value for holders. This creates passive income for creators while providing robotics companies with 90% cost reduction ($48/hour → $1–5/video) and 1000x more diverse data than traditional motion capture.

The platform features:

  • Automated price discovery (Uniswap integration)
  • AI-powered action classification (LLama Vision API)
  • Quality assurance via staking (10 USDC per submission)
  • Multi-network deployment (Flow EVM, Hedera, Zircuit testnets)
  • Decentralized video storage (Walrus integration)

How it's Made

Smart Contract Architecture

  • Solidity + Hardhat: Core protocol (HumanOS.sol) + ERC20 tokens (ActionToken.sol)
  • OpenZeppelin: Reentrancy protection, access control, token standards
  • Uniswap V2: AMM-based price discovery with factory/router pattern
  • Multi-network deployment: Hedera Testnet, Zircuit Testnet

Frontend Stack

  • React + TypeScript + Vite: Modern, type-safe web app
  • Tailwind CSS + Shadcn/ui: Responsive design system
  • Wagmi + Privy: Wallet + social login integration
  • React Router: Navigation for creators, companies, and admin

AI & Data Processing

  • Llama Vision API: 56–73% accuracy in action classification
  • Walrus: Decentralized, censorship-resistant video storage
  • @xenova/transformers: Client-side video analysis

Key Innovations

  • Tokenized Data Ownership: Videos mint ERC20 tokens as data shares
  • Deflationary Economics: Token burning raises remaining value
  • Optimistic Submission: 24-hour challenge window with auto-approval
  • Economic Security: USDC staking prevents spam submissions

Notable / Hacky Aspects

  • Custom token minting tied to video verification (“data-to-token” pipeline)
  • Real-time price discovery via Uniswap integration
  • Cross-chain compatibility through multi-network deployment
  • Market-driven game theory balancing robotics demand and data supply
