🤖 EVA IONI: The robot that cultivates the future
Today we officially announce EVA IONI - the first open-source robot for urban gardens, built on MyZubster with payments in Monero (XMR).
🌱 Why EVA IONI?
MyZubster is already a platform for exchanging services with private payments. What's missing is the bridge to the physical world. EVA IONI is that bridge: a robot that can autonomously cultivate, monitor, and manage urban gardens, with payments in Monero.
"Technology should empower people, not control them." — Daniel Ioni
📡 What we're building
1. Soil Sensors (Arduino)
- pH, EC (Electrical Conductivity), Temperature, Humidity
- Real-time data via REST API
- Integration with MyZubster Gateway
- Status: ✅ Already working
2. Interactive Map (Leaflet.js)
- Geolocation of urban gardens
- Sensor data visualization
- Search and filters
- Status: ✅ Already working
3. Robotic Arm (4 DOF)
- Remote control via WebSocket
- Automatic irrigation
- Analysis and harvesting
- Status: 🔄 In development
4. Decentralized Payments (Monero)
- Privacy-first
- 2-of-3 Escrow
- Automatic payments in MYZ/XMR
- Status: ✅ Integrated

- 40 new urban gardens under construction
- Daniel Ioni as local developer
- Hera investing in circular economy
💰 The Economic Model
EVA IONI is not just an open-source project, but an economic ecosystem:
| Activity | Revenue | For |
|---|---|---|
| EVA Sales | 0.5-5% fee | MyZubster |
| Gardening Services | Transaction fees | MyZubster |
| Sponsored Bounties | Corporate payments | Developers |
