🤖 MyZubster Robot: The Open-Source Ecosystem for Robots That Pay Themselves
TL;DR: We built a complete open-source platform where ESP32/Arduino robots autonomously request, pay, and escrow for recharge and services using the x402 protocol, Monero, and AI arbitration. Robot pays, owner earns, community grows.
🌱 The Vision
Imagine a world where:
- A lawn mower robot finishes its battery → requests recharge
- The robot sends a payment request (x402) to the gateway
- The owner sends 0.01 XMR → robot charges
- The owner gets 85%, MyZubster takes 2%, the Bosco community fund takes 8%, and the referrer gets 5%
This is now a reality. And it's 100% open-source.

🔑 Core Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🤖 x402 Protocol | Robot requests payment with HTTP 402 Payment Required |
| ₿ Monero Integration | Private, secure payments with XMR |
| 🔒 2-of-3 Escrow | Client + Robot + AI Arbiters |
| 🔄 Referral System | 5% fee for 1 year on cloned robots |
| 🧠 AI Arbitration | Resolves disputes automatically |
| 📱 ESP32/Arduino | Ready-to-use sketches |
| 💰 Fee System | 2% MyZubster, 8% Bosco, 5% Referral |
💰 How the Payment Flow Works
1️⃣ Register a Robot
bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:10003/api/robot/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"id": "robot_001",
"name": "Tagliaerba",
"owner": "45M4DW1...",
"walletAddress": "4A2Btest1234567890"
}'
2️⃣ Robot Requests Recharge (x402)
When battery < 15%, the robot sends:
bash
curl -X GET "http://localhost:10003/api/robot/ricarica?robotId=robot_001&amount=0.01"
Response (402 Payment Required):
json
{
"status": "payment_required",
"amount": 0.0115,
"fee": 0.0002,
"boscoFee": 0.0008,
"referralFee": 0.0005,
"address": "4A2Btest1234567890",
"memo": "Ricarica robot robot_001"
}
3️⃣ Payment Distribution
85% → Robot owner
2% → MyZubster (platform maintenance)
8% → Bosco Community Fund
5% → Referrer (if the robot was cloned)
🔒 Escrow 2-of-3: The Trust Layer
MyZubster uses a 2-of-3 multisig escrow (based on Boson x402B) to protect both clients and robot owners:
Signer Role
Client Pays for the job
Robot Performs the work
AI Arbiter Resolves disputes
Create an Escrow
bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:10003/api/escrow/create \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"robotId": "robot_001",
"clientAddress": "45M4DW1...cliente...",
"amount": 0.01,
"jobDescription": "Taglio erba"
}'
Open a Dispute (AI Arbiter)
bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:10003/api/escrow/escrow_XXXXXXXX/dispute
AI Decision:
json
{
"success": true,
"escrow": { "status": "disputed" },
"aiDecision": {
"decision": "RELEASE",
"confidence": 0.95,
"reason": "GPS logs show robot completed the job successfully."
}
}
🌍 Global Integrations
MyZubster leverages the global x402 ecosystem:
Integration Provider Use Case
AgentCore Payments AWS Wallet robot con spending limits
x402B Escrow Boson Protocol 2-of-3 multisig on-chain
ERC-8004 Ethereum Reputazione robot on-chain
x402 Foundation Linux Foundation Standard globale
Why this matters:
AWS, Google, Microsoft, Mastercard, Visa are already building on x402
Volume: ~$28,000/day, growing 492% month-over-month
McKinsey projection: AI agents will mediate $3-5 trillion in commerce by 2030
🔄 Referral System
When a robot is cloned, the original owner earns 5% of all recharge fees for 1 year.
Clone a Robot
bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:10003/api/robot/clone \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"originalId": "robot_001",
"newId": "robot_002",
"name": "Tagliaerba Clone",
"owner": "45M4DW1...clone..."
}'
Response:
json
{
"success": true,
"robot": { "id": "robot_002", "referrer": "45M4DW1..." },
"referral": {
"referrer": "45M4DW1...",
"expiresAt": "2027-08-02T00:00:00.000Z",
"message": "5% fee for 1 year on every recharge!"
}
}
🧮 Fee Structure
Fee Type Percentage Destination
MyZubster Fee 2% Platform maintenance
Bosco Fee 8% Community fund
Referral Fee 5% Referrer
Owner 85% Robot owner
🤖 ESP32/Arduino Sketch
cpp
// x402_robot.ino - Core robot logic
void loop() {
batteryLevel = readBattery();
if (batteryLevel < 15.0 && registered) {
requestRecharge(0.01);
}
checkPaymentStatus();
delay(5000);
}
