# The Task Economy

With the MechaOS core stack live, Phase 2 shifts from pilot demonstrations to an open robotic labor market. The focus is on usability, developer adoption, and the first fleets of robots executing funded on-chain tasks at scale.

### 1. Decentralized Marketplace for Robotic Labor

Launch of the MechaOS Marketplace, where users can post tasks, lock payment in $MECHA or ETH, and have robots claim jobs in a trustless manner.

### 2. Trustless Proof-of-Completion

Integration of **IPFS and Ethereum** anchoring for proof of work. Robots submit telemetry, sensor data, or video hashes, which are immutably linked to the task contract.

> **Why it matters:** Disputes over whether a task was completed are eliminated, enabling trustless gig work for machines.

### 3. Developer SDK & Framework

Release of the MechaOS SDK to onboard builders. Key components include:

* **Simulation modules**: test tasks in virtual robotics environments before deploying to hardware
* **Smart contract templates**: pre-built contracts for common robotic jobs such as delivery and inspection
* **ROS2 connectors**: bridges that translate on-chain commands into robotic execution
