NavAI Integration Proposal
Introduction
NavAI is a decentralized, AI-powered 3D mapping platform that transforms how people and machines interact with the physical world. Built for the next era of spatial computing, NavAI uses smartphone cameras and AI to crowdsource precise, real-time maps—anchored to the blockchain for full data ownership and transparency.
Through Visual Positioning Systems (VPS), NavAI enables immersive, location-based experiences, on-chain digital economies, and AI agent navigation with centimeter-level precision. By combining spatial intelligence with Web3 infrastructure, NavAI unlocks real-world metaverse applications at scale.

Value Proposition
NavAI solves critical challenges in geolocation and mapping:
● GPS limitations indoors and in dense urban environments
● Centralized control over spatial data by tech monopolies
● Lack of Web3-native location infrastructure
With NavAI, developers and users gain access to:
● An open, tokenized geospatial layer
● Persistent AR anchoring and interaction across real-world locations
● A shared 3D map for AI agents, games, and decentralized applications
● Monetization tools for contributors who help build the map
NavAI powers a future where users own the map, and location becomes a programmable, verifiable digital asset.

Uniqueness Factor
Unlike centralized services like Google Maps or Niantic’s Lightship VPS, NavAI is:
● Decentralized by design – map data is contributed and owned by users, not a corporation
● Built for Web3 – with smart contracts, NFTs, and location-based token economies
● Camera-first and hardware-light – no LiDAR or proprietary devices needed
● Interoperable – enabling integration with AR apps, smart cities, DePIN systems, and metaverse platforms
NavAI stands as the first open VPS infrastructure that supports real-time spatial computing and AI autonomy, all governed by blockchain incentives.

Benefits for Users
● True ownership of mapping contributions and geospatial NFTs
● Rewards for participation in building the map or playing AR games
● Immersive experiences through persistent AR quests, collectibles, and digital commerce
● High-precision navigation for consumers, gamers, and AI agents
● Zero barrier to entry : all powered by a smartphone
NavAI reimagines the physical world as a collaborative, open-source layer—available for exploration, interaction, and monetization.

Benefits for the Metis Ecosystem
Integrating NavAI with Metis unlocks a powerful combination of decentralized infrastructure and real-world utility :
● On-chain spatial assets and microtransactions natively executed on Metis
● DePIN application layer for contributors to build, validate, and earn within a Metis rollup
● City-scale AR game deployments and metaverse use cases, driving user engagement and network activity
● Interoperability with smart contracts and NFTs for location-based identity, commerce, and AI agents
● New verticals for Metis : smart retail, digital twins, urban mobility, and physical asset tokenization
Together, NavAI and Metis can pioneer a real-world on-chain experience at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and augmented reality.

Security / Audits
NavAI’s smart contracts will undergo security audits in phases, aligned with deployment milestones. Key security practices include:
● Smart contract auditing (2026)
● Proof-of-contribution and location validity checks via cryptographic signatures
● Decentralized map data validation through consensus oracles and redundancy
● Protection against spoofing and GPS manipulation via visual verification
● Community-driven bug bounties
Security is a core pillar, especially as NavAI scales to power infrastructure-level applications in real-world environments.

———————————
Summary
NavAI is building the infrastructure layer for spatial Web3—where navigation, mapping, and digital interaction converge. By anchoring real-world locations on-chain and empowering users to own and profit from their surroundings, NavAI creates a decentralized world map for the metaverse, AR games, smart cities, and autonomous systems.
We invite Metis to join us in shaping this next frontier: a programmable Earth, governed by users, fueled by data, and activated by AI.
