# Introducing Modulr

**The First Decentralized Operating System Powering On-Chain Robotics Applications**

_A Proof-of-Utility (PoU) Model Serving as the Base Layer for the Robotics-Enabled Economy_

AI-driven robotics are about to impact every area of the global economy in one of the biggest technical transformations since the industrial revolution. This is happening here and now with Tesla rolling out their Robotaxi, Amazon deploying 1m+ robots and the global robotics industry forecast to hit a $24T market cap by 2030.

Blockchain-based solutions offer the most natural fit for providing the backbone of this revolution. The resilience, transparency and permissionless access offered by decentralized architecture is especially important to scaling coordination between machines, users, and data. Yet currently, no on-chain solutions are tailored to the specific needs of the robotics-enabled economy in terms of compute power, data storage, flexible hardware integration, toolchain optimization and reward mechanisms.

Modulr solves this problem by delivering the first decentralized operating system capable of supporting robotics, connected devices, and on-chain modular services in real-world environments. Modulr works on the premise that the entire economy of the near future will be robotics enabled, therefore whichever operating system becomes standard for robotics applications will form the base layer for the entire global economy.&#x20;

The Modulr solution is built on 5 core concepts:\
\
**1. The Decentralized Operating System (deOS):** A global network of remote servers, storage, and software tailored to building robotics,robotics-enabled AI applications and more.

**2. Proof of Utility (PoU):** The deOS operates upon the principle of Proof of Utility. Rather than burning energy to solve meaningless puzzles (like Proof-of-Work), or earning passive rewards just for locking up tokens (like Proof-of-Stake), Proof-of-Utility (PoU) rewards and incentivizes real, useful work.

**3. Co-Chains:** Modulr allows users to launch their own mini-blockchains tailored to specific use cases like robotics and embodied AI applications, delivering the customizability required for the robotics-enabled economy.

**4. Modular Machine Architecture:** Our modular machine architecture allows technology developers from any vertical (including LLM developers, gaming developers, cloud services providers and more) to build modular services that seamlessly plug into machine-led financial ecosystems.

Taken together, these features provide the technological infrastructure, the incentive structure, the modular flexibility and the operational business model required to support a genuinely decentralized robotics-enabled economy.
