* A capture network that grows out of pockets, not procurement. Any phone becomes a Miate sensor the moment its first clip lands on the network, and billions of eligible devices are already out there. Nothing to install, nothing to ship.
* Street markets, stairwells, loading docks and shop interiors show up at a level of detail satellites and camera cars never reach. Contributors come back to the same corners every week, so the record stays alive instead of quietly going stale.
* No hardware. No fleets. No permits. Coverage follows people. A contributor films a short multi-angle clip of whatever is around them, faces and plates are scrubbed on the device itself, and the raw footage never leaves the phone that shot it.
* Each clip is hashed, geo-stamped and signed at the instant of recording, so nothing downstream can be rewritten after the fact. Overlapping captures of the same spot get checked against each other, and a confidence score climbs as independent phones agree.
* What your application finally receives is structured, queryable data with geometry, timestamps and a provenance trail attached. You never have to take Miate's word for anything.
* Film what is in front of you. Get paid in $MIATE. Connect a wallet, open the capture app in any browser and record a clip. Claim an open bounty or roam freely, and build a track record the network pays out against the moment a submission clears review.
The living record of what the world looks like from the ground
Miate network mark
* Made for the places decisions depend on: secure sites where every observation needs a paper trail, warehouse floors fixed cameras never fully cover, infrastructure that deserves better than a quarterly walkthrough, and robots that need to see a space before anyone trusts them inside it.
* In defense, a verifiable chain of custody beats convenience, because observations get audited long after they were filmed. In logistics, fresh spatial context routes fleets through yards and bays nobody ever wired with cameras.
* For infrastructure, monitoring turns continuous instead of episodic. And for embodied AI, Miate is the ground truth a robot ingests before it takes its first unsupervised step.
* Order eyes on any location. Post a bounty with the where and the what, fund it, and review clips as they arrive. Accept the one that clears your bar and the reward releases on the spot. No invoices, no chasing anyone down.
* One door for both sides. Film with your phone or query verified data through the API, and it all flows into the same record. Open the app to start capturing, or talk to us about an enterprise deployment.
