Depin project VanGrid completes $9 million token financing to build a physical AI spatial data network

Comparing news, the Depin project VanGrid completed a $9 million seed round, and HashKey, Crypto.com Capital, and Animoca Brands participated. The financing was completed in multiple batches in January 2026 using the SAFT structure.

The project builds a decentralized spatial data network. Users collect real location data through smartphones and convert it into a 3D spatial model, and sell it to customers after on-chain verification. Target customers are physical AI developers, including robots, autonomous agents, and digital model builders, which also serve defense and government departments. The project stated that the face and license plate were anonymized before the data left the device.

Vangrid is built on the Base network and uses the Ethereum Proof Service to verify data batches. At present, the network has accumulated nearly 100,000 pieces of verification data. The web version and Android app have been launched, and the iOS version is under development. The team is headquartered in Amsterdam with 14 core members and plans to expand engineering and data operations positions over the next few quarters.
