What started as a vision for mapping urban gardens has evolved into something much bigger. Over the past weeks, we’ve built a complete decentralized ecosystem that connects IoT sensors, robots, and communities using Monero (XMR) and MYZ tokens.
The Journey: From Gardens to Streets
It all began with a simple idea: create a map for urban gardens. But we quickly realized that a map alone wasn’t enough. We needed a full system that could:
- Monitor soil health in real-time
- Automate irrigation and analysis
- Enable private, decentralized payments
- Connect communities and institutions
Here’s what we built.
๐บ๏ธ The Urban Garden Map
Using Leaflet.js and a REST API, we created an interactive map where anyone can register their urban garden. The map supports:
- Geolocation with
/nearbyendpoint - Full CRUD operations for gardens
- Search by name and city

๐ก Arduino Sensors for Smart Agriculture
We integrated Arduino sensors to monitor soil conditions in real-time:
- pH (0-14 scale)
- EC (Electrical Conductivity)
- Temperature and Humidity
The data flows through Node.js APIs and is stored in MongoDB, making it accessible for analysis and reporting.
๐ฆพ The Robot Ecosystem
We built a family of software robots that can receive payments automatically in MYZ and XMR:
1. AgricoloBot – The Garden Assistant
- Monitors soil health
- Generates automatic reports
- Provides recommendations for farmers
2. Robot Arm – The Physical Gardener
- 4 DOF (Degrees of Freedom)
- Controlled via WebSocket
- Can water, plant, analyze, and harvest
3. CleanStreetBot – Street Cleaning Robot
- Reports waste with geolocation
- Automates zone cleaning
- Generates reports for municipalities
4. RecicloBot, PuliziaBot, CompostBot – Recycling and Waste Management
- Monitor containers and optimize collection routes
- Track composting and organic waste management
๐ฐ Decentralized Payments with Monero and MYZ
All robots receive automatic payments through an escrow system:
- 85% โ Robot owner
- 2% โ MyZubster platform
- 8% โ Bosco Community Fund
- 5% โ Referrer (if cloned)
The system uses Monero (XMR) for privacy and MYZ (Tari token) for ecosystem rewards.
๐๏ธ Partnerships in Rimini
We’re actively collaborating with:
- Comune di Rimini – For urban garden policies
- Anthea S.r.l. – For green space management
- Futura Ambiente (Hera Group) – For circular economy integration
The Parco della Biodiversitร in Rimini will host the first pilot project with 40 new urban gardens and IoT sensors.
