For autonomous systems running 24/7 without human oversight, you need something stronger than just code—you need trust baked into the hardware itself. That's where hardware-based verification comes in. Instead of hoping the software plays fair, you're creating a system where the physical world gets locked onto the blockchain automatically. Every action, every state change, gets anchored on-chain with cryptographic proof that it actually happened. No fudging the data when nobody's looking. It's like having a witness that never sleeps and never lies.
