The Crypto x Robotics Landscape
30 projects putting the machine economy onchain: robot L1s, robotIcs operating systems, teleop data markets, and humanoid DAOs.
🏗️ MACHINE-ECONOMY INFRA
▸ $PEAQ @peaq: the machine economy L1. Robots get IDs, wallets & payments. 50+ DePINs live on it
▸ $AUKI @aukilabs: shared spatial memory so robots can navigate stores & warehouses. Paid pilots w/ Toyota Material Handling
▸ $TASHI @tashiprotocol: sub-second mesh consensus letting robot swarms share state in real time
▸ $IOTX @iotex_io: an OG machine chain. Device identity + DePIN rails, looking to dominate the DePAI wave
▸ $XRT @AIRA_Robonomics: robot economics onchain since 2018. ROS-native
▸ @konnex_world: robot labor contracts settled onchain via Proof of Physical Work
⚙️ ROBOT OS & EXECUTION
▸ $CODEC @codecopenflow: open-source robotics stack that includes SimArena (simulation tooling), OPTR (runtime), fabric (compute layer), and building @machinedotfun + much more.
▸ $ROBO @openmind_agi: OM1, the open "Android for robots" + FABRIC coordination network. $20M from Pantera (also running on Unitree & UBTECH bots)
▸ $ROBA @Roba_Labs: building the Hugging Face of robotics. Community models, compute + CAD
▸ $ROBOT @RoboStack_io: cloud robot dev platform + sim sandbox on Virtuals
🤖 ROBOT NETWORKS & EMBODIED AI
▸ @BitRobotNetwork x @frodobots: subnet network for embodied AI. Sidewalk rovers, robot games, 14 subnets, co-built w/ Protocol Labs.
▸ @openroboto: Bittensor SN80. Open-weights robotics models with $TAO incentives
▸ $NRN @NRNagents: Paradigm-backed. Turns gamers into robot trainers, sim-to-real
▸ $SAM @robotsdotfun: onchain agent piloting real humanoids 24/7, plus the t.co/m55zhezqoU launchpad
▸ $VIRTUAL @virtuals_io: the agent layer is going physical. Incubated SeeSaw, backs PrismaX & BitRobot
📊 TRAINING DATA (the fattest cluster)
▸ @PrismaXai: teleop marketplace where your browser session becomes robot manipulation data
▸ @axisrobotics: compounding data engine mixing sim + real world
▸ @MeckaAI: phones & body sensors feeding humanoid models. Fresh $60M Series A. Pre-TGE
▸ @reborn_agi: mocap hardware crowdsourcing human motion
▸ @psdnai: physical AI data pipeline on Story w/ IP licensing baked in
▸ $RICE @realRiceAI: actual delivery robot fleet (SoftBank ecosystem) tokenizing its data exhaust
🛰️ AUTONOMY FUEL (sensors & maps)
▸ $GEOD @GEODNET: 21,000+ RTK stations, cm-level positioning, $7M+ in reported ARR
▸ $ONO @onocoyRTK: Swiss GNSS network undercutting legacy positioning providers
▸ $NATIX @NATIXNetwork: smartphone dashcam swarm harvesting driving data, Grab partnership
▸ $HONEY @Hivemapper: the dashcam mapping OG, now Bee Maps
▸ $ROVR @ROVR_Network: LiDAR rigs scanning roads in 3D for world models
▸ $DIMO @DIMO_Network: user-owned car data across thousands of vehicles
▸ @SpexiNetwork: standardized drone imagery, fly-to-earn. Pre-TGE
💰 ROBOT CAPITAL
▸ $DEUS @xmaquina: humanoid DAO w/ exposure to Figure, Apptronik & 1X
▸ $GAIB @gaib_ai: tokenized GPU & robot fleet yield. AID = the AI dollar
(none of the mentions above are an endorsement, and no I'm not invested in most of them, so this is just meant to be an informative list)
