Three of eight challenges depend on simulation, and top teams get fast-tracked into The Foundry.

07 Sep 2026machine.fun and Codec: financing machines onchainArgues crypto's next financialization is machines: robotics VC reached $50B+, Unitree's retail tranche was 8,000x oversubscribed, and machine.fun gives prototype-stage hardware founders a launchpad. Codec gains a path from browser prototype to Foundry to crowd raise.ThesisRoboticsDePIN52 likes
