The day before yesterday, the humanoid robot company 1X Technologies from Norway officially unveiled the NEO robot and opened pre-orders, priced at $20,000. It also supports a monthly subscription model (at $499 per month) and is expected to begin deliveries in 2026. Tesla also stated that robots will be the next major profit driver. It seems that robots are very likely to be the next big thing.

A humanoid robot that can perform tasks such as taking out the trash, folding clothes, delivering items, setting the table, and other household chores. This should be a product that appeared in many of our childhood essays but is now about to become a reality. This kind of news is undoubtedly the focus of attention for many people. In the crypto world, a meme coin named $NEO on Solana once surpassed a $4 million market cap and currently still holds a $2.7 million market cap.

Furthermore, the on-chain fundraising platform Echo, created by Cobie and just acquired by Coinbase for $375 million, has a $10 million Series C funding allocation from 1X Technologies. However, since it was conducted in a private group, specific details are not known.

In addition to meme coins and Echo's funding amount, crypto projects related to robotics have also attracted attention, with many players referring to this sector as "Robotics." This article will organize projects related to the Robotics sector.

OpenMind

On August 4th, according to official sources, OpenMind, an intelligent machine infrastructure company headquartered in Silicon Valley, announced the completion of a $20 million funding round, led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Ribbit, Sequoia China, Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Lightspeed Faction, Anagram, Pi Network Ventures, Topology, Primitive Ventures, Amber Group, and many other institutions and well-known angel investors.

OpenMind helps robots think, learn, and work by developing open-source software. The native open-source AI robot operating system OM1 allows the configuration and deployment of AI Agents in the digital and physical worlds. Users can create an AI character, run it in the cloud, and also run it on a physical robot in the real world.

In simple terms, OpenMind's work on OM1 is equivalent to creating an "AI Brain" for robots. This "AI Brain" can be composed of multiple AI Agents working together, interacting with multiple LLMs, and gathering data from various sources to perform tasks (such as helping users post on social media). Since OM1 is open-source, it serves as a highly adaptable robot operating system, similar to how Android is hardware-agnostic.

Additionally, OpenMind has a blockchain-based robot identity network called FABRIC, aimed at providing a verifiable trust layer for both humans and robots. Humans can engage on the network by sharing location data through maps, assessing robot behavior, and contributing to development to earn badges. For robots, every robot equipped with the OM1 system will join the FABRIC network, thus establishing a unique verifiable identity for the robot and enabling tracking of its commands, operation logs, ownership, and other related activities on the blockchain.

OpenMind has not yet conducted a token issuance.

XMAQUINA

XMAQUINA is a robot investment DAO. Its governance token $DEUS completed a 3-round sale, raising over $5.5 million in crypto assets. Currently, the DAO has begun using the auction proceeds to support three companies in the humanoid robot sector: Apptronik, Figure AI, and Agility Robotics. From the treasury screenshot on the official website, it is evident that the DAO's investments have started to generate profits, with some returns exceeding 100% in a single transaction.

However, $DEUS has not yet undergone a Token Generation Event (TGE). During the TGE, 33% of the $DEUS allocated for community sale will be immediately unlocked, while the remaining 67% will be linearly vested over 12 months.

peaq

On March 27, the DePIN Layer1 protocol Peaq concluded a $15 million fundraising round, with Generative Ventures and Borderless Capital leading the investment. Other participants included Spartan Group, HV Capital, CMCC Global, Animoca Brands, Moonrock Capital, Fundamental Labs, TRGC, DWF Labs, Crit Ventures, Cogitent Ventures, NGC Ventures, Agnostic Fund, and Altana Wealth.

Although the initially highlighted narrative was DePIN, the project has shown a keen sensitivity to the market, with a recent follow-up on the x402 project, which recently surged in popularity. On the robotics front, peaq released the Robotics SDK in September of this year, enabling robots to obtain self-sovereign identity, engage in payments and receipts, validate data, and participate in the on-chain networked economy.

Furthermore, peaq also features a Robotic RWA Market, bringing robot tokenization onto the chain as a shared revenue-generating asset. In 2025, on the main stage of Korea Blockchain Week, peaq unveiled the first tokenized robot-operated farm deployed on the peaq chain, distributing operational profits to token holders.

Currently, the circulating market cap of $peaq is approximately $110 million.

PrismaX

On June 17, PrismaX announced the completion of a $11 million funding round, with investors including a16z CSX, Volt Capital, Blockchain Builders Fund, Stanford Blockchain Accelerator, and Virtuals.

PrismaX is building an open coordination layer connecting remote operators, robot users, and robot companies. Operators can connect with users, remotely control robots, perform physical tasks, and gather valuable data. They can also request real-world services such as logistics and advertising.

PrismaX features a protocol for remotely operating robots, where enterprises can find skilled and experienced robot operators for complex tasks, and operators can choose to stake network tokens to increase trust and access high-paying tasks. Rewards for stakers are not only based on the amount staked but also on the quality of their work. As work efficiency improves, additional incentives are granted.

The data accumulated through remote operations is used to train robots, enhancing their autonomy and in turn improving the efficiency of remote operators, ultimately achieving high levels of automation or even full autonomy for robots.

PrismaX has not yet issued a coin.

CodecFlow

CodecFlow provides a unified platform that seamlessly operates in the cloud, at the edge, on desktop and robot hardware, while supporting popular APIs and legacy systems.

AI-driven operators, through perception and real-time inference, respond to changes in a software UI or robot environment to address the fragility of traditional robot automation processes that rely too heavily on pre-written scripts, even in the face of subtle changes.

In short, it captures screenshots, camera images, or sensor data, then processes this external input data with AI to interpret observations or instructions, ultimately executing decisions through user interface interaction.

Currently, the $CODEC token has a market cap of approximately $16 million.

NRN Agents

NRN has evolved from AI Agent real-time training chain game AI Arena. On October 28, 2021, developer ArenaX Labs announced the completion of a $5 million seed round, led by Paradigm Capital with participation from Framework Venture Partners. On January 9, 2024, ArenaX Labs announced the completion of a new $6 million round of funding led by Framework Ventures, with participation from SevenX Ventures, FunPlus/Xterio, and Moore Strategic Ventures.

While it largely follows the process of data collection -> reinforcement learning for robots, with its rich experience in the gaming sector, NRN offers a browser-based experience, transforming robot data collection into a game where users can intuitively control simulated robots through a browser. During the game, user-operated behavior data is used to train real-world robot systems.

In the current phase, the project will focus on a robotic arm (RME-1) to validate data collection, real-time learning, and adaptability.

Currently, the $NRN token has a market cap of approximately $11.7 million.

Auki

The decentralized machine perception network Posemesh by Auki is used to connect humans, devices, and AI, with its core being a DePIN (Decentralized Entity Network) architecture that allows robots, AR glasses, and other devices to share real-time location and sensor data, collaboratively building a spatial understanding of the physical world, and providing a shared spatial view for robots, AR, and AI.

Various node roles have been designed based on the Posemesh protocol. Computational nodes provide computing power, motion nodes (robot terminals) upload location information and sensor data, reconstruction nodes generate 3D map models based on this data, and domain nodes manage the 3D space. Each node receives $AUKI token rewards based on their contribution, driving a self-evolving machine vision network.

This network emphasizes privacy protection to avoid a single entity monitoring users' private spaces. It can be applied to multiple scenarios such as retail (product placement optimization), property management (asset tracking), exhibition navigation, architectural design, and other scenarios.

Currently, the $AUKI token has a market value of approximately 52 million USD.

RobotStack

RoboStack is a cloud-based robot development and deployment platform that provides developers with a simulation environment and sandbox testing. The platform is described to simulate a real environment in the cloud, featuring a secure sandbox mechanism, high-performance computing capabilities, real-time metrics, and team collaboration features.

To address the challenge of integrating robot technology across different hardware, middleware, and communication standards for training, RoboStack introduces the Robot Context Protocol (RCP), allowing secure communication between robots, AI agents, and humans. The simulated environment will include token-based voting and incentive mechanisms to foster competition among developers and enthusiasts, facilitating the deployment of real robot applications in future multi-chain environments.

Currently, the $ROBOT token has a market value of approximately 3 million USD.

BitRobot

The BitRobot Network, developed jointly by FrodoBots Lab and Protocol Labs, aims to achieve distributed robot work and collaboration. Its key components include: Verifiable Robot Work (VRW) for defining and validating robot tasks (a quantifiable metric for network rewards), Entity Node Tokens (ENT) for device ownership and network access (unique identity for robots in the system existing in NFT form), and subnets as the task execution operation layer (a resource cluster that creates value for the BitRobot Network).

On February 14, FrodoBots Lab announced the completion of a $6 million seed funding round, bringing the total funding to $8 million.

Currently, BitRobot has not yet been launched. It is worth noting that FrodoBots Lab itself has been selling robots. The Earth Rovers, resembling real-life Mario Karts, are priced at $249. Players remotely control their sidewalk robots in a global treasure hunt game, providing data for researchers to deploy and test their latest AI navigation models. There is also a possibility of launching a coin for this.

Another game robot, ET Fugi, will also be launched in the future, allowing players to remotely control a robotic arm to complete various 3D puzzle games and competitions. ET Fugi is also the first subnet of BitRobot.
