Designed to coordinate, govern, and integrate real-world AI and robotics systems.
Founding and Core Contributors
Collaboration: Developed by the Fabric Foundation, an independent non-profit, and OpenMind, a robotics software company.
Leadership: OpenMind was co-founded by Jan Liphardt, a professor at Stanford University.
Funding: In August 2025, OpenMind raised approximately $20 million in a round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Digital Currency Group, and others.
Key Technical Milestones
Initial Deployment: The protocol first launched on Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, to leverage low transaction costs.
Roadmap: There are long-term plans to migrate from Base to a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain optimized specifically for high-throughput machine-to-machine transactions.
Innovations: Introduced the Proof of Robotic Work model, which ties token release to verifiable robotic tasks and data contributions rather than simple staking.
Token Launch and Distribution (ROBO)
Airdrop: An eligibility window for early contributors and developers ran from February 20 to February 24, 2026.
Supply: The total supply is fixed at 10 billion tokens, with 29.7% allocated to the ecosystem and 24.3% reserved for early strategic investors.
Core Protocol Features
Verifiable Computing: Ensures that every decision and learning step taken by a robot is recorded on a public ledger for transparency.
Machine Identity: Assigns on-chain identities to autonomous agents, allowing them to be authenticated and tracked.
x402 Protocol: An autonomous wallet system that enables robots to pay for their own electricity, parts, and maintenance independently.
