The robotics and blockchain sectors are starting to intersect in a serious way, and is one of the projects leading this shift. Backed by Fabric Foundation, ROBO is designed to support a new kind of economy—one where robots are not just tools, but independent participants on-chain.
What is ROBO really about?
ROBO is the native token powering Fabric Foundation’s vision of a decentralized robot economy. Instead of robots being locked into closed, corporate-controlled systems, Fabric is building open infrastructure that allows robots to:
Hold on-chain wallets
Maintain verifiable digital identities
Perform tasks autonomously
Earn and spend value directly using blockchain rails
Early technical input came from OpenMind, helping shape the project’s focus on openness and autonomy. The idea is simple but powerful: robots should be able to interact economically without centralized gatekeepers.
With the global robotics market expected to cross $150B+ in the near term, Fabric is positioning itself at the infrastructure layer—payments, identity, and coordination—rather than manufacturing hardware.
Notably, early ecosystem collaborators mentioned by the project include Circle, NVIDIA, and Unitree, highlighting interest from both crypto-native and robotics-focused players.
Tokenomics Overview
$ROBO has a fixed total supply of 10 billion tokens, with a long-term distribution structure aimed at sustainability rather than short-term hype:
Investors – 24.3%
12-month cliff, then linear vesting over 36 months
Team & Advisors – 20%
Same vesting schedule as investors
Foundation Reserve – 18%
30% unlocked at TGE, remainder vested linearly over 40 months
Ecosystem & Community – 29.7%
30% unlocked at TGE, rest over 40 months
Community Airdrop – 5% (500M tokens)
100% unlocked at TGE
Liquidity & Launch – 2.5%
Fully unlocked at launch
Public Sale – 0.5%
Fully unlocked
A portion of protocol revenue is planned to be used for open-market buybacks, adding a long-term demand component to the token economy.
Utility of $ROBO
ROBO is not a speculative placeholder—it has clear functional roles inside the network:
Payment of network fees (robot identity checks, transactions, coordination)
Staking for participation in coordination and Proof of Robotic Work rewards
Required token for builders developing apps and services on Fabric
Governance voting on fees, parameters, and network rules
Important to note: ROBO does not represent ownership of robots or direct revenue claims from physical hardware.
Launch Details
ROBO officially launched on February 27, 2026 through Virtuals Protocol under Titan Mode—a framework reserved for large-scale launches with strong liquidity and higher entry requirements.
Key launch characteristics:
Deep liquidity from day one
Anti-sniping and reduced early volatility
Fixed 1% trading tax
100% public liquidity allocation
The initial fully diluted valuation (FDV) was around $250M, depending on liquidity conditions. The token first went live on Base DEXs and later appeared on multiple centralized exchanges.
As an added incentive, Virtuals allocated 0.01% of total supply (~1M ROBO) to net buyers in the ROBO/VIRTUAL pool during the first 14 days.
Community Airdrop
5% of total supply (500M ROBO) reserved for the community
Claim window: Feb 27, 2026 → March 13, 2026 (03:00 UTC)
One-time, gasless signature per wallet

Final Thoughts
$ROBO stands out as one of the most narrative-aligned launches of 2026—combining robotics and blockchain infrastructure under a single economic model. As the first Titan Mode launch on Virtuals, it sets a precedent for how large-scale Web3 + real-world projects may enter the market.
As always, crypto markets are volatile. Do your own research and rely on official sources before participating.
