XMAQUINA announces the launch of RCM Protocol: Reshaping the Robot Capital Market

Author: XMAQUINA

The future of robotics should not be monopolized by institutions.

XMAQUINA is committed to changing the status quo. The RCM protocol takes a step further, outlining the next blueprint for the robotics industry: transforming from a closed market into a more liquid, open, and permissionless ecosystem.

The democratization of the robotics track should not stop at access; it must have liquidity, scalability, and be integrated into the broader crypto economy.

RCM is precisely this bridge.

The wave of humanoid robots is coming

Humanoid robots are experiencing explosive growth.

Valuations are soaring, commercialization is rapidly advancing, and capital is flowing in continuously.

Figure AI’s valuation grew from $500 million in May 2023 during Series A funding to $39 billion in September 2025 during Series C; Skild AI’s valuation tripled in just seven months, reaching $14 billion in early 2026; Physical Intelligence reached a valuation of $5.6 billion in less than two years. Meanwhile, 1X Technologies signed an agreement to deploy 10,000 humanoid robots by 2030.

These figures reflect real market performance, not hype. Additionally, we can see that commercial promotion of humanoid robots has already begun: Figure’s products launched in early 2025, and Skild AI achieved $30 million in revenue within a few months of release.

However, market access remains restricted, with high participation thresholds, retail investors excluded, secondary markets fragmented, and resources mainly concentrated in a few institutions.

RCM aims to break this structure and open the robotics economy to more regions worldwide.

Rebuilding the Robotics Capital Market

Robotics equity is becoming one of the hottest asset classes, but also one of the hardest to access. Due to closed funding rounds, high minimum investment thresholds, and qualified investor requirements, ordinary participants find it difficult to enter. Even when secondary trading occurs, it is often highly fragmented, opaque, and mainly limited to private markets.

The RCM protocol aims to change this situation.

RCM seeks to create a more liquid and permissionless secondary market, bringing real robotics equity positions onto the chain. Each verified equity holding of a robotics company is represented by a specific SubDAO token issued to an SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) dedicated to that position. These tokens are designed to be tradable on DEXs, with no minimum investment, no qualified investor requirements, and no intermediaries.

This structure also supports exposure to specific assets. Investors can choose to invest in particular companies they trust, whether general humanoid robots, automated warehouses, or defense robots, without participating in pooled funds.

Each transaction incurs fees, which flow into the DAO treasury and are used under governance to fund key initiatives, including:

• Acquiring more robotics equity
• Executing DEUS buybacks
• Funding DEUS staking incentives

Additionally, each SubDAO token will be paired with the DEUS token to form a liquidity pool, enhancing the demand and utility of DEUS itself.

This creates a virtuous cycle: more transactions mean more fees flowing into the treasury, leading to more robot positions acquired, and more value flowing back into the DEUS token.

Built on Pump.fun and Virtuals

RCM draws inspiration from two protocols that reshape on-chain value creation.

Pump.fun demonstrates the power of automated liquidity and frictionless token creation, not only unlocking massive participation but also generating over $500 million in trading volume in its first year.

Virtuals Protocol introduces a new market paradigm, focusing on attention and belief, tokenizing them, and forming markets around specific AI Agents. Communities can express support and speculate on their future relevance.

RCM applies the groundbreaking innovations from these two protocols to the new field of “robotics equity,” adding a key layer: alignment with the real world.

RCM’s design goals are:

• Automated liquidity provision for robotics equity positions
• Belief-driven participation at the individual asset level
• Token anchoring to verified, real-world equity held by SPVs

RCM is not just a token framework but a capital coordination layer. It is a new architecture enabling people to access, price, and participate in private robotics markets via on-chain infrastructure.

This design paves the way for a new type of token: built on “belief” but backed by real exposure.

What is a Robotics SubDAO Token?

When a robotics SubDAO auction concludes, the funds raised are used to purchase equity in a specific robotics company. This equity is held within an SPV dedicated to that position. Once the position is confirmed, a unique SubDAO token is minted to anchor it.

These tokens do not represent ownership or equity rights, nor do they confer dividends; they allow on-chain participants to express their confidence and engage in trading around the asset.

As regulatory clarity improves, new mechanisms may be introduced to deepen the connection between SubDAO tokens and the underlying assets.

Features of SubDAO tokens:

• Asset specificity: each token corresponds to an SPV and a robotics company
• Tradability: designed to provide continuous liquidity on DEXs
• Backing: supported by real-world equity

They represent a new way to coordinate belief, capital, and community around the robotics market.

How It Works

1. Project Sourcing

XMAQUINA identifies investment opportunities in top robotics companies.

2. Fundraising

The community and institutions fund projects through SubDAO auctions. If the funding target is not met, the project cannot proceed.

3. SPV Creation

Upon successful fundraising, a dedicated SPV is established to hold the equity.

4. Token Issuance

SubDAO tokens anchored to the specific SPV and robotics company are issued.

5. DEX Listing

The token is paired with DEUS and listed for trading on DEXs.

6. Protocol Revenue

Trading fees flow into the treasury and are managed by DEUS holders.

The RCM protocol transforms DAO from a closed-end fund model into an organization capable of generating ongoing income and appreciation.

Expanding Possibilities

The protocol’s structure also opens the door for future integration with prediction markets and perpetual contracts.

These integrations will enable betting on company milestones, product launches, and broader industry trends, bringing liquidity and transparency to one of the most opaque markets in the world—the “robotics industry.”
