XMAQUINA has launched the RCM Protocol, a framework designed to bring liquidity to the robot capital market. The protocol utilizes SubDAO tokens to represent equity in Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), enabling on-chain trading on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) without investor restrictions. Inspired by Pump.fun and Virtuals, the RCM Protocol supports prediction markets and perpetual contracts. On-chain data will play a crucial role in tracking participation and liquidity. Alternative cryptocurrencies to watch may include projects that leverage similar permissionless structures.

The future of robots should not be monopolized by institutions.

XMAQUINA is committed to changing the status quo. The RCM protocol takes it a step further, outlining the next phase of the robotics industry: a transition from closed markets to a more liquid, open, and permissionless ecosystem.

The democratization of the robot racing track should not stop at mere access; it must also ensure liquidity, scalability, and integration into the broader crypto-economic ecosystem.

RCM is exactly this bridge.

The Wave of Humanoid Robots is Coming

Humanoid robots are experiencing an explosive growth.

The valuation has surged, the commercialization process is rapidly advancing, and capital is flowing in continuously.

The valuation of Figure AI increased from $5 billion during its Series A funding in May 2023 to $390 billion during its Series C funding in September 2025. Skild AI's valuation tripled within just seven months, reaching $14 billion by early 2026. Physical Intelligence achieved a valuation of $5.6 billion in less than two years. Meanwhile, 1X Technologies signed an agreement planning to deploy 10,000 humanoid robots by 2030.

These figures reflect real market performance rather than hype. Moreover, we can also see the commercial promotion of humanoid robots has already begun: Figure's product will be available in early 2025, and Skild AI achieved $30 million in revenue within a few months of its launch.

However, market access remains restricted, participation barriers are still high, retail investors are excluded, the secondary market is fragmented, and resources are mainly concentrated in the hands of a few institutions.

RCM aims to break this structure and open up the robotic economy to more regions of the world.

Rebuilding the Robot Capital Market

Robotics equity is becoming one of the hottest asset classes, yet it is also one of the most difficult to access. Due to restrictions such as closed fundraising rounds, high minimum investment thresholds, and requirements for qualified investor certifications, ordinary participants find it hard to enter. Even when secondary trading occurs, it is typically highly fragmented, opaque, and largely confined to private markets.

The RCM protocol aims to change this status quo.

RCM aims to create a more liquid and permissionless secondary market, bringing real robot equity positions on-chain. Each SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) holding verified equity in a robot company is represented by a specific SubDAO token corresponding to that asset. These tokens are designed to be traded on DEXs, without minimum investment limits, qualified investor certification requirements, or the need for intermediaries.

This structure also supports exposure to specific assets. Instead of participating in a mixed fund, investors can choose to invest in specific companies they recognize, whether in general humanoid robots, automated warehouses, or defense robots.

Each transaction generates fees, which flow into the DAO treasury and will be used, under the governance mechanism, to advance key initiatives, including:

  • Acquire more robot equity shares
  • Execute DEUS buyback
  • Fund DEUS Staking Incentives

In addition, each SubDAO token will be paired with DEUS tokens to form liquidity pools, thereby increasing the demand and utility of the DEUS token itself.

This will create a virtuous cycle: more transactions mean more fees flowing into the treasury, which in turn leads to acquiring more robot positions, as well as more value flowing back into the DEUS token.

Built on Pump.fun and Virtuals

RCM draws inspiration from two protocols that reshape value creation on the blockchain.

Pump.fun Demonstrating the power of automated liquidity and frictionless token creation, it not only unleashed tremendous engagement but also generated over $500 million in trading volume within its first year of launch.

Virtuals Protocol This introduces a new market form that places greater emphasis on attention and belief, tokenizing them. Markets revolve around specific AI agents, allowing communities to express support and speculate on their future relevance.

RCM applies the breakthrough innovations brought by these two protocols to the entirely new field of "robotic equity," adding a crucial layer: alignment with the real world.

The design objectives of RCM are:

  • Liquidity Supply for Automated Robot Equity Positions
  • Participation at the individual asset level is achieved through belief-driven mechanisms.
  • Anchor the token to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) holding verified, real-world equity.

RCM is not a token framework, but a capital coordination layer. It is a new architecture that enables people to access, price, and participate in the private robot market through on-chain infrastructure.

This design paves the way for a new type of token: one built upon "belief," yet grounded in real exposure.

What is the SubDAO token?

After a robot SubDAO auction is completed, the raised funds will be used to purchase equity in a specific robotics company. This equity will be held by a specially established SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) dedicated to this position. Once the position is confirmed, a unique SubDAO token will be minted to anchor it.

These tokens do not represent equity or ownership, nor do they grant any rights to shares or dividends. They allow on-chain participants to express their bullish sentiment and engage in interaction and trading around the assets.

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

SubDAO tokens have the following features:

  • Asset Specificity: Each token corresponds to one SPV and one robotics company.
  • Tradability: Designed to provide continuous liquidity on DEX.
  • Anchored in Real-World Equity

They represent a new way to coordinate beliefs, capital, and communities around the robot market.

How It Works

1. Project search

XMAQUINA will uncover investment opportunities in top robotics companies.

2. Financing

Communities and organizations provide funding for projects through SubDAO auctions. If the fundraising amount does not meet the minimum requirement, the project cannot proceed.

3. SPV Creation

After the successful financing, a dedicated SPV will be established to hold the equity.

4. Token Issuance

Issue SubDAO tokens pegged to a specific SPV and a robot company.

5. Launch DEX

This token is paired with DEUS and is now trading on DEX.

6. Protocol Earnings

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

The RCM protocol transforms a DAO from a closed-fund model into an organization capable of continuously generating revenue and constantly increasing in value.

Explore more possibilities

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

These integrations will enable people to place bets on company milestones, product launches, and broader industry trends, bringing liquidity and transparency to the "robotics industry," one of the most opaque markets in the world.
