XMAQUINA is launching Wave 1.5 of the Genesis Auction, the next phase in a community-led sale to distribute $DEUS and grow the DAO’s multi-token treasury. For a full breakdown of how it works, read our documentation.
As a decentralized ecosystem, XMAQUINA gives its members access to the rise of humanoids and Physical AI, technologies that are set to reshape the global economy. The DAO pools capital to acquire strategic Physical AI assets, including equity in robotics startups, revenue-generating autonomous machines, and early-stage positions in high-potential DePIN and DePAI networks.
The Genesis Auction replaces closed private rounds with an open, on-chain model where community members participate alongside venture capital. Contributors receive non-transferable receipt tokens representing future $DEUS allocations and unlocking immediate meta-governance rights. The crypto assets accepted may vary by wave, including ETH, BTC, USDC, and DePAI-aligned tokens, depending on the DAO’s evolving treasury strategy.
Wave 1 opened at an effective $37M fully diluted valuation and sold out quickly, attracting over 1,000 contributors and close to one million dollars in liquid assets committed. If you missed it, you can read the full recap here.
Now, with optimistic governance launching, $DEUS holders will vote on how treasury capital is allocated. Initial proposals will include strategic allocations to Apptronik and Figure AI, two of the most advanced humanoid robotics companies in the world.

Why Humanoid Robotics?
Humanoid robots are scaling faster than any hardware category in history. The market is projected to grow from around 1,000 units in 2025 to 10 million by 2029, reflecting a 10x annual growth rate that matches the early trajectory of large language models.
This growth is already happening. Robots are being deployed in warehouses, logistics, and manufacturing to address labor shortages, rising costs, and the need for adaptable automation. Unlike single-purpose machines, humanoids are generalists. They can operate in human-built environments, use human tools, and integrate into existing workflows without requiring infrastructure changes.
Their momentum is driven by advances in software, AI, and data. With billions of humans providing real-world behavioral data, humanoids can learn, adapt, and improve continuously. We explore this further in our research article: Why Robotics Investments Are Outperforming Crypto.
Some of this momentum is already visible. Apptronik and Figure AI are both deploying working systems today and expanding into commercial use.
Apptronik:
- Modular robots built for logistics, manufacturing, and defense.
- Apollo runs up to 22 hours a day with swappable batteries
- Its Physical AI is developed in collaboration with Google DeepMind
- Commercial pilots are live at Mercedes Benz and U.S. production is scaling.
Figure AI
- Autonomous humanoids designed for large-scale labor automation.
- Figure 02 is active at BMW, powered by proprietary Helix AI and built in-house.
- Backed by Microsoft, Amazon, and OpenAI.
