Quite amazing what @bot is capable of today, and there is still a lot to be built on top of the current stack
So many recurring workflows across our entire fleet right now, feels like we are actively living out a sci fi movie plot IRL
There are so many amazing things being built across the world right now, and what the @watneyrobotics team is working on is certainly one of the most exciting.
The future of robotics is in very capable hands π€
Weβve raised $80 million in Series A funding, co-led by the Valor Atreides AI Fund and Hummingbird Ventures, with continued participation from Conviction, Abstract, A*, and Grant Gordon. This brings our total raised to over $100 million.
We started Watney by asking a simple question -- what can a robot enable in industries where the work remains valuable on an infinite horizon? We found an answer in the fundamental inputs to civilization: energy, matter, and intelligence.
A robot will never be as charming as a barista or as personable as a housekeeper, but it can be more exacting than a surgeon. And, a breakthrough in one quickly becomes the capability of millions. We donβt imitate human motions or processes. We care about the new, differentiated capabilities robots can unlock. We work on problems where our choice of embodiment gives us an order of magnitude advantage, whether through precision, reliability, or scale.
Compute is just beginning to transform society, but itβs constrained by execution. Since 2025, Watney has been serving the largest hyperscalers in the world, helping accelerate their compute rollout through an end-to-end deployment model.
Across hundreds of thousands of hours in customer facilities, our systems have achieved more than four nines of reliability. Theyβve enabled our customers to build data centers faster, at larger scales, and with more ambitious architectures. Today, we operate the largest fleet of dexterous robots running 24/7/365 across the United States.
This is all to say, it's an exciting time at Watney. Weβre all here because we want to see more ambition in the physical world. We are hiring across all domains. Join us.
Arc Mainnet is live.
Arc launches as the Economic OS for the internet: an open platform for global markets, real-time value movement, tokenized assets, and agentic economic activity.
Arc is more than a blockchain.
It launches as a full-stack financial platform with assets, applications, interoperability, developer infrastructure, and Circle platform services live from day one.
Arc delivers USDC as native gas, deterministic sub-second finality, EVM compatibility, and institutional validators.
It integrates with Arc Studio, App Kits, Arc Portal, Circle Agent Stack, CCTP, Gateway, CPN, and StableFX.
A complete economic platform at genesis.
Arc launches with infrastructure for:
β Agentic economic workflows
β Lending and borrowing
β Trading and liquidity
β Onchain FX
β Payments and settlement
β Tokenized assets
β Exchanges, wallets, custody, compliance, data, and developer tooling
190+ institutional and ecosystem builders are building across Arc.
Banks and traditional financial markets are closed today in the US for a holiday.
Meanwhile, over the past 24 hours, @USDC has processed:
β’ $147.74B in transfer volume
