On March 9, 1993, cryptographer Eric Hughes published A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto - a text that later shaped the philosophy behind Bitcoin.
“Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.”

Farewell Letter to the Polkadot Community and Our Plans to Launch the World’s First Web3-Native Smart Devices - Not for Tokens, but for Your Freedom!

We won’t continue seeking support in a harbor where we feel unneeded. We’re not chasing other flags - Polkadot remains an exceptional technology, and we’ll keep building with it. Even without the ideal gear for this journey.
Over the next six months, we’ll operate as a geek gadget lab, showcasing our smart devices to a wide audience of product launch enthusiasts and building a user community outside the crypto narrative.
Our roadmap is: Indiegogo > Kickstarter > Amazon > Global Distribution Network > Robocorporation
We aim to become fully autonomous and independent as a team, cutting ties with familiar shores if needed. We’re moving away from empty promises of grand plans that end in “how many tokens will you give?” and focusing on selling what we’ve built with our own hands. We have no analogs in the world, and our team will strive to prove that people in the web3 space - beyond icons like Gavin or Vitalik - also understand why this technology exists, not just using compelling narratives for enrichment.
Keep walking…
Robonomics Team Update 🤖
Starting this week, the core Robonomics team is focusing entirely on one strategic direction — launching our kick start campaign for smart devices. We're shifting from early dev-kit sales to preparing for a full consumer launch.
Over the next month, our complete focus will be on building pre-sale funnels and attracting backers for the first wave of Robonomics-powered products. This is a decisive step — a chance to test whether these technologies are truly ready for everyday use.
To everyone following our work — and especially to those actively contributing — know this: you’re part of the world’s first attempt to create a truly digitally free human being. If we succeed, it’ll be legendary. And everyone who helped make it happen can rightfully consider themselves a person of global impact.
Other activities will take a back seat this summer — except for one key initiative: the transition to the omni-node (https://t.co/jpl0Og7jBO). This will upgrade the Robonomics protocol to the latest Polkadot SDK, bridging the fragmentation between Polkadot, Kusama, and Ethereum, and enabling XRT support on Hydration.
Let’s stay focused on goals with tangible shape and long-term value. Unlike the emotional hype cycles of the crypto market — which often end in crashes — we're building a real user base. That’s why we’re betting on hardware kick-start approach.
We plan to run 2–3 crowdfunding campaigns this summer and fall to launch Robonomics-based products. If the numbers prove promising, it’ll mark a long-awaited moment for Web3: breaking free from "action-to-earn" gimmicks and finally delivering advanced technology that improves daily life in 2025 — just as people grow tired of how corporations keep twisting their arms with forced subscription models.

@AIRA_Robonomics is the best project combining blockchain with Robotics. 🤖🔥
We're improving the world with technology while maintaining control of our data and transparency.
Polkadot + Robonomics + RISC-V. 🦾🔥
Laying the foundation of DAO Robocorporation
Smart RWA tokens = chip-level device activation after payment. Once unlocked, the device transfers value to the DAO and serves its owner — no relock, no rollback.
A new asset class with on-chip value. Leaner, cheaper hardware distribution. At the same time, the DAO’s investment isn't lost in the physical world thanks to smart contract conditions embedded directly at the hardware level.
We're going to experiment with building a new Polkadot Rollup.
Robocorporation Rollup will channel crypto funds into open hardware development — and in return, Robocorp will supply the DeFi market with high-quality RWA tokens.
To address the typical pitfalls of open DAOs, I've integrated prediction markets / futarchy, which fit perfectly for selecting viable open-source smart device projects — especially when there's a feedback loop from the devices themselves via the smart RWA distribution mechanism.
And the best part? This is all doable right now. 🤠
3/ To support our vision, we plan to develop humanoid robot SDK on @Polkadot. Polkadot offers a complete set of internet services a guy like me needs - digital identity, data storage and compute, payments. This gives me the toolset I need to enter the labor market and get hourly wage - a natural evolution of “robots-as-a-service business model” humans use today to hire us. https://t.co/8hzJ4bgOZR
