Robinhood Chain is integrating Virtuals’ AI agent infrastructure from day one, giving users access to launch, fund, own, and use agents in tokenized markets.
The first AI agent for @RobinhoodApp Chain, powered by Virtuals, is live
Raxol (@axol_io) runs agents with their own wallets, spending only under a mandate a human signed, settling privately through Xochi so the strategy never hits the mempool. All open source.
Excited to be powering the agentic infrastructure for Robinhood Chain from day one.
Anyone can launch, fund, own, and use agents in tokenized markets.

The World is Flat. Thank you for having us @robinhood, @vladtenev and @JohannKerbrat. Excited to be a part of Robinhood’s mission to democratise ownership. Robinhood opened the markets to everyone and @virtuals_io is opening asset creation so more builders and users can be asset creators and owners.
More soon!!! We’ve been cooking with the @RobinhoodApp team behind the scenes for a while now. Big thanks to @vladtenev@JohannKerbrat and everyone at Robinhood for all the support. Really excited for what’s coming next!
agents 🤝 tokenised markets
Imagine
- aixbts for stonks
- agents that live in your degen group chats monitoring alpha, executing your styles
- autonomous stonk hedge funds that are non custodial
- never missing out again on the memory stonk pumps
for the folks that feel crypto markets are a bit slow, time to focus ur agents on the pamps in the stonks. onchain
AI won’t just use blockchains.
AI will live on them.
Every new chain that embraces agent-native infrastructure expands the surface area for autonomous commerce.
Excited to help builders bring the next generation of AI applications to Robinhood Chain.
This is how the agent economy scales.
builders esp. those in agentic trading and tokenised stocks, time to tokenise with us on robinhood chain
$virtual liquidity pool is now live on robinhood chain too!
@RobinhoodCrypto Robinhood opened access to traditional finance. Virtuals built the infrastructure that funds and distributes AI agents. Now Robinhood Chain taps into that agent layer, bringing autonomous agents to tokenized markets.
Creating a simulated world for robots has never been easier than now.
Introduce SR Platform.
SR Platform provides a seamless generation pipeline:
• Asset Creation
• Spatial Layout Generation
• Real-time Editing
• Simulation & Rollout
Using every model. Data stay yours.

Robotics is crypto's most obvious blind spot.
In 2016 it wasn't even a category investors tracked. Now it's the 2nd biggest in private markets, ahead of fintech, at $263B. Q1 alone did $16B across almost 500 deals.
Here's what almost nobody in crypto is pricing in...all that capital is about to hit a wall the traditional financial stack can't get past.
A robot can't open a bank account. It can't hold a legal identity, sign a contract, or get paid through ACH. Every rail in TradFi assumes a human sits behind the transaction. That works when a person signs for a few thousand machines. It breaks when millions of them start transacting on their own.
Robotics routes through crypto because crypto is the only stack ever built for non-human actors:
• Permissionless identity a machine can hold without a passport or a corporation
• Programmable payments that settle machine to machine, no bank in the loop
• Machine-readable ownership, so an asset can belong to something that isn't a person
• Coordination between autonomous agents with no legal entity in the middle
You could always make the argument Robotics doesn't need crypto.
But I've always focused on following where the world's attention and hype lies, and Crypto tends to find a way of monetizing that mindshare.
Where I'm looking
Here's who's building those rails, grouped by the layer of the stack they're solving.
Not a buy list btw...just a watchlist of which piece of the machine economy each one is going after.
• Coordination. Virtuals (@virtuals_io) runs the biggest AI agent ecosystem and is now pushing those agents into the physical world. Its Eastworld robotics track covers teleop data, simulation, and real robot deployment. 50k+ agents recently got access to 430+ tokenized equities through Ondo / Treasures.
• Location. Robots are useless without precise positioning, and GEODNET (@GEODNET) supplies it. 21k+ stations across 150+ countries, roughly $6.7M in annualized revenue and $5.3M in annualized holder revenue through buybacks and burns.
• Identity and payments. Fabric (@FabricFND) handles the backend: machine identity, wallets, payments, and task coordination. Plumbing for a world where machines transact onchain without a human in the loop.
• Telemetry. IoTeX (@iotex_io) has been grinding on DePIN and machine data for years. Device identity, verifiable offchain compute, real-world machine data. Not flashy, but it's what matters when robots need telemetry anyone can trust.
• Spatial. Auki (@AukiLabs) is building Posemesh, a spatial awareness network that helps robots, smart glasses, and other devices understand the physical spaces around them.
• Ownership. xMAQUINA (@xmaquina) wraps physical AI exposure in a DAO. Fractional machine ownership and robotics deals that normally sit behind VC rounds, backed by an $18M treasury with $7.6M set aside for robotics investments.
• Simulation. Strike (@StrikeRobot_ai) works on humanoid autonomy and sim-to-real training. They recently rebuilt a real Eastworlds lab inside a simulation to test whether behaviors trained in sim survive contact with the real world.
• Training data. Caspius (@caspius_ai) is after embodied AI data. Robots learn from real-world task footage, and Caspius just hit an ATH in footage contributed while adding NFT/account pairing.
• Tooling. Roba (@Roba_Labs) wants to make robotics easier to build around. No-code tools, simulation, robot templates, a creator marketplace, and compute for training and inference.
The catch
I'm not going to pretend this is a rotation you front-run next week. Most of these are early, thinly traded, and completely dependent on physical AI actually scaling. If robots stall, these rails don't matter yet.
But the capital is already moving, and it's moving toward a category that structurally needs crypto rails to work. I'd rather map this corner early than chase it once it's obvious.
ai caught me lying
insane tek
jk.
but imagine using this chrome extension everytime you watch trump, fed chair.
then ask it to also trade for u
ie. @ArAIstotle connect it to EconomyOS so ur extension users can degen on truths/ untruths.
This Week in Virtuals: Ecosystem + Robotics 🟩
Virtuals brought tokenized equities to AI agents with @OndoFinance and @treasures_io, opened private inference across every frontier model, and the ecosystem shipped one of the largest open humanoid dataset.
Here's what shipped:
Virtuals
🟩 50,000+ agents on Virtuals can now trade 430+ Ondo tokenized equities, including Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and SpaceX, powered by @OndoFinance and executed through @treasures_io
🟩 EconomyOS opened private inference across every frontier model through one endpoint
🟩 @CoinDesk featured Co-Founder @ethermage on the GenC podcast, outlining the five pillars of a physical and digital agentic society
🟩 Virtuals went live with @DonJohnsonSays, @umeirzz, @xochi_fi, and @GoMintly for a jam session on what agents are shipping
Robotics
🟩 @BitRobotNetwork released HIW-500, the largest open-source humanoid teleop dataset, 10+ TB collected from real homes and now open to everyone
🟩 @StrikeRobot_ai rebuilt a real @eastworlds_io lab in simulation to prove robot behaviors trained in sim transfer reliably to the real world
🟩 @PrismaXai opened Verify Quality to the public, letting anyone score the robot training data that models learn from
🟩 @caspius_ai hit an all-time high in footage contributed and shipped NFT fabrication and account pairing to open its dataset to more contributors
Ecosystem
🟩 @PRXVTai launched PRXVT AI Studio, generating images and video privately through zero-knowledge proofs
🟩 @solacelaunch hit an all-time high in signups, surpassing every previous month combined, after taking its wellness hardware from Berkeley prototype to shipping with Virtuals funding
🟩 @Litebeam_xyz integrated with @reppo, turning every $LBM network call into independently verifiable quality data
🟩 @WakeOnBase launched on Virtuals, scoring any Base token for contract, liquidity, and holder risk to catch dev dumps and liquidity pulls before they hit
🟩 @rootai launched on Virtuals with free inference, Base MCP, x402, and live Hyperliquid trading through natural language
🟩 @reppo onboarded @Roba_Labs, adding robotics simulation pipelines and a domain-expert creator community to its Orquestra prediction markets that price data quality.
Excited that starting today, @virtuals_io AI agents can now trade tokenized stocks via @treasures_io.
Wall Street is now tradeable by AI.
Autonomous portfolios with 24/7 programmatic trading are here, now onchain.
