Raised $10 million, XMAQUINA reshapes the way capital markets participate in robotics

About a year ago, in January 2025, the first DEUS Genesis auction officially launched.

It introduced a simple idea: access to the embodied robotics capital market should not be limited to insiders, but open to anyone, with fully transparent, on-chain transactions.

When XMAQUINA’s founding members initiated the first round of auctions, their intention was clear: create a permissionless mechanism enabling anyone to participate early in the rise of embodied robotics.

Today, this mechanism has been validated through auctions, attracting nearly two thousand participants and raising over $10 million.

The system is working.

A Fair Starting Line for Everyone

Each Genesis auction follows the same structure:

No preferential pricing, fully on-chain, open to all. Venture funds and strategic angel investors participate side by side with the broader community—no advantages, no privileged channels, no special access.

Below are some notable participants in the Genesis auctions.

Institutional Funds

• Borderless Capital
• Moonrock Capital
• MH Ventures
• Generative Ventures
• Fundamental Labs
• Waterdrip Capital
• vVv
• Clairvoyant Labs
• Signal Ventures
• Wise3 Ventures
• Mulana Capital
• EoT Ventures
• CoinIX
• Advanced Blockchain

Strategic Angel Investors

Includes Anil Lulla, co-founder of Delphi Digital, senior partners from Arkstream Capital, LD Capital, and KuCoin Ventures, as well as XMAQUINA DAO's strong advisory group, including Markus Ogurek, former executive at Cisco.

Real-world results show that this system not only "works," but has created a truly level playing field in one of tech’s most difficult-to-access markets.

What Happens Next

With total fundraising exceeding $10 million, the DAO now holds substantial reserves to continue acquiring or increasing stakes in leading robotics companies.

This investment thesis is already being realized. For example, Apptronik has doubled in value since entry; the proposal regarding Neura Robotics, BOT-09, has passed and is being executed to secure a strategically significant allocation.

The portfolio continues to expand. Below is an overview of companies currently held, under execution, or under active evaluation:

The next phase focuses on execution. Beyond continued capital deployment, contributors can look forward not only to new robotics investment proposals but also plans for DAO-incubated protocols and platforms designed to grow the ecosystem and enhance utility for the $DEUS token.

What began as an open experiment is now evolving into a growth engine.

Bullish on Robotics? So Are We

XMAQUINA is a decentralized ecosystem empowering a global community to gain early access to the world’s leading robotics companies before they disrupt trillion-dollar industries.

Now, you don’t have to watch from the sidelines—you can capture the upside of the embodied robotics revolution.

Notably, the DAO Leaderboard has launched to track and reward genuine contributions within the ecosystem. Season 1 is underway, distributing 500,000 $DEUS tokens to the top 100 contributors excelling in content creation, bounty participation, and on-chain engagement.
