Today marks an important milestone in interacting with the Fabric ecosystem— the airdrop claim portal will officially close today (March 13) at 3:00 UTC. Users who meet the criteria but have not yet acted should seize this last opportunity.

In the current heated competition of AI and robotics, most people may not yet fully understand what is being built. This is not just another concept coin driven by narrative hype; rather, it is laying the foundational infrastructure for the upcoming 'machine economy' era.

First, let's look at the team's background: the core contribution team OpenMind, which is composed of top scientists led by Jan Liphardt and Boyuan Chen, comes from Stanford University and Google DeepMind. This combination of a 'research-oriented + engineering-oriented' background is quite rare in the Crypto field. In August 2025, the project completed a $20 million financing round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from top institutions like Coinbase Ventures, DCG, and Sequoia China, providing capital backing across Web2 and Web3.

Let's take a look at the tech architecture: Fabric aims to be the 'Android system + financial layer' for robots. Its core products consist of two main parts—OM1 is an open-source, AI-native 'general brain' for robots, supporting various hardware forms like Unitree, Zhiyuan, and UBTECH, allowing developers to deploy skills just like on an App Store. Meanwhile, the FABRIC protocol is a decentralized collaboration and trust network, granting each robot an on-chain identity, enabling them to verify each other, share skills, and execute automatic settlements, truly making them 'first-class economic participants'. This PoRW (Proof of Robot Work) consensus mechanism quantifies and exchanges the labor value of robots on-chain.

The deep logic of tokenomics: $ROBO is not just a governance and gas token; it's the 'lifeblood' of the entire robot collaboration network. In the future, microtransactions for charging, maintenance, and calling other robots' skills will all settle using $ROBO. This machine-to-machine (M2M) automatic trading scenario holds much more potential than the current simple DeFi or GameFi setups.

Initially deployed on the Base chain, the project plans to migrate to its own application chain (L1) to capture greater value generated by robotic economic activities. While others are still discussing the concept of AI agents, Fabric has already transitioned robots from 'isolated tools' to 'open collaboration'. This is the kind of hardcore infrastructure worth tracking in the long term.#ROBO
