The DAO
A Decentralized Autonomous Organization for Decentralized Physical AI.
The DAO is powered by a global community of builders, technologists, and visionaries committed to decentralizing the next technological revolution: Physical AI.
The DAO governs a multi-asset treasury, allocating capital to robotics, Physical AI, and decentralized infrastructure projects. Every decision is made with strategic focus and community oversight.
Stakeholders
DAO Contributors
Members: Community members stake DEUS tokens to earn governance rights, enabling them to actively participate in decision-making and shape the DAO’s future. The amount of influence depends on both the amount of staked tokens, and the time those tokens have been staked.
Northstar Council: A unit of up to six DAO delegates responsible for supervising the DAO’s direction and long-term strategy to ensure it is aligned with the missions and constitution adopted by the DAO.
Scoring Committee: A panel of industry experts, including leaders from the venture capital, robotics, and decentralized technology sectors, evaluates proposals, drafts memos, advises on developments, and offers strategic recommendations. By doing so, the committee ensures the DAO is well-informed when voting to allocate resources, ultimately helping shape promising concepts into tangible, impactful outcomes.
Execution Engine: The Execution Engine constitutes one or set of operational units engaged by the DAO to manage and execute its key initiatives. The Execution Engine is entrusted with a designated budget and operates autonomously within its mandate to ensure agility and responsiveness to the DAO’s evolving priorities. Over time, the Execution Engine is expected to decentralize further, with responsibilities gradually transitioning to the broader community and automated systems as the DAO matures. DAO members with relevant expertise are encouraged to participate in the Execution Engine, contributing to its mission of driving the machine economy and advancing Physical AI initiatives.
Deus Labs: DEUS Labs is XMAQUINA’s in‑house innovation hub, incubating DAO‑powered projects at the intersection of robotics and Web3. Open to all members, it brings together technologists, researchers, content creators, and builders to develop open‑source initiatives that expand the XMAQUINA ecosystem and keep it at the forefront of innovation.
The Execution Engine
Within the delegated scope, limits, and under the supervision by the DAO, the executing engine is responsible for a number of tasks within the XMAQUINA DAO.
Deal Sourcing: Identifying and evaluating high-potential opportunities in robotics, DePIN, and related sectors. This involves conducting in-depth market research and sourcing investments that align with the DAO’s mission and strategic goals.
Legal: Ensuring all operations adhere to applicable laws, regulations, and tax requirements, safeguarding the DAO’s integrity.
Tokenomics & Incentives: Refining the DEUS token’s economic framework, including creating mechanisms to incentivize meaningful contributions and support long-term sustainability.
Governance: Supporting the evolution of governance processes by promoting transparency, fairness, and proposing updates for community voting as the DAO grows.
Comms & Ops: Managing day-to-day operations, coordinating workflows, driving awareness, and overseeing communication and marketing efforts to grow and engage XMAQUINA’s community while enhancing the DAO’s visibility and impact.
Treasury & DeFi: Developing strategies to manage volatile assets, proposing DeFi strategies for treasury growth, and ensuring transparency in financial reporting to the DAO.
DEUS Labs
DEUS Labs is XMAQUINA’s innovation hub at the intersection of Web3 and robotics. Its core mission is to develop products or spin‑offs that expand the utility of the DEUS token or strengthen the DAO through meaningful ownership stakes.
It explores opportunities in media and research to position XMAQUINA as a household name in Physical AI, while developing DePIN networks or open‑source products for humanoid and service robots. DEUS Labs works with research institutions, universities, and industry partners to move early‑stage concepts toward market‑ready products. Projects that reach MVP stage can be proposed for DAO funding, with outcomes designed to deliver lasting value to the ecosystem.

The DAO's Core Assets
The DAO enables collective governance of tokens, equity and other strategic assets.
Multi-Token Treasury: A diversified treasury, accumulated during the Genesis Auction, comprising crypto assets such as ETH, BTC, PEAQ, stablecoins, and other bluechip DePIN and DePAI tokens. The DAO can leverage these assets to generate yield through DeFi when not actively deployed.
Humanoid Companies: Equity in high-growth humanoid robotics and Physical AI ventures.
Robotics Supply Chain: Backing innovators in actuators, sensors, chips, and infrastructure powering the robotics ecosystem.
DePIN & DePAI Protocols: Early-stage exposure to decentralized Physical AI and infrastructure networks setting the foundations of the decentralized machine economy.
Machine RWAs: Autonomous machines deployed in real-world operations, generating tangible and consistent value.
