Sunrise Brings the Machine Economy to Solana with XMaquina’s DEUS
Sunrise, the asset gateway for Solana, today launches DEUS, the governance token of XMaquina's humanoid robotics DAO, natively on Solana from day one, minute one of its token generation event. The canonical Solana market goes live at the first block alongside DEUS's broader debut, giving the chain's DePIN economy direct access to a treasury that holds positions in Apptronik, Figure AI, and the private humanoid robotics industry.
A Robotics DAO with Exposure to Apptronik, Figure AI, and the Private Machine Economy
XMaquina is a decentralized ecosystem for humanoid robotics and Physical AI, built around two pieces: the XMAQUINA DAO and the Machine Economy Launchpad. Token holders pool capital into a multi-asset treasury and vote on how the DAO deploys into frontier robotics companies and DePAI infrastructure. Current exposures include positions in Apptronik and Figure AI, two of the most active humanoid robotics manufacturers in the private market, alongside physical-AI tooling and DePAI hardware.
DEUS itself is the governance and access layer. Holders stake to vote on capital deployment decisions, and staking confers access rights to sub-DAO launches that originate through the Machine Economy Launchpad. The treasury earns from those allocations; governance decides where the next dollar goes.
Today's TGE is the asset's first transferable issuance. Governance proposal XMQ-02 approved the event with a 96% vote share across roughly 19 million votes, allocating 128 million DEUS (12.8% of total supply) to launch. 110 million of those tokens fund a final community pre-sale designed to expand the DAO's equity stake in humanoid robotics firms; the remaining 18 million, paired with $150,000 USDC, seed liquidity and ecosystem development at launch.
XMaquina was incubated on peaq before the TGE. Founder Mauricio Zolliker previously led growth and business development at peaq. Backers include Advanced Blockchain, EoT Ventures, Generative Ventures, MH Ventures, Moonrock Capital, Fundamental Labs, and coinIX. Advisors include Michael Ganser, former Senior Vice President at Cisco, and Simon Dedic of Moonrock Capital.
Solana DePIN Extends to the Machines Themselves
Solana already hosts the densest decentralized infrastructure economy in crypto. Helium for connectivity, Hivemapper for mapping, io.net and Render for compute and GPU. The chain has spent two cycles becoming the venue where physical infrastructure tokenizes itself.
DEUS extends that economy one layer up. Sensors and compute already trade on Solana. The treasury that holds the actual machines (humanoid robots, DePAI hardware, the companies building them) now does too. The same Solana-native audience that absorbed the first wave of DePIN assets now has a canonical market for the second.
Liquid retail exposure to private-market robotics companies, normally gated behind venture rounds, arrives through a Solana-native asset. Today, DEUS is canonically tradable across Jupiter, Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Kamino, Mayan, Titan, DFlow and more from the first block. DEUS on Solana is not a wrapped representation: it is the asset's first native Solana market.
“Solana built crypto's largest DePIN economy on sensors and compute. With XMaquina on Sunrise, it now extends into humanoid robotics and Physical AI. A whole new asset category, onchain.” — Simon Berglund, Head of Business Development, Wormhole Labs
Day-One Listing
The Solana market opens at TGE. DEUS arrives on Solana with canonical depth the moment trading begins anywhere. For an asset class still defined by venture-stage opacity, the first onchain market is also the first venue where the public can access it.
For Solana, the listing slots a new asset class directly into the chain's existing distribution. Wallets, aggregators, and DEXs read DEUS the same way they read any major Solana-native token. The machine economy has a Solana home chain from day one.
