A Community-First Launch powered by Virtuals and Aerodrome

Access to robotics capital markets has historically been restricted to private markets.

DEUS brings that opportunity onchain, creating a liquid market around the emerging robotics economy.

To establish that market with open participation from the start, DEUS was auctioned pre-launch through a series of public, onchain Genesis Auctions, all of which were fully subscribed, aligning community participants and venture capital on the same terms from day one.

Launching in collaboration with Virtuals and Aerodrome, DEUS marks the first Virtuals launch anchored on an Aerodrome liquidity pool, uniting two of Base’s most active ecosystems into a single onchain liquidity environment.

The DEUS Launch

DEUS will go live on Base through a DEUS / VIRTUAL pool on Aerodrome, seeded with over $1M in liquidity at launch. Trading will be accessible via Virtuals Protocol and Aerodrome Finance, with execution on the Aerodrome AMM.

• Liquidity is concentrated in a single pool to ensure tight spreads and efficient execution
• Liquidity is locked for 10 years
• 14-day trading incentives at launch
• LPs earn trading fees

Through Base and Coinbase’s in-app DEX, this market is accessible globally from day one.

Community Trading Incentives

To kickstart market activity, 4.5 million DEUS, representing 0.45% of total supply, is allocated to early participants through a time-bound incentive program.

• 0.225% distributed to net buyers in the DEUS / VIRTUAL pool
• 0.225% distributed to veVIRTUAL holders participating in the DEUS / VIRTUAL pool
• Period: first 14 days following launch
• Distribution: pro-rata based on net buying volume

This program rewards active trading and early participation, concentrating liquidity and volume in the primary market from day one.

In parallel, liquidity providers can deposit into the pool to earn a share of trading fees, creating an additional yield opportunity alongside trading incentives.

The DEUS Token and XMAQUINA Ecosystem

DEUS sits at the center of the XMAQUINA ecosystem, connecting capital, markets, and onchain infrastructure around the robotics economy.

The DAO has built a treasury backed by equity positions in leading humanoid robotics companies, including Apptronik, Figure AI, 1X Technologies, Agility Robotics, and NEURA Robotics. These are private market opportunities that have historically been inaccessible to public investors.

XMAQUINA is building the infrastructure to bring these, and other in-demand robotics assets, onchain.

Through the Robotics Capital Markets (RCM) Protocol, each investment is introduced as a tradable market, paired against DEUS. This positions DEUS as the base asset across all markets, with liquidity and trading activity flowing through it.

DEUS coordinates how capital is deployed and how value flows across the ecosystem, from new investments to protocol expansion, allocation of generated fees, and treasury management following asset-level events. This places DEUS at the center of both market activity and capital coordination.

As new assets are added, the system compounds:

• More robotics assets are brought onchain
  
• New markets are created around them
  
• Trading activity increases
  
• Fees and capital flow back into the treasury
  
• Capital is redeployed into new opportunities

This creates a reinforcing cycle between capital deployment, liquidity, and market activity, with DEUS at the center of that flow.

A New Market Structure on Base

DEUS launches on Base, where deep liquidity, seamless distribution, and onchain access come together in a single ecosystem.

At the core of this launch is the combination of Aerodrome’s liquidity infrastructure and Virtuals’ distribution layer, bringing together two of the most active protocols on Base into a unified market. Liquidity is concentrated, access is immediate, and participation is open from day one.

Combined with Coinbase’s in-app DEX access, this creates a market structure where capital formation, trading, and liquidity exist in one place.

This is how new markets emerge onchain.

“The onchain economy runs on two things: smart infrastructure and deep liquidity. Virtuals and Aerodrome have each been building their side of that on Base. DEUS is the first launch that brings both together, setting the template for more to come”
‍– Luis A. De la Cerda, Executive Director Aerodrome Foundation

‍“We built agent commerce as the first layer. The next phase is robotics capital markets. With XMAQUINA, we are carrying that infrastructure-first approach into a domain defined by deeper capital requirements and structural complexity.”
‍– EtherMage, Co-founder Virtuals Protocol
