Star company Unitree Technology is about to launch its IPO, further heating up the robotics economy and becoming one of the hottest global investment trends, with the crypto market being no exception. This article by PANews reviews 12 recently trending robotics-related tokens, ranging from underlying blockchains to decentralized operating systems, spatial perception networks to modular robotics platforms, distributed across ecosystems such as Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Polkadot—many of which have secured funding in the tens of millions of dollars. Over the past half month, these projects have generally seen significant price increases, with market caps mostly concentrated in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars range.

peaq is a Polkadot-based L1 blockchain built on the Substrate framework, designed specifically for the robot economy and tailored for DePAI (DePIN + AI), aiming to enable devices, vehicles, machines, and robots to autonomously trade and exchange value without human intervention. It has already aggregated over 3 million on-chain machines, 60 DePIN applications, and spans more than 20 industries. Currently, peaq offers modular DePIN functionalities including machine self-sovereign identity Peaq ID, peer-to-peer payments via peaq Pay, and role-based access control through peaq Access.
Public data shows that peaq has raised over $40 million across three funding rounds, with investors including GSR, Fundamental Labs, Cypher Capital, Spartan Group, Animoca Brands, DWF Labs, and NGC Ventures.
According to CoinGecko, PEAQ has risen approximately 84.9% over the past two weeks, with a market cap nearing $140 million.
Auki (AUKI)
Auki, based on the Base network, focuses on building a decentralized machine perception network (posemesh) aimed at enabling AI, robots, and smart devices to better understand and interact with the physical world. The network, known as the "real-world web," uses collaborative spatial computing protocols to securely and privately exchange spatial data and computational resources among devices, forming shared awareness of physical environments. Auki’s core features include spatial mapping, robot navigation, and privacy-preserving AR experiences.
According to recent official disclosures, Auki achieved seven-figure ARR (annual recurring revenue) in July this year and revealed it is finalizing its largest enterprise partnership to date, with plans to use approximately 10% of prepayments for repurchasing AUKI tokens on public markets.
CoinGecko data shows that AUKI has surged nearly 129% over the past 14 days, with a market cap exceeding $72.72 million.
Geodnet (GEOD)
GEODNET on Solana aims to create a global GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) reference station network using blockchain technology and distributed consensus mechanisms, providing centimeter-level accuracy RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) correction services. The network spans 148 countries and has deployed over 20,000 stations, primarily supporting applications such as autonomous vehicles, drones, robots, precision agriculture, AR/VR, and the metaverse.
GEODNET introduces a GEOD token incentive mechanism, allowing users to deploy and maintain "space weather" mining stations, thereby establishing a globally distributed, decentralized trusted location network. Officially disclosed, 80% of the project's data revenue will be used to buy back and burn GEOD tokens, and the project recently initiated a token migration plan from Polygon to Solana.
Public records show that Geodnet received five funding rounds between 2023 and 2025, totaling over $15 million, with investors including Multicoin Capital, ParaFi Capital, Digital Asset Capital Management, VanEck, Animoca Brands, and CoinFund.
CoinGecko data indicates that GEOD has increased by approximately 30.9% over the past 24 days, with a market cap of around $58.39 million.
Modulr (EMDR)
Modulr is the first decentralized operating system (deOS) for on-chain robotics applications, built on Ethereum and utilizing a Proof-of-Utility (PoU) model. It supports modular AI and interoperable infrastructure layers for autonomous systems (robots, drones, and AI Agents), including decentralized computing power, machine payments, machine identity, and communication coordination.
CoinGecko data shows that EMDR has risen approximately 32.5% over the past two weeks, with a market cap exceeding $39.51 million.
Codec Flow (CODEC)
Codec Flow is an AI automation execution layer on Solana, aiming to democratize access to robot training and simulation in a decentralized manner. Operator is Codec Flow’s AI Agent powered by a "Vision-Language-Action (VLA)" model, capable of perceiving environments, reasoning through complex instructions, and executing physical tasks across digital and real-world interfaces.
CoinGecko data shows that CODEC has surged 107.4% over the past 14 days, with a market cap exceeding $33.09 million.
Neuron (NRN)
Neuron is a lab focused on AI agent research on Arbitrum, primarily exploring agent applications in both digital and physical worlds. It uses competitions as sandbox environments for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) development, supported by the $NRN token. Neuron is also the builder of AI Arena, a global AI training and competition platform. Neuron is set to launch the NRN Robotics Web App, allowing users to log in, select a robot, and take remote control of physical robots.
