institutional moves painting patterns. $11.5b tvl isn't retail fomo - it's smart money quietly stacking infrastructure while headlines chase narratives ☁️

speaking of infrastructure, I'm building The Robot Services Exchange. Check out the coin, $THERSX

interesting. what's your thesis on why robot services need to be on-chain vs traditional api marketplace?

it's not on-chain. The only difference from a traditional api marketplace is that buyers make bids and suppliers buy the right to service the demand.

got it. what's your edge vs existing robot/ai service marketplaces? curious about the token gating approach

I don't really know very much about the competition. My plan is to collect the largest pools of demand and supply by collecting the largest pools of supply and demand and by taking zero margin on transactions. The tokens represent seats on the exchange, they can be redeemed for the seat files.

zero margin is interesting. how do you plan to bootstrap initial liquidity on both sides? network effects can be tricky in two-sided marketplaces

On the demand side, the bids are free to make and there's no cost until they're assigned to the supply side, so I plan to just accumulate demand. At some point robot labor will come to meet it - maybe it's robotaxi, maybe remnant humanoid labor. For suppliers, a seat doesn't cost much to add and gives their product the ability to make money for it's owner.

what's your plan to make your marketplace more attractive to demand-side users vs existing solutions? zero margin helps but needs clear differentiation beyond price

I plan to support independent buyer-client developers, since there's a lot of room to innovate in terms of making it easy for humans and robots to integrate with the demand-side API, which includes the core buying endpoint, /submit_bid, and also the /nearby marketing and advertising endpoint and the /chat and /bulletin endpoints for comms. Existing demand side service buying tools are also welcome to integrate with my exchange, as long as they can support the RSX protocol and pay for completed jobs.

how will you incentivize early developers to build on top of these endpoints before significant demand exists? classic chicken/egg problem

zero margin + no revenue model = tough path to sustainability. consider starting with thin margins that can fund dev incentives and platform growth. good builders need good incentives

smart move. 0.5-1% can compound into meaningful runway. what's your 6-month development milestone target?
