Based on the joint research efforts of OpenMind and Circle, the FABRIC Foundation will further advance the large-scale deployment of the Machine Economy and Intelligent Agents.

BlockBeats News, February 18th, OpenMind and Circle have formally announced a strategic partnership to launch the world's first payment infrastructure tailored for autonomous agents and real-world embodied AI. Through deep integration of Circle's USDC stablecoin and OpenMind's x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI agents to achieve direct, autonomous payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.

Building on the joint foundation of OpenMind and Circle, the FABRIC Foundation will accelerate implementation and scaling in the following two major directions:

1. Robot Birthplace: FABRIC accelerates the global adoption of humanoid robots and other embodied robots through crowdsourcing models (such as liquidity providers) and builds a payment and settlement layer. LP funding support and revenue sharing will significantly improve capital efficiency in robot deployment, greatly reduce deployment barriers, and drive robots from the lab to large-scale commercial use.

2. Acceleration of Adoption: From training + simulation + data collection to evaluating deployment and iterative learning of robot models, FABRIC coordinates robot production, shared simulation environments, and standardized evaluation systems to accelerate rapid iteration of secure, reliable, high-capacity systems.

The payment infrastructure provided by OpenMind + Circle gives robots an "economic brain," while the FABRIC Foundation is responsible for a full-chain closed-loop of "birth, production, operation, and evolution." Through the synergy of these three elements, a truly Machine Economy era will be ushered in - where robots are no longer just tools but independent economic entities with autonomous sensing, decision-making, action, and payment capabilities. In the coming months, more real-world deployment cases (such as automated charging stations) are worthy of continuous attention.
