# Genesis: Robots On-Chain Phase 1 focuses on proving that robots can operate as on-chain economic agents. The goal is to deploy the first technical primitives, onboard early developers, and run live demonstrations where smart contracts direct physical robotic motion. ### 1. ETH → ROS2 Execution Pipeline The first milestone connects Ethereum transactions directly to ROS2, the robotic operating system used across research and industry. This bridge converts blockchain events into executable commands, allowing robots to receive and act on tasks without intermediaries. > **Why it matters:** For the first time, Ethereum smart contracts can control real machines in a verifiable and decentralized way. ### 2. Demo Robot Deployments A curated set of robots, including rovers, drones, and manipulators, will perform end-to-end execution: smart contract → command → robotic action → proof of completion. > **Why it matters:** Demonstrates technical feasibility and establishes trust with developers, researchers, and early adopters. ### 3. $MECHA Token Launch The official launch of the $MECHA token introduces the economic layer of MechaOS. $MECHA functions as: * **Gas for robotic execution**: used to pay for on-chain robotic tasks * **Staking and security**: required for robots and operators to participate and ensure task reliability * **Governance power**: enables holders to shape protocol upgrades, task standards, and fee models --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.mechaos.io/roadmap/genesis-robots-on-chain.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
