OpenMind and Circle have previously announced a strategic partnership to jointly launch the world’s first payment infrastructure designed specifically for autonomous agents and real-world embodied AI. By deeply integrating Circle’s USDC stablecoin with OpenMind’s x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI agents to perform direct, autonomous payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.
Building on the joint efforts of OpenMind and Circle, the FABRIC Foundation will accelerate deployment and scaling in two main areas: Robot Birthplace and Acceleration of Adoption.
The payment infrastructure of OpenMind + Circle provides machines with an “economic brain,” while the FABRIC Foundation is responsible for the full cycle of “birth, production, operation, and evolution.” Together, these three will foster the era of a true machine economy—robots will no longer be mere tools but independent economic entities with autonomous perception, decision-making, action, and payment capabilities. In the coming months, more real-world deployment cases (such as automated charging stations) are worth ongoing attention.
