Virtuals Protocol is launching Eastworlds, a robotics accelerator that gives selected teams access to humanoid platforms like the Unitree G1 along with up to one month of operational support. The program requires a fully diluted valuation of at least $5 million maintained for one week, plus an onboarding assessment tied to the Robotics Launch designation. This initiative addresses growing demand from ecosystem builders for embodied AI and humanoid robotics applications. The broader robotics sector has attracted between $23 billion and $40.7 billion in recent venture funding, with companies like Figure AI, 1X Technologies, and Agility Robotics raising hundreds of millions each.
