High-level and directional. Mechanics, token structure, fees, and legal form are being finalized with counsel and may change. Nothing here is an offer or solicitation; participation in an allocation is limited to eligible, onboarded investors under the applicable framework.
At a glance
Each robotics allocation moves through a defined lifecycle — from sourcing, to a gated capital-formation round for eligible investors, to a freely-tradable onchain market — with returns driven by the underlying position’s own liquidity events.The lifecycle
- Deal sourcing. A robotics allocation aligned with the mandate is identified and evaluated.
- Gated capital formation. Capital is raised through a gated allocation round open only to eligible, onboarded investors (KYC / eligibility checks) — not a public sale. If a minimum threshold isn’t reached, the allocation doesn’t proceed and subscriptions are returned.
- Issuance. A dedicated issuer acquires and holds the position (directly or via an SPV) and issues a per-allocation note — a limited-recourse claim that tracks the net realised proceeds of that single position. Holders do not receive equity, shares, or voting rights in the underlying company.
- Lock-up. Freshly-issued notes carry a short, configurable post-mint lock-up before they become transferable.
- Onchain secondary market. After the lock-up, the note is freely transferable and trades on decentralized exchanges, paired against DEUS. Secondary liquidity is seeded and operated by an independent market maker — not the issuer.
- Returns. There is no holder-initiated redemption. Returns are event-driven: when the underlying position has a liquidity event (e.g. IPO, acquisition, secondary sale), the net proceeds are distributed to onboarded, KYC’d holders.
The DEUS flywheel
Every allocation market is paired against DEUS as the base asset, so each new allocation routes more activity through DEUS — positioning it at the center of RCM liquidity. Protocol governance oversight sits with xDEUS holders, and a protocol-level fee is designed to accrue to the DAO ecosystem (the exact fee model is being finalized).Roles, kept separate by design
A core principle of the RCM Protocol is a clean separation between the regulated issuance layer and the protocol/market layers:- Issuer — acquires and holds the position and issues the note; runs the gated primary allocation and any payouts. Does not operate the market.
- Protocol / app layer — the public interface and protocol infrastructure.
- Independent market maker — seeds and operates secondary liquidity, on its own account.
Participation is intended for eligible investors under the applicable offering framework. Final eligibility, note terms, fees, and the legal structure will be published as structuring completes.
