Crypto meets robotics—the first hybrid projects are hitting the market now, and honestly? The thesis feels shaky.

Here's the real tension: why does robotics even need blockchain in the first place? Where's the actual decentralization edge? When you dig into these teams' pitches, the reasoning often boils down to generic tokenomics talk and vague promises about distributed governance. Not exactly compelling.

That said, I'm watching closely. Maybe the next generation of projects will crack the code on this—finding genuine use cases beyond the buzzwords. For now though, most of these crypto-robotics plays seem to be grafting blockchain onto robotics just because it's trendy, not because it solves real problems.
