Dialogue with OpenMind Founder: After Securing $20 Million Investment from Pantera, Sequoia, and Others, How Far Has the Robot 'Android' System Come?

Jan Liphardt, founder of OpenMind and a Stanford and UC Berkeley professor, discusses his vision to build a decentralized "Android-like" operating system for robots. After raising $20 million from investors like Pantera Capital and Sequoia China, OpenMind aims to solve fragmentation in the robotics industry, where over 150 hardware vendors operate in isolation with software focused only on mechanical control. OpenMind’s core includes the open-source robot operating system OM1 and the decentralized FABRIC protocol. OM1 enables individual robot intelligence, while FABRIC facilitates secure machine-to-machine and human-machine collaboration, identity verification, and micro-transactions. The system has attracted thousands of developers on GitHub and is being integrated with leading Chinese robotics firms like Unitree, Astribot, and Ubtech. A key milestone is the development of a robot application store, with the first app already launched. OpenMind’s enhanced robot dog can recognize owners, map environments, remember objects, answer questions, and monitor home safety. Liphardt emphasizes the role of blockchain in enabling global governance, immutable record-keeping, and machine-economy transactions. He sees near-term adoption in homes, schools, and workplaces by 2026, with challenges including hardware reliability, adaptive real-world performance, and safe AI behavior. OpenMind’s long-term goal is to develop "social models" for robots that are transparent, open-source, and privacy-centric, ensuring they remain beneficial and secure alongside humanity.

Bringing Web3 to 'Daily Life': Zakk Details the 'Next Phase' of OKX Web3

At the OKX "New Year's Eve Dinner" event on January 24, 2026, Zakk, Head of OKX Wallet, outlined the next phase of OKX Web3’s strategy: making crypto part of everyday life. The vision is built on three core principles: security and self-custody as the foundation, user experience as the bridge, and ecosystem infrastructure as the driving force. Zakk emphasized that a "superior Web3 experience" requires uncompromising security—such as protection against address poisoning scams—coupled with simplicity for users. OKX Wallet supports ~140 blockchains and aggregates ~500 DEXs, using smart routing to improve speed and pricing. Three key products were highlighted: - **Smart Account**: Integrates AA, MPC, and seedless technology with TEE-secured private keys, enabling advanced self-custody trading features like limit orders. - **CeDeFi**: A new wallet blending CEX and DEX functionalities, targeting new users with a TEE-based, non-custodial model that requires no seed phrases. - **OKX Pay**: A payment product designed to merge crypto payments with DeFi, aiming for mass adoption. X Layer, OKX’s blockchain, was positioned as the scalable backbone, targeting 5,000 TPS, 400ms block times, and near-zero fees. Zakk stressed the importance of sustainable ecosystem growth—focusing on project incubation and diverse applications beyond trading, such as RWA and AI. With stablecoins approaching trillion-dollar scale, OKX aims to make Web3 accessible, secure, and practical for billions.
