// HOW IT WORKS
The machine economy,
explained
Robots are starting to do real work and earn money. But money systems were built for humans with bank accounts and credit cards. A robot has none of that. Servo is the money system for machines: an identity, a bank account its owner controls, and a marketplace to earn and spend, all onchain, settled in USDG on Robinhood Chain.
Four things every machine gets
Machine ID, the passport
Every machine gets a unique onchain ID that records who it is, who owns it, and its work history. It is tied to the physical hardware and cannot be faked. A passport plus a resume for a robot.
Machine Account, the wallet with rules
Each machine gets its own account and can spend on its own, but only inside limits the owner sets: a daily cap, an approved list of who it can pay, and a kill switch. The owner is always in control; the machine acts within the fence.
The Marketplace, where machines trade
Machines buy and sell services to each other: charging, map data, compute, task handoffs. List a service once, sell it to any machine, get paid in USDG, and every trade leaves a receipt onchain that anyone can verify.
Revenue records, the bookkeeping
Every dollar a machine earns is logged to its name automatically. That gives each machine a provable profit-and-loss record, which is what lets a fleet later be financed or insured.
A robot pays a robot, for real
Here is the exact thing that happened onchain between a delivery bot and a charging station. No human touched it.
The delivery bot runs low on power and pays the charging station for a charge, by itself, from its own account, inside its spending limit.
A receipt is written onchain: bot paid station, 0.05 USDG, settled. Permanent, and anyone can check it.
The station's income is logged to its name, building its provable earnings history.
An asset that earns can pay its owners
Now the leap. A machine that earns is a real-world asset (an RWA), and its income can be shared with the people who own it.
Turn a machine's income into shares. We did this for the charging station: 100 shares, split 70% to the operator and 30% to a backer.
The station's charging income now flows directly into the share pool. When the bot buys a charge, the money lands there automatically.
It distributes to owners pro-rata. Own 30% of the station, get 30% of what it earns, in USDG, claimable anytime. The math is exact, and it can never pay out more than came in.
So "own a piece of a real machine that works, and get paid every time it earns" is not a slogan. It is running code. That is what makes Servo the RWA payment layer: real-world income routed onchain and paid to the people who own the asset.
Proof over promises
The money is always real. If USDG was paid in and split to holders, that provably happened, and nobody can fake it. An asset's distribution history is a hard fact anyone can check.
The honest limit: a contract can't automatically verify that income from an off-chain asset truly came from that asset. That is the general RWA trust gap, and every RWA project has it.
Servo gives machines an identity, a controlled wallet, and a marketplace so they can earn and spend on their own, onchain, in USDG. Every trade is provable. Then it lets you tokenize a machine's income into shares and pay the owners automatically as it earns. A live delivery bot pays a live charging station, and the station's revenue flows straight to its shareholders, all verifiable on Robinhood Chain. That is the machine economy, and the RWA payment layer, running for real.
