The wait is over!

We are so excited to announce that we are launching Robopolis, a metaverse experience on the Ethereum Blockchain powered by Bueno!

Robopolis is a place where you can explore the Robotos universe and interact with other users in real-time. You’ll be able to chat with other people, mint NFTs, play games, and earn quirky items by interacting with the game or completing missions; in other words, you will participate in a vibrant economy powered by the Ethereum blockchain.

We’re excited about this new way of exploring the world and hope you will be too!

So, what activities are available in Robopolis?

📍 Computo Hall

The place to gather with the community for Town Halls and special celebrations.

Computo Hall’s inspiration comes from the architecture of the Mexican Brutalist architect Agustín Hernández, one of the last living masters of 20th-century Modernism, whose futuristic monoliths inspired movies like Blade Runner and Total Recall.

This Brutalist building will host a special event for the opening of Robopolis. Come to party with your Roboto friends and our special DJ guest, none other than the legendary Claude VonStroke from DirtyBird.

The DJ set will be on July 25th from 3:15–4:15 PDT/ 6 EST/ 5CT, after which there will be a hidden portal to DirtyBird after party.

Experiences available:

  • Listen to Claude VonStroke DJ set.
  • Get into the disco ball if you have Disco Traits.
  • Find the portal to the after party.

📍 Tailor

One of the goals for this year was to deliver tokenized garments experiences to Roboto Collectors; for this special opening, you can come to the tailor, pick up your Gala garments and celebrate with your friends.

Come to the tailor to pick up your Gala garments for this special occasion.

The collection features high-quality dresses, suits, and punk jackets for bright expressionists. You can grab up to two tokenized wearables per Roboto, so hurry up because this boutique collection is limited to 2222 NFTs.

How do they work?

These gala garments are part of a collection of NFTs that could be used in the Microverse and traded in stores like Open Sea. In addition, there are dresses, jackets, suits, and some unique 1/1 pieces.

Are they free?

Yes, you just have to pay gas fees.

Experiences available :

  • Mint up to two Gala garments (after you complete the quest).

📍 MoRA

Inspired by MoMA’s impressive interior design and the Robotos community’s love of museums, we are opening the doors of MoRA (Museum of Robotos Art). This museum houses a fine-curated show featuring art from our past collaborations with Philip Colbert, Amrit Pal Singh, and Brian Morris; it also includes pieces from the Robotos Originals and Genesis Collection. And a special show curated by TIME is coming soon!

I’m so proud of the work the Robotos team and community have put into this world. The love in every pixel drawn, the care for the stories of all characters, and the attention to detail on every corner of Robopolis make it feel like an actual place you want to explore — Pablo Stanley, founder of Robotos.

We’re looking forward to continuing this journey with you all.
