(1/3) Engineering a robust, secure, and decentralized Layer-1 blockchain from scratch is one of the greatest tech challenges of our time. It requires iron discipline, constant code updates, and the absolute ability to completely tune out all external market noise. #peaq 🧵
Introducing the peaq Economics page
Everything about $PEAQ economics, in one place.
→ what drives demand for $PEAQ
→ how fees and newly minted $PEAQ get distributed
→ how supply changes over time
→ where the treasury sits, and every machine bond onchain

The first borrowing and lending market for $PEAQ is now live on @solana via Offerbook on @JupiterExchange.
$PEAQ holders can use their tokens as collateral to access USDC through fixed-term P2P loans, without price-based liquidations.

Everyone has put a coin in one of these. This time you own one.

The Machine Economy needs better token models
DePIN and DePAI token economics need an upgrade
Models designed to bootstrap networks are often not designed to sustain billions of machines
For builders, there’s a big space emerging around bonding, buy-and-burn, stablecoins, and machine financing
We break it down here: https://t.co/3gPVZCHcNs
We keep getting asked what you can launch on https://t.co/PD7oHMIseb.
Anything. It's an open platform, but it's designed for people making hardware: robots, drones, wearables, gaming, DePIN, the software that runs them, the data that trains them.
Check the table for the full breakdown of the categories we're interested in.
You don't need a token to start. Put the project up, prove the tech, tokenize when you're ready and raise from internet capital markets to keep building, in public.
The platform checks it for you:
- SimArena → simulation proof
- peaq → machine proof
- Ignition → supply proof
- Wallets & socials → account proof
Software is being commoditized. The value is moving into hardware - the hardest thing in the world to fund.
Crypto is the only place where you can build in public, prove you're doing something real, and raise the capital to build it without a pedigree, without permission. The ICO era proved it. Memes proved it in their own way - and every idea is a meme, until it is not
Now hardware and its enablers get the same rails
We built @machinedotfun to replicate this for builders
Because three things changed at once:
- Crypto VC pulled back. The capital that was there a year ago isn't today
- Hardware was never the easy bet - harder, slower, and for two decades the upside sat in software
- Private rounds quietly work against the project. Vesting overhangs, unlock schedules, round after round - the price ends up set by when funds need to take profit, not by what the team ships
A new type of builder needs a new mechanism
So what belongs here:
- Anything that touches hardware - robots, sensors, cameras, DePIN devices
- Software built to advance the machine economy - training data, annotation, robotics tooling
- The wider hardware realm - EV charging, drones, mobility, wearables
And what we won't pretend: this is very early-stage exposure. Many projects launching here will fail. That's venture
We're not endorsing Foundry projects on day one. We support them in the background, and the brand goes behind a token only once it's earned
The trade we're offering is the chance to see something like a Unitree in the first inches of its formation
Both sides of that come together
BREAKING: peaq and Doosan Robotics, one of the world’s top 5 collaborative robot makers, enter Physical AI partnership
Doosan and peaq are working to enable easily financeable robots that monetize their spare capacity
The first Doosan robot is already running peaqOS 🔥
Doosan Robotics is part of Doosan Group, South Korea’s oldest company, with robots deployed in 45 countries
Türkiye does a great job exporting machines 🇹🇷
Machines that earn is the natural next step
