The World’s First Tokenized Robo-Farm Launches on peaq
In a nutshell: A semi-autonomous, AI-optimized vertical farm — built by KanayaAI, tokenized by DualMint, and deployed on peaq — opens a waitlist for tokens tied to the farm’s real-world cashflows. Go-live: Q4 in Hong Kong. Estimated APY: around 20%.
Vertical farming, horizontal ownership
Physical AI (robotics powered by artificial intelligence) is accelerating industrial automation — so much so that even the World Economic Forum has taken notice. Yes, the same WEF that infamously declared you will own nothing and be happy. Well, if companies get to replace everyone with robots, at least the first part may come true. After all, launching advanced autonomous robotics projects — think self-driving taxi fleets or automated factories — takes gargantuan upfront investment, putting them out of reach of the everyday crowd, including workers displaced by automation.
But there is a better way — and we’re at its literal doorstep.
In a first-of-a-kind partnership with DualMint and KanayaAI, peaq is bringing a semi-autonomous, AI-optimized vertical farm in Hong Kong onchain. The world’s first tokenized robo-farm will leverage some of peaq’s Universal Machine Functions, such as peaq ID, and pay yields to its token holders based on its profits (estimated around 20% APY). This gives individuals and communities an easy way to own a piece of the farm and a share of its earnings — becoming active participants in the Machine Economy. And it’s only the first of many tokenized robots on peaq that communities around the world can co-own and earn from.
A waitlist is now open on DualMint, with early sign-ups receiving 24-hour early access to the upcoming crowdsale.
This isn’t a concept demo. It’s a farm designed for the needs of one of the world’s most densely-populated cities and built with real-world sustainability in mind:
The tokenized vertical farm was announced by peaq on the main stage of Korea Blockchain Week 2025, and will produce fresh greens for the local community, providing lettuce, kale, spinach, and more on a subscription basis. It will launch in Q4, 2025.
Bringing machines like this onchain — where real-world activity and cashflows can underpin tokens — opens a path to community co-ownership of real, working, yield-bearing robotics. It ties participation to real-world value and everyday economic activity, offering a potential hedge against weaker crypto market segments, and signals the emergence of a new asset category on peaq.
DualMint will be bringing more “Boring Robots” — tokenized machines working 24/7 to take on everyday tasks — to peaq in the future.

The waiting list is live. Early sign-ups receive 24-hour early access to the upcoming crowdsale.
“The beauty of the Boring Robots is in their immunity to crypto market swings. The demand for everyday groceries has nothing to do with where the crypto prices go tomorrow, which makes it a healthy, sustainable foundation for growth and yields. This applies to thousands of other applied robotics use cases, and peaq’s Machine Tokenization Framework is the key to billions’ worth of economic activity that they will create. We look forward to bringing these robots onchain on peaq — the layer-1 home of robotics pushing Web3 into the real world.”
— Bill Lee, co-founder and CEO of DualMint
“Vertical farms offer an exponentially eco-friendlier alternative to traditional farming, also made cheaper and more efficient by the latest advances in robotics and AI. They are a perfect solution for major urban areas like Hong Kong, where space must be used as efficiently as possible, and tokenization enables urban communities to co-own the very farms that bring fresh produce to their tables every day. DualMint and peaq make for perfect partners for bringing this vision to life due to their vast experience with and focus on real-world businesses, assets, and impact.”
— Dr. Princeton Wong, CFO of KanayaAI
“The rise of AI and robotics puts the world on a new trajectory, accelerating the automation process a thousandfold. It’s got people wondering if and when they’ll lose their jobs — because with traditional business models, the value generated by these increasingly intelligent machines is destined to be channeled to just a few companies. What we announced today is not just a breakthrough in technical or business terms — but an alternative route for humanity in the context of the Age of AI and Automation. A way for us all to share in the coming prosperity promised by AI and robotics, a way to co-own and earn from the robots — not fear them.”
— Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq
“The release of the world’s first tokenized machine is a fundamental shift in the crypto industry. Yield-generating machines that work more or less 24/7 are a whole new asset class in themselves. A lot of people look at stablecoin yields as the stable yield-generating asset, but nobody has machines and robots on their radar. Over time they will become even more efficient and more accessible, delivering even better APYs. They will give rise to a wide variety of machine-based financial use cases, and the tokens that represent them actually have intrinsic value. It’s thrilling to see peaq rise as the ultimate platform for this emerging asset class, unlocking machine-linked tokens for communities across the globe.”
