An economy to set machines free

Machines do business and become assets across chains, ready for stablecoins.

One goal: machines that earn, pay, and are trusted anywhere

peaq Economics gives robots and machines a predictable way in, and the standing to do business once they are in. Four design choices follow.

Pricing

Predictable in dollars

Activation is priced in USD, so operators plan in dollars.

Payments

Paid in any currency

Stablecoins, SOL, ETH, or fiat. peaq replaces no payment rail.

Trust

Trust that travels

Identity, credit score, and standing follow the machine to every chain.

Value

Value flows back

Fees and newly minted $PEAQ go to those who grow the network.

Economic Weight

To get in, a machine bonds $PEAQ. That bond is its Economic Weight.

Economic Weight is a machine's standing: what lets it exist onchain, be identified, and do business anywhere.

  1. 1

    Bond

    Activation converts a dollar price into $PEAQ and locks it to the Machine ID.

  2. 2

    Renew

    Each year the machine bonds again. Weight compounds, and the bond is never withdrawn.

  3. 3

    Participate

    Weight sets priority, access, credit standing, and financing eligibility on every connected chain.

Staked by Trust Validators

Validators and delegators stake $PEAQ to verify machines and earn from every revenue stream.

Governed by stakers

Staked $PEAQ votes on credit score criteria, slashing, validator rules, and accepted currencies.

Settled in dollars

Priced in USD, activations and renewals settle into bonded $PEAQ at the oracle rate.

From activation to renewal, in four steps

Each step has its own page in this section.

1Activate

Pay in dollars

A fixed yearly price per machine, paid on the chain the machine lives on.

2Bond

$PEAQ locks to the machine

The bond becomes the machine's Economic Weight and stays locked while it works.

3Coordinate

Do business, pay small fees

Trust Validators attest the work. Fees and newly minted $PEAQ go to those who grow the network.

4Renew or leave

Bond again, or half is burned

Renewing deepens the weight. Not renewing burns half the bond, half goes to the Treasury.

Machine adoption is token demand.

Each activation locks $PEAQ to a machine, each yearly renewal adds to it, and a machine that is not renewed burns half of it.
