Any chain
Activate on any chain
A machine on Solana or Base activates there, and its $PEAQ is bonded from there. Its standing anchors on peaq either way.
Counter-cyclical
Lower price, deeper bond
Prices are in dollars, so a lower $PEAQ price means each activation bonds more tokens.
Not renewed
Half the bond is burned
If a machine isn't renewed after its year: 14 days of grace, then a 14-day runoff. Half the bond is burned, half goes to the Treasury.
Once activated, the machine can do business
It is discoverable through peaqOS, can pay and get paid, prove what it did, and be trusted by parties it has never met. Each of those is a coordination event.
Set through governance
Prices, fees, and allocations can change through governance.
Structural, not live
Figures come from the Economics 2.0 paper. For live numbers, see the Machine Explorer.
