Research summary

Peaq

Peaq enables entrepreneurs and developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) for vehicles, robots, and devices, while empowering users to govern and earn as connected machines provide goods and services.

Project summary

Peaq network is a Polkadot Parachain and a Layer 1 Blockchain supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts. The Peaq network enables machines to provide and render services and become fully self-sufficient by leveraging peer-to-peer (p2p) technologies such as Machine NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and novel economic mechanisms to align the incentives of all Economy of Things stakeholders, namely; machines, machine owners, manufacturers, individuals/users, organizations and investors, while incentivising the deployment of more machines to the network.

Peaq’s novel DeFi mechanisms are built to finance new machines, maximize their profitability, enable shared ownership (via Machine NFTs) and make them self-sufficient. Peaq bridges machines manufactured by enterprises which reside on the Internet of Things to the Economy of Things by providing them with decentralized identity (SSI), access and payment capabilities.
