peaq

Market context

peaq is relevant as infrastructure for machine networks, not as a robotics builder. It belongs in the software and network layer where robots, vehicles and connected devices may need identity, payments or coordination rails. Proprietary layer-1 blockchain and machine-economy software infrastructure. Does not build robots directly.

• Capability: Machine identity and coordination Tokenized machine rails DePIN application infrastructure Robot, vehicle and device integration support
• Strategic position: Infrastructure layer for machine-native applications, including robotics and autonomous systems. Fits the protocol and application-infrastructure layer rather than the robotics OEM layer
