peaq Network is on the verge (and positively so) of a highly anticipated launch, scheduled for October 2024.

This will most definitely be a pivotal moment for everyone involved, as peaq is designed to boost an upgrade in decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) and real-world assets (RWAs).

peaq’s launch has captured significant attention all around the globe due to its focus on tangible use cases, partnerships, and steady drive for powering machines and devices in various industries.

If you ask me whether or not there has ever been a blockchain this year with this much traction at pre-launch, I’ll tell you that peaq stands out on all counts.

Allow me to indulge you as we go deeper into what makes this launch so exceptional.

Why peaq?

peaq Network is a Layer-1 blockchain that serves as the infrastructure for — as I’ve mentioned earlier — DePINs and machine RWAs.

A lot of blockchain networks place focus on digital assets and financial instruments. peaq’s aim, on the other hand, is to power real-world applications, thus enabling machines, devices, and other forms of physical infrastructure to become part of a big decentralized ecosystem.

The aim above sets the peaq Network apart when it comes to solving real-world challenges. Enabling those machines to communicate, collaborate, and transact with one another autonomously, creates a decentralized economy for the Internet of Things (IoT).

In simplicity, peaq is that blockchain that will allow your car, your home, and your devices to operate more efficiently, securely, and without centralized control, as a single unit… upon launch.

Pre-launch

peaq Network’s launch is bringing in quite an impressive number of 45+ DePINs on-chain, each of which represents a unique piece of physical infrastructure integrated into the decentralized web.

Here are some notable examples of such DePINs:

  1. Silencio is a DePIN that deals with turning noise frequency waves to cash inflow while being onboard the very fundamentals of decentralization.
  2. MapMetrics is a DePIN for crowd-sourced data, particularly focused on smart cameras. It utilizes your real-time data to earn you rewards.
  3. The Teneo network helps users scale through financial stress, operational and regulatory, “to preserve value in times of uncertainty.”
  4. farmsent as a decentralized agriculture network is aimed at improving food supply chains by funding farmers and farmlands, to lower food inflation in areas where the network operates.
  5. NATIX, a smartphone mapping DePIN shares the same (almost the same) views MapMetrics does, “incentivizing users to map their surroundings,” in addition to the Drive& AI-powered dash cam app.
  6. charge.xyz is a DePIN for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
  7. XMAQUINA focuses on machine automation and robotics.
  8. Roam takes inspiration from “roaming” and is all about roaming network services, where users share performance data of their wireless mobile sim card networks to earn some income in return.

The above are just a few of the 45+ DePINs that will be coming on-chain as part of peaq’s launch.

Each DePIN serves a unique role in building a decentralized physical infrastructure, representing industries that range from agriculture to mobility, data storage, aviation, and even fashion.

peaq is set to enter 20 industries through its decentralized solutions. These industries include:

  • Weather services
  • Cybersecurity
  • Smart homes
  • Delivery services
  • Healthcare
  • Gold/precious metals

Each of the above industries will feel the touch of peaq’s decentralized infrastructure with new levels of efficiency, security, and autonomy.

It doesn’t end there.

peaq Network has forged partnerships with over 23 DePIN-relevant enterprises that bring significant credibility to its ecosystem.

These include Airbus, which is one of the largest aerospace corporations in the world, and are not limited to:

- BOSCH

- Audi

- Continental

- Mastercard

- Coinlist

- Fraunhofer

The Big Deal About peaq

There are a lot of potential decentralized networks in traditional industries that are yet to be discovered. peaq knows this and is driving a DePIN revolution where they can showcase their potential and drive real-world adoption.

peaq’s impact is massive. Over a million vehicles, machines, robots, and devices are set to integrate with the peaqosystem.

Its vision/mission is being realized for a machine-driven economy. A total machine value (TMV) of $700 million has been amassed already.

With 850,000+ users across 180+ countries, peaq is already a global project with a dedicated user base, and peaq’s team has also teased them with 10+ major announcements related to its launch.

What Sets This Blockchain Apart?

While there really have been blockchain projects with strong launches in the past, only a few have come close to the level of real-world application and enterprise traction that peaq has achieved so far.

Instead of sleeping on speculative decentralized financial use cases, peaq Network has been designed to solve real-world problems by bringing machines, robots, and other devices and physical infrastructure into its decentralized ecosystem.

Partnerships from global giants like Bosch, Airbus, and Audi, have all established peaq as a credible and trusted player in the blockchain space. Who wouldn’t want to collaborate with a network with a vision as long-sighted as a hawk on a telescope?

850,000+ users across 180+ countries agree to its worldwide appeal and genuine readiness for mass adoption, which is why peaq Network’s launch will mark the beginning of a new era for decentralized infrastructure and is poised to be one of the most significant in the history of DePINs.

peaq is ultimately setting a new standard for what a blockchain launch can achieve. So, whether or not there has ever been a chain with this much traction at launch this year is up for debate, but it is clear that peaq Network is positioned to make a lasting impact on the web3 landscape.

The countdown to launch is nearly touching the ground as it continues. The blockchain community eagerly awaits the next chapter in peaq’s journey.

As the team itself said, “It’s time for crypto to get real,” and peaq Network is leading the charge.
