$PEAQ Verify is a pretty important step for the machine economy. A machine having an onchain identity is useful, but there still has to be a way to know the machine behind that identity is actually real. That’s what caught my attention here. The machine’s secure chip signs a challenge, peaq checks that against the manufacturer’s certificate chain, and the business operating it gets verified as well. That information is then tied back to the machine’s onchain identity. Why does that matter? If machines are going to generate data, earn revenue, get rated or eventually be financed, people need a way to verify what they’re actually dealing with. You can’t build much of an economy around machines if the first question is still, “Is this machine even real?” That’s the part of Verify I think is bigger than the feature itself. Fade $PEAQ at your own risk. https://x.com/peaq/status/2105655802174533711/video/1
