Peaq Opens Doors to the Tokenized Robo-Farm of the Future

Peaq, a blockchain network focusing on the so-called machine economy, has announced the launch of the world's first tokenized robo-farm. In collaboration with DualMint, a platform for tokenizing everyday business models, and KanayaAI, a Hong-Kong-based agritech company, this innovative project is designed to operate autonomously and significantly strengthen the food infrastructure. Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of Peaq, revealed details about the project at Korea Blockchain Week 2025, which aims to promote autonomous agriculture while achieving remarkable yields. The vertical farm, based on stacked layers in urban spaces, promises to create a sustainable model with a yield of about 20% and less resource consumption than traditional agriculture. The facility in Hong Kong is designed to achieve up to 12 harvest cycles annually, using one-tenth of the water and eliminating the need for pesticides. A new dimension of agricultural efficiency is opened by directly supplying fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, kale, and spinach, to urban residents on a subscription basis. Financially, the model is supported by tokenization, issuing the farm's revenues as non-fungible tokens on the Peaq blockchain. DualMint manages the tokenization process, while a waiting list for early investors is already available. The project combines state-of-the-art blockchain technology with automation and sustainable food production, seamlessly aligning with the growing trend of agricultural robotics. Initiatives with AI-supported robots, which assist with weeding and harvesting in controlled environments, are already common. However, challenges such as high investment and operating costs persist, particularly due to the energy required for lighting and climate control, which can limit scalability. Peaq aims to overcome these hurdles by linking farm revenues with consumer demand, offering both sustainable food and high-yield investment opportunities. The launch of the robo-farm is planned for the fourth quarter of 2025.
