Forward-looking developers and builders use .xyz domains to power the next generation of machine intelligence and autonomous infrastructure. AI research company AMILabs.xyz, co-founded by Yann LeCun, is focused on building world models for real-world intelligence. AI data infrastructure Hub.xyz builds a distributed network for real-time machine intelligence. AI Scientist platform PathIntegral.xyz is designed to support global collaboration and accelerate scientific discovery. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to a layer-1 blockchain building economic infrastructure for autonomous machines and the apps that run on them: peaq.xyz.
peaq.xyz is the online home of peaq, a layer-1 blockchain designed to serve as infrastructure for the Machine Economy, a framework in which robots, vehicles, devices, and AI agents operate as autonomous economic actors. According to the website, the platform gives machines the identity, wallets, credit ratings, and financial rails needed to transact, earn, and be financed independently, across multiple supported chains. peaq.xyz states that peaq is currently home to 60+ applications across 22 industries, with more than 6 million robots, machines, and humans onboarded and over 48 million transactions processed by machines to date (as of May 20, 2026). In March 2024, peaq announced a $15M pre-launch funding round led by venture firms GenVentures.xyz and Borderless Capital, with participation from additional investors including Animoca Brands, Spartan Group, and HV Capital, among others.1
The platform’s core product is peaqOS, described on peaq.xyz as an operating system that turns robots and machines into financial assets and economic actors. According to the documentation, peaqOS gives any machine a decentralized identifier, an omnichain wallet, a Machine NFT representing it as a financial asset, and a live credit rating ranging from AAA to NR, queryable by any counterparty on any supported chain. This positions peaq within the emerging field of physical AI, where autonomous machines operate not just as tools but as independent participants in financial systems. Several applications built on peaqOS illustrate how this infrastructure translates into real-world products.
RiceAI.xyz — According to its website, RICE AI aims to advance the development of AGI robots through a decentralized framework, and is backed by Rice Robotics, a Hong Kong-based robotics company. As reported by CoinDesk in July 2025, Rice Robotics has robots deployed at SoftBank’s Tokyo headquarters, Mitsui Fudosan’s Tokyo Midtown Yaesu property, and 7-Eleven Japan stores. CoinDesk also reported that the company is part of the Nvidia Inception program and raised $7M in pre-Series A funding from investors including the Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, Soul Capital, Audacy Ventures, Sun Hung Kai & Co., and Cyberport HK.2
MachineX.xyz — The MachineX website describes the platform as an onchain marketplace for trading DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) tokens within the Machine Economy on peaq. A portion of each trade fee is directed toward peaq’s Machine Subsidization Treasury, which the website describes as investing in machines and devices to be added to DePINs within the network.
peaq is co-founded by Till Wendler and Max Thake. According to Till’s LinkedIn profile, Till has served as a founder of peaq since May 2020 and previously held the role of Head of Operations at Advanced Blockchain AG, described on his profile as the first blockchain company listed on the Xetra (Frankfurt) stock exchange. Till also co-founded EoT Labs, which according to his LinkedIn profile, develops and supports open-source projects focused on the Economy of Things. As shared on Max’s LinkedIn profile, Max has served as co-founder of peaq since May 2020 and is a fellow of the Sigma Squared Society, a non-profit global community of founders selected for impact-driven initiatives.
The innovative platform enters this next chapter with $15M in funding, 60+ applications across 22 industries, and a founding team with deep roots in blockchain infrastructure, building toward a future where autonomous machines are active participants in the global economy, not just tools operated by humans. That vision is already attracting builders across the .xyz community, with projects like RiceAI.xyz and MachineX.xyz choosing to build on peaqOS as they develop their own approaches to the machine economy. peaq is a platform whose work spans robotics, AI, DePIN, and decentralized finance, making .xyz a natural fit, generic by design, unbounded by industry, and widely adopted by the deep tech and startup projects defining what comes next. We look forward to seeing what peaq, and the community building on it, accomplishes. You can learn more by following the platform on X/Twitter and LinkedIn @peaqxyz, and visiting peaq.xyz.
