# Peaq

> The Machine Economy Computer

Peaq helps you build DePIN applications by providing Layer-1 blockchain infrastructure with machine interaction functions.

Peaq provides machine identities, autonomous access control, data verification, and payment processing for decentralized physical infrastructure networks. Users can deploy devices with cryptographic identities that operate independently across energy, mobility, connectivity, and agriculture applications. Its modular architecture allows developers to customize machine interactions without building blockchain infrastructure from scratch.

## Products

- [Peaq Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/peaq): peaq Network is a layer-1 blockchain designed for DePINs and the Machine Economy, featuring modular functions for machine identities, access control, payments, and data verification. The network provides high throughput, low fees, specialized infrastructure for connecting billions of devices, and developer SDKs for JavaScript, Kotlin, Swift, and Flutter (L1, Live, Main Product)
- [peaq Portal](https://thegrid.id/profiles/peaq): peaq Portal provides wallet functionality and network interaction tools for managing PEAQ tokens, participating in governance, and accessing DePIN applications. The platform serves as the community hub for staking, voting, and monitoring network activity. (Wallet, Live)
- [peaq Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/peaq): peaq Explorer provides blockchain data visualization and transaction tracking for the peaq network. Users can explore blocks, transactions, addresses, and network statistics in real-time. (Block Explorer, Live)

## Assets

- [PEAQ (PEAQ)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/peaq): PEAQ is the native token of the peaq network, a layer-1 blockchain built for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks. It is used to pay transaction fees, stake with validators through Proof of Stake to secure the network, and vote on governance proposals. As the network's base currency, PEAQ also facilitates machine-to-machine micropayments, enabling connected devices to autonomously transact on the network. (Native)
