How to buy peaq (PEAQ)

How to buy and use peaq (PEAQ) on its native network

Buying peaq (PEAQ) requires identifying the correct network to avoid loss of funds. PEAQ is a layer-1 blockchain designed for the Machine Economy, specifically focusing on DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) and robotics. Because PEAQ exists on its own native network and as a token on other chains, users must verify which version they are purchasing and where they intend to store it.

What the native network does

The peaq network is an economic system that allows robots and machines to conduct business across different blockchains. It is a neutral coordination layer that provides machines, such as vehicles, sensors, and AI agents, with verifiable identities and wallets.

The architecture is divided into three layers:

1. The Machine Layer (peaqOS) is the entry point for machines to become economic actors. It handles identity, payment infrastructure, and data verification.
2. The Trust Layer manages registries and settlement logic. Trust Validators verify identities and compute reputation scores.
3. The Service Layer connects machines to external markets through a permissionless framework.

Peaq has integrated World ID into peaqOS. This uses zero-knowledge proofs to provide privacy-preserving proof of personhood for coordination between humans and machines in DePIN applications.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

Users must use the correct contract address based on the network they are using. Sending PEAQ to the wrong network address will result in a permanent loss of funds.

Network activity and transaction status can be verified using the peaq explorer.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving PEAQ from an exchange to a private wallet carries risks. Deposit and withdrawal support for specific networks is not verified for the listed exchanges unless explicitly stated by the exchange. Users should check the withdrawal network on the exchange before initiating a transfer.

Common risks include:

• Using a lookalike contract address. Always verify addresses via the official website.
• Assuming all exchanges support the same networks for deposits and withdrawals.
• Ignoring KYC requirements or country restrictions, which vary by platform.

Sources and methodology

Routes are sourced exclusively from verified market-pair rows in our database. Web research and news are used for background context and risk analysis. Information from CoinMarketCap pages is treated as low-confidence context. Live market values, such as price and volume, are omitted because they change too frequently for a static guide.
