peaq, the blockchain network powering the so-called Machine Economy, has unveiled the world’s first tokenized robo-farm. This groundbreaking initiative merges blockchain tokenization, artificial intelligence, and robotics to establish a semi-autonomous vertical farming system.
As per a press release shared with Cryptopolitan, the project is a joint effort between peaq, a tokenization platform, DualMint, and urban agritech firm KanayaAI. The announcement took place during the ongoing Korean Blockchain Week at the Grand Walkerhill Seoul.

This innovative farm, situated in Hong Kong, will focus on cultivating lettuce, kale, spinach, and various leafy greens. Once operational in the fourth quarter of 2025, residents will have the option to subscribe to home delivery services.
peaq Revolutionizes Urban Farming with Automation
The developers of the Machine Economy state that the system automates approximately 80% of farming tasks, including planting, monitoring, and harvesting. By leveraging hydroponics, robotics, and smart climate controls, the system ensures efficiency and consistency.
KanayaAI is responsible for designing, constructing, and operating the farm, while DualMint manages the tokenization process using peaq’s blockchain infrastructure.
The facility is capable of conducting around 12 crop cycles annually, a significant increase compared to the three or four cycles in traditional agriculture. The AI-powered systems are anticipated to cut labor costs by half while boosting crop production by 20% compared to conventional farms.
The farm touts using only one-tenth of the water consumed in conventional agriculture, eliminating the need for pesticides, and utilizing land ten times more effectively, aligning with Hong Kong’s sustainability goals.
Income from the farm will be represented by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on peaq, allowing token holders to earn yields based on the farm’s revenue. A waitlist for the sale is now live on both DualMint’s website and the peaq portal.
Developers Advocate for Efficiency of Tokenized Robo-Farms
DualMint touts the farm as the first in a series of “Boring Robots,” machines that handle routine tasks while generating consistent revenue.
Bill Lee, co-founder and CEO of DualMint, highlights the resilience of Boring Robots to crypto market fluctuations. “The demand for everyday groceries remains unaffected by crypto price fluctuations, making this system a stable foundation for growth and returns,” he explains.
Lee reveals that his company has numerous applications and robotic use cases across different industries, poised to drive billions of dollars in on-chain economic activity.
Executives at KanayaAI emphasize the ecological and practical advantages of vertical farms in urban settings.
Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq, views the project as a progressive approach to automation in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). “Today’s announcement signifies not just a technical or business breakthrough, but a new path for humanity in the Age of AI and Automation,” he concludes.
The announcement of the Hong Kong farm follows peaq’s recent collaboration with the UAE and Pulsar Group.
The Machine Economy Free Zone Dubai initiative serves as a testing ground for regulatory backing, infrastructure, and investments in decentralized machine economy applications, including networks for decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN).
Trump Family Participates in Korea Blockchain Week
On a different note, members of the Trump family attended and spoke at the Korea Blockchain Week earlier this week.
Donald Trump Jr., co-founder of American Bitcoin, and Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, used the platform to promote their ventures and advocate for crypto adoption under the Trump administration.
Eric Trump commended South Korea for embracing digital assets, similar to the United States, and praised the country’s progress in establishing a legal and institutional framework for cryptocurrencies.
“Korea’s trajectory positions it to become a leading force in the blockchain industry in Asia, just like America,” he remarked.
