peaq, the blockchain network powering the Machine Economy, has unveiled the world’s first tokenized robo-farm. This innovative project combines blockchain tokenization, artificial intelligence, and robotics to establish a semi-autonomous vertical farming system.
As per a press release shared with Cryptopolitan, the collaboration between peaq, DualMint, and KanayaAI has resulted in the creation of this groundbreaking initiative. The announcement took place during the ongoing Korean Blockchain Week at Grand Walkerhill Seoul.

This robo-farm, situated in Hong Kong, will focus on cultivating lettuce, kale, spinach, and various other leafy greens. Upon its operational launch in the fourth quarter of 2025, residents will have the opportunity to subscribe to home delivery services.
peaq Revolutionizes Urban Farming with Automation
The developers of the Machine Economy highlight that the system automates approximately 80% of farming tasks, such as planting, monitoring, and harvesting. By utilizing hydroponics, robotics, and smart climate controls, the system ensures efficiency and consistency.
KanayaAI is responsible for designing, constructing, and managing the farm, while DualMint oversees the tokenization process through peaq’s blockchain infrastructure.
The facility is projected to conduct around 12 crop cycles per year, significantly more than traditional agriculture methods. The AI-powered systems are expected to cut labor costs in half while increasing crop yield by 20% compared to conventional farms.
Claiming to use one-tenth of the water used in traditional agriculture, the farm is pesticide-free and utilizes land ten times more efficiently, aligning with Hong Kong’s sustainability objectives.
The revenue streams of the farm will be represented by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on peaq, offering token holders the opportunity to earn yields based on the farm’s income. A waitlist for the sale is now live on both DualMint’s website and the peaq portal.
Efficiency of Tokenized Robo-Farms
DualMint promotes the robo-farm as the first in a series of “Boring Robots,” machines that handle routine tasks while generating consistent cash flow.
Bill Lee, co-founder and CEO of DualMint, emphasizes the resilience of Boring Robots against crypto market fluctuations. He envisions these systems as a sustainable foundation for growth and yields, independent of crypto price volatility.
With more applications and robotic use cases across various industries, DualMint anticipates facilitating billions of dollars in economic activity on-chain.
KanayaAI executives echo the ecological and practical advantages of vertical farms in urban settings.
Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq, describes the project as an innovative approach to automation in the era of artificial intelligence (AI).
“Today’s announcement represents not only a technological and business breakthrough but also a new path for humanity in the Age of AI and Automation,” he concludes.
The introduction of the Hong Kong farm follows peaq’s recent initiative with the UAE and Pulsar Group.
The Machine Economy Free Zone Dubai project serves as a testing ground for decentralized machine economy applications, including networks for decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN).
Trump Family Participation at Korea Blockchain Week
In other news, members of US President Donald Trump’s family attended and spoke at Korea Blockchain Week.
Donald Trump Jr., co-founder of American Bitcoin, and Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, highlighted their businesses and promoted crypto adoption under the Trump administration.
Eric Trump commended South Korea for embracing digital assets and expressed admiration for the country’s progress in establishing a legal and institutional framework for cryptocurrencies.
“This trajectory indicates that Korea is positioned to become the leading blockchain hub in Asia, much like America,” he remarked.
