Sunrise, the popular asset gateway powered by Wormhole, has listed $PEAQ on Solana, giving wallets, DEXs, and aggregators direct access to the token behind the network's Machine Economy.
$PEAQ, peaq's native token, is being listed 1 day after the peaq Economics 2.0 model went live on mainnet. The upgrade introduces machine bonding, tying the activation and continued operation of robots and machines to $PEAQ while removing bonded tokens from circulation.
Sunrise frames the launch as bringing a new asset class, Liquid Machines, to Solana.
$PEAQ Arrives as Machine Bonding Goes Live
peaq aims to turn robots, vehicles, devices, and other machines into onchain economic actors. Through peaqOS, machines receive identities, wallets across chains, and credit ratings that allow them to buy services, sell what they produce, and prove their activity.
Economics 2.0 now adds a direct economic connection between machine adoption and $PEAQ. Every machine that activates through peaqOS bonds $PEAQ for its active lifetime. Machines do not need to use $PEAQ for every payment. Instead, they can transact in assets such as $SOL and stablecoins, while $PEAQ represents the economic commitment behind their participation.
Phase 1 began with roughly 1 million machines scheduled to activate this week, followed by the remainder of peaq's 3.3 million-machine network over the following weeks.
Simon Dedic, founder and managing partner of Moonrock Capital, expressed that he expects that number to “absolutely explode” over the coming months.
Economics 2.0 Creates a New Token Flow
The new model allocates newly issued $PEAQ and network transaction fees across 4 destinations. Trust Validator staking receives 30%, the Machine Pool receives 30%, the Treasury receives 20%, and the Activation Token Provision Pool receives 20%.
The system also introduces Growth Credits, which productive machines can use only to activate additional machines. Bonding Rewards instead provide renewal discounts rather than liquid rewards that could create selling pressure.
Machine exits also affect supply. After a 14-day grace period and 14-day runoff period, 50% of a machine's remaining bonded position gets permanently burned while the other 50% goes to the Treasury.
peaq has launched the Machine Explorer to track activations, bonds, economic flows, and burns in real time. Over 240,000 machines have currently been activated at the time of writing.
Machines Are Already Transacting on Solana
The move to Solana extends beyond token trading. Machines running peaqOS have already paid for services on Solana through robotic.sh, peaq's marketplace for machine-consumable services. Those transactions use $USDT through Tether's Wallet Development Kit.
peaq also demonstrated the system using LG robots inside CLOiSim, LG's robotics simulation environment. ServeBots equipped with peaqOS identities and Tether WDK wallets delivered room service and received $USDT payments onchain without requiring a person to approve each transaction.
Through robotic.sh, peaqOS machines already consume services from Tether's QVAC, Arcium, Akash, Acurast, GEODNET, and World ID.
The full peaqOS stack will roll out on Solana incrementally, while upcoming Machine Financing products aim to let hardware builders raise capital for deployments and allow Solana users to own and trade exposure to machines.
Sunrise Listings Help Fuel StonkFun’s MemeStock Surge
Sunrise’s growing roster of assets being brought to Solana has inadvertently helped create a new playground for Solana degens. On platforms such as StonkFun, meme tokens, traditional assets, and stocks increasingly converge. The result is a growing collection of meme/stock pairs that allow traders to speculate on traditional equities through a crypto-native market structure.
This activity has already produced significant trading volume. The ‘Sunrise’ tab on the StonkFun website highlights some major examples of this phenomenon. $BUTT, paired with $TAO (a Sunrise listing), has generated more than $1.3m in volume. $ELONCOIN and $RUNNER, both paired with popular memecoin $DOGE (brought to Solana by Sunrise), have each recorded over $1 million in volume. Other Sunrise-linked markets have also attracted substantial activity.
Sunrise’s role sits at the center of that activity by bringing new assets to Solana with live liquidity, giving platforms such as StonkFun the underlying markets needed to experiment with these pairings.
