Peaq @peaq is seriously an underrated project! Just yesterday, Peaq announced the launch of its new mainnet, Get Real. The new mainnet signifies the proper realization of large-scale machine economies and high TPS. ① Energy Revenue Protocol combinderio @combinderio goes live on the mainnet Built on Peaq, combinderio has successfully unlocked: 1,000 devices running online simultaneously. This marks another major step forward for Peaq in the machine economy and modern energy revenue protocols! ② High TPS Get Real mainnet is coming soon ⏩ Current challenges faced by DePIN The machine economy is booming. With every new DePIN, device, and user joining the network, the demand for its infrastructure continues to grow. As the backbone of the machine economy, Peaq needs to provide an architecture that can scale sustainably for decades to come. ⏩ Peaq’s solution From a higher-dimensional perspective, Peaq achieves this through an elastic scaling approach (rather than a single method). This allows Peaq to generate blocks in parallel, complete blocks asynchronously, and scale as needed. Peaq adopts an elastic approach, using a loosely coupled architecture instead of a tightly coupled system. The block production process is split into multiple microservice-like components (called "cores") that can scale independently and on demand. The elastic approach can be broken down into four parts: - **Process splitting**: Block production → pre-validation → finalization are independent components, each capable of scaling on its own. - **On-demand capacity**: When load surges, new cores can be added elastically without requiring hard forks or runtime upgrades. - **Parallelization**: Production, pre-validation, and finalization run in parallel—while some blocks are being finalized, new blocks are already in production and validation. - **Decentralization**: Capacity comes from software orchestration rather than increasingly larger hardware, reducing single-channel bottlenecks and enabling broader participation. ⏩ Why elastic scaling is the way forward When building Peaq (the computer powering the machine economy), we envisioned billions of machines and human users. Peaq needs to scale with growing demand and adopt an architecture that addresses bottlenecks horizontally rather than vertically. High TPS and low block times are now live on Peaq’s testnet, and the mainnet is launching soon. You can check out the demo interface here: https://performance.peaq.xyz/
