Building the Machine Economy: peaq’s Martin El-Khouri
Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/HRnFNzCf8kI Software is solved, hardware is different. Martin El-Khouri of peaq argues that the next wave of builders is moving from software to machines, because a moat built only on software is getting hard to defend. He explains why robots, cars and sensors need the same boring basics humans rely on, an identity, a wallet and a credit history, before a real machine economy can work. Martin El-Khouri, Head of Ecosystem and Business Development at peaq, walks through peaq's bet on the machine economy, the Audi and Porsche charging case that showed why machines need an open identity standard, why peaq took peaqOS omnichain to Solana and 23 other chains, what the 2.5 million machines on the dashboard really mean, how token bonding works under peaq's new economics, the Doosan Robotics partnership and demand for machine financing, the path from millions to billions of machines, and how peaq thinks about robot security and fake machine identities.
