Question 1

What is RPC in Peaq?

Accepted Answer

peaq is a Layer-1 blockchain built for the machine economy and DePIN, using a Substrate-based architecture with Nominated Proof-of-Stake consensus, EVM compatibility, and protocol-level modules for machine identity, access control, payments, and data verification.

Question 2

Why does Peaq use RPC?

Accepted Answer

It was designed for networks where physical devices (vehicles, robots, sensors, and other hardware) need to identify themselves, prove the data they produce, and receive payments without a central intermediary. A general-purpose smart contract chain leaves each project to build these functions separately. peaq provides them as shared building blocks, so DePIN teams can use ready-made identity, permissions, and payment logic instead of writing it as custom contracts.

Question 3

How to use Peaq RPC?

Accepted Answer

peaq is built on Substrate, which supplies on-chain governance and forkless upgrades, and adds an EVM layer so developers can deploy Solidity contracts with standard Ethereum tooling. The DePIN functions are exposed as modular components through the peaq SDK: peaq ID gives each machine a W3C-standard decentralized identifier, role-based access control manages permissions between machines and applications, and further modules cover machine payments, storage for verifying machine-signed data, and a shared machine time reference.
