Chirp Network partners with peaq to offer universal connectivity for DePINs

peaq, the layer-1 blockchain for DePIN and machine RWAs, is expanding its ecosystem with the addition of telecommunications provider Chirp Network. Chirp is set to deliver powerful decentralized connectivity for smart devices on peaq, revolutionizing the way data is exchanged over various protocols and distances.

Chirp’s “Blackbird” gateway devices, already operational in 33 countries, provide connectivity for IoT hardware through channels like LoRaWAN, LoRa 2.4 gHz, and BLE. With Chirp’s LTE networks, these gateways can connect devices globally, enabling seamless data exchange for entire networks and fleets.

The first DePIN in the peaq ecosystem to utilize Chirp Network’s connectivity layer is XMAQUINA, the world’s first fully autonomous tokenized robot cafe. This tokenized robotic barista, showcased at the TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai, will leverage Chirp to communicate with peaq and operate autonomously.

Chirp will also provide connectivity for projects like ELOOP and Silencio on peaq, enabling tokenized investment in DePINs and rewarding users with crypto for collecting noise pollution data, respectively.

Tim Kravchunovsky, founder of Chirp Network, emphasizes the importance of true decentralization in infrastructure, stating that the integration with peaq brings DePIN builders one step closer to a user-run backbone. Till Wendler, co-founder of peaq, highlights the significance of decentralized connectivity for DePINs, noting that Chirp’s agnostic approach to wireless protocols will facilitate the onboarding of a large number of IoT devices onto the blockchain.

The integration between Chirp and peaq not only enhances the connectivity options for DePIN projects but also solidifies peaq’s position as a leading layer-1 blockchain for decentralized physical infrastructure networks.
