Events are the atomic units of a machine's financial history. The EventRegistry contract stores them onchain; the MCR scoring pipeline reads them to compute credit ratings.
## Two event types
| Type | Value | Description |
| :------- | :---- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Revenue | `0` | The machine earned money. `value` carries the amount as a minor-unit integer (cents for USD/HKD, whole units for JPY/KRW) in the event's `currency`; the MCR scoring pipeline normalizes to USD cents via FX at the event timestamp. Single-event `submitEvent` resolves an omitted `currency` to `"USD"` for revenue and `""` for activity; batch submit requires an explicit `currency` per event. |
| Activity | `1` | The machine performed an action (telemetry, data generation, task completion). `value` may be 0. `currency` must be empty (`""`); non-empty currency on an activity event reverts `InvalidCurrencyShape`. |
Both SDKs export these as constants:
```typescript JS/TS theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
import {
EVENT_TYPE_REVENUE, // 0
EVENT_TYPE_ACTIVITY, // 1
} from "@peaqos/peaq-os-sdk";
```
```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
from peaq_os_sdk.constants import (
EVENT_TYPE_REVENUE, # 0
EVENT_TYPE_ACTIVITY, # 1
)
```
## MachineEvent schema
Every event stored in the EventRegistry follows this structure:
The SDKs expose the stored struct as `MachineEvent` (with `dataHash` / `data_hash` as a 32-byte `keccak256`). The SDK input type `SubmitEventParams` takes `rawData` / `raw_data` bytes instead; the SDK computes the hash for you before the call.
| Field | Type | Description |
| :-------------- | :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `machineId` | `uint256` | Machine identity from IdentityRegistry. Primary key linking event to machine. |
| `eventType` | `uint8` | `0` = revenue, `1` = activity. |
| `value` | `uint256` | Amount earned (revenue) or metric value (activity). May be 0 for activity events. Revenue events express `value` as an ISO 4217 minor-unit integer (cents for USD/HKD, whole units for JPY/KRW) in the event's `currency`. |
| `currency` | `string` | Revenue events: 3-10 char uppercase alphanumeric ISO 4217 code (e.g. `"USD"`, `"HKD"`, `"JPY"`). Activity events: empty string `""`. Validated on-chain. |
| `timestamp` | `uint256` | Unix timestamp when the event occurred, not when it was submitted. |
| `dataHash` | `bytes32` | `keccak256(raw_data)`. Raw data stays off-chain; hash proves integrity. |
| `trustLevel` | `uint8` | `0` = self-reported, `1` = on-chain verifiable, `2` = hardware-signed. |
| `sourceChainId` | `uint256` | Chain where the original activity occurred (e.g., 3338 for peaq, 8453 for Base). 0 for off-chain events. |
| `sourceTxHash` | `bytes32` | Transaction hash on the source chain. Combined with `sourceChainId`, creates a verifiable cross-chain link. Null for off-chain events. |
| `metadata` | `bytes` | Arbitrary bytes stored on-chain alongside the event (4096-byte cap). The MCR API server parses JSON metadata into the `event_data[].metadata` object surfaced on `/machine/{did}` for machines with `data_visibility: onchain`; the SDK only writes raw bytes. |
## Cross-chain revenue accounting
`sourceChainId` and `sourceTxHash` together form a cross-chain audit trail. When a machine earns revenue on Base, the proxy submits the event to the EventRegistry on peaq with `sourceChainId = 8453` and the Base transaction hash. Any verifier can look up the transaction on the source chain and confirm the event happened.
| Scenario | `sourceChainId` | `sourceTxHash` |
| :--------------------- | :-------------- | :-------------------- |
| Revenue earned on Base | `8453` | Base transaction hash |
| Revenue earned on peaq | `3338` | peaq transaction hash |
| Off-chain telemetry | `0` | null (`bytes32(0)`) |
## Data integrity via `dataHash`
Raw event data stays with the project (in their database, behind their API). The `dataHash` stored onchain is `keccak256(raw_data)`, computed by the SDK before submission. This keeps gas costs at 32 bytes per event regardless of payload size, while anyone can fetch the raw data from the project's `data_api` (set in the machine's DID) and verify `keccak256(fetched_data) == dataHash`.
```typescript JS/TS theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
import { computeDataHash } from "@peaqos/peaq-os-sdk";
const rawData = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]);
const hash = computeDataHash(rawData);
// hash === "0x..." (keccak256)
```
```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
from peaq_os_sdk.utils import compute_data_hash
raw_data = b"revenue data"
data_hash = compute_data_hash(raw_data)
# data_hash is 32 bytes (keccak256)
```
## Authorization
EventRegistry reads IdentityRegistry to verify submit authority. `msg.sender` must be one of:
| Path | Address | Use case |
| :------------- | :--------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| NFT owner | Identity NFT holder | The account that holds the Identity NFT submits directly. |
| Machine wallet | `machineWalletOf(machineId)` | The machine's registered wallet submits. Typical for self-managed flows where the machine signs its own transactions. |
| Operator | `operatorOf(machineId)` | Assigned operator submits on behalf of the machine. Only valid when an operator has been set (non-zero). |
All three paths produce identical on-chain records: the `machineId` in the stored event always identifies the machine, regardless of who submitted.
## Validation
The JS SDK exports `validateSubmitEventParams`, which checks all nine fields before any chain interaction:
```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
import { validateSubmitEventParams } from "@peaqos/peaq-os-sdk";
validateSubmitEventParams({
machineId: 1,
eventType: 0,
value: 100, // $1.00 in cents
currency: "USD",
timestamp: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),

Key validation rules:
* `eventType` must be 0 or 1
* `value` must be a non-negative integer (subunit, per ISO 4217 minor units)
* `trustLevel` must be 0, 1, or 2
* `sourceChainId` must be a supported chain (0, 3338, or 8453)
* When `trustLevel` is 1 (on-chain verifiable), `sourceTxHash` is required
* `rawData` must be non-empty when provided (null is allowed, empty array is not)
* `currency` on revenue events must match `^[A-Z0-9]{3,10}$`; on activity events it must be `""`
* `timestamp` must be a positive integer; the EventRegistry contract additionally rejects `timestamp > block.timestamp` (`FutureTimestamp` revert)
* `metadata` is capped at 4096 bytes on-chain (`MetadataTooLarge` revert above the limit)
