# peaqOS overview

> The machine economy runs on peaqOS.

peaqOS is the operating system for the machine economy. It gives robots and machines an on-chain identity, a credit rating, and the infrastructure to earn, transact, and become investable across chains.

## peaqOS is omnichain

peaqOS contracts hold the canonical record of identity and credit on peaq chain. Any chain can query them; any chain can consume them.

  <Card title="Register" icon="id-card">
    Your machine gets a peaqID and Machine NFT on peaq chain.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Build Credit" icon="chart-line">
    Revenue and activity events feed into a Machine Credit Rating.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Go Omnichain" icon="globe">
    Any chain can query identity and credit from the MCR API. Machine NFTs bridge between peaq and Base via LayerZero V2 ONFT; additional peaqOS chains are added as peer contracts deploy.

## Functions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Activate" icon="bolt">
    Put your machine on-chain: peaqID, Machine NFT, and bond. Self-managed and proxy operator onboarding patterns both supported.

    Read the [Activate function](/peaqos/functions/activate).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Qualify" icon="gauge">
    Machine Credit Rating built from a machine's revenue and activity history. The MCR API exposes ratings to any chain.

    Read the [Qualify function](/peaqos/functions/qualify).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Scale (coming soon)" icon="network-wired">
    Pair an AI agent that transacts and consumes services on your machine's behalf. Fleet orchestration and omnichain expansion.

    Read the [Scale function](/peaqos/functions/scale).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Verify (coming soon)" icon="shield-check">
    Prove a machine is real via hardware attestation and trusted third parties.

    Read the [Verify function](/peaqos/functions/verify).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Monetize (coming soon)" icon="coins">
    List your machine's services. Other machines and agents discover and buy them.
