Challenge

Web3 adoption was abstract—too far removed from real-world value.

Decentralized infrastructure (DePIN) projects had revolutionary potential, but lacked incentives for people to participate at scale. Without user onboarding and proof of value, these networks couldn’t deliver on their promise of powering the machine economy. Onboarding was technical. Engagement was low.

The industry needed a way to connect physical actions with digital rewards, and make Web3 real.

Solution

peaq launched Get Real—Web3’s largest DePIN-focused campaign designed to incentivize real-world impact through quests, NFTs, and tokenized rewards.

Anyone could mint a peaqonaut NFT avatar, complete real-world tasks across multiple industries, and evolve their collectible through performance. From installing EV charging apps to contributing compute power, every task was tied to a real outcome—and rewarded transparently.

Key pillars of the solution:

  • ✅ 12+ seasons of gamified quests across 14 industries
  • ✅ $PEAQ token rewards backed by 5% of total supply
  • ✅ Dynamic NFT avatars with rarity based on XP & NP
  • ✅ No complex onboarding—just real actions for real value
  • ✅ Season-based evolution, with tools like Galxe and peaq portal integration

NFTs: Real-World-Linked, Dynamic & Evolving

NFTs in the Get Real campaign are dynamic avatars called peaqonauts [2424], designed to evolve based on user participation and real-world contributions.

How They Work:

🔄 Dynamic Components:

  • The NFT evolves over time by gaining XP (experience points) and NP (NFT points) as users complete quests tied to real-world DePIN activities.
  • These points update the visual traits and rarity of the NFT, such as gear, badges, or faction-specific items.

🧠 On-Chain vs Off-Chain:

  • The base NFT and metadata (e.g., avatar traits, faction) are on-chain.
  • XP/NP progression is calculated off-chain, then reflected through metadata updates, which are pushed on-chain periodically to maintain decentralization and verifiability.

🌍 Real-World Link:

  • Each task (e.g., installing an app, connecting a sensor, sharing compute power) is logged and validated through DePIN services.
  • Completion of these tasks boosts your NFT avatar’s progression, making it a verifiable representation of your real-world contributions to decentralized infrastructure.

🎮 Use Cases:

  • These NFTs act as both game avatars and identity badges, unlocking exclusive gear, merch, and bonus rewards across seasons.

Impact

The campaign set a new standard for how DePIN adoption can be catalyzed through storytelling and token incentives.

Since Season 1 launch:

  • 📈 Thousands of users onboarded via real-world quests
  • 🔧 7 DePINs live with onchain quests; others in the pipeline
  • 🧩 First campaign to tie NFT rarity to real-world contribution
  • 🌐 Strengthened peaq’s role as the go-to network for DePIN
  • 📉 UX challenges addressed quickly, showing agile iteration

By combining lore, utility, and gamification, Get Real positioned itself as a blueprint for incentivized infrastructure growth.
