PEAQ x PICKSPOT

Pickspot, a decentralized network of smart parcel lockers across Africa, has chosen peaq as its foundational blockchain. This partnership positions peaq at the core of Africa’s rapidly expanding last-mile delivery market, essential for supporting the continent's booming e-commerce sector, which is projected to reach $46.1 billion by 2025. With Pickspot Network, individuals can set up community-owned parcel lockers in high-traffic areas, mint them as NFTs, and earn rewards for every parcel delivered. This model not only simplifies parcel logistics but also supports local businesses and P2P trade, helping to address infrastructure gaps like unreliable roads and limited technology access.

Pickspot's integration with peaq will enhance the security and efficiency of the logistics system by using peaq IDs for identity management and smart contracts for minting lockers as NFTs. The project will be tested on peaq’s testnet, Agung, and its canary chain, Krest, before launching on the peaq mainnet. This community-driven model enables Pickspot to evolve alongside local growth and demand, revolutionizing last-mile delivery in underserved regions.

The integration of peaq with Pickspot highlights the growing role of decentralized networks in solving real-world logistical challenges, empowering communities, and boosting economic development across Africa.
