Welcome to the World’s First Machine Economy Free Zone in the UAE

peaq and Pulsar Group have launched the Machine Economy Free Zone (MEFZ) in the UAE – it is the world’s first regulatory and physical sandbox dedicated to decentralized machine infrastructure. This initiative provides a structured environment for testing and scaling tokenized robots, autonomous vehicles, and other DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) systems. It bridges the gap between code, regulation, and deployment, offering builders, investors, and policymakers a unified space to experiment and collaborate.

Key Ideas

MEFZ Is Built on Four Strategic Pillars: Regulation - Testing compliant machine tokenization, Deployment - Physical and virtual sandboxes for smart city applications, Investment - Connecting DePINs with regional capital and the Innovation Hub - Supporting R&D for decentralized infrastructure.
Piloting Machine RWAs and Universal Basic Ownership (UBO): The zone will trial tokenized machine assets (Machine RWAs) and introduce UBO, a framework for redistributing machine-generated income to local communities—ensuring automation benefits are shared equitably.

Why It Matters?

The technologu allows startups to use the UBO framework to position your product as a community co-owned utility and in this way lower adoption barriers and attract socially conscious investors.
