Question 1

What is Farmsent?

Accepted Answer

Farmsent is the world's first farmers' blockchain — now focused on building the hard and digital infrastructure that lets farmers own the value chain. Instead of acting as a sales agent for commodities, Farmsent builds the foundations — zones, energy, traceability, certification, financial and investment rails — on which farmers produce and sell the end product themselves.

Question 2

Why did Farmsent pivot from marketplace to infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Selling raw commodities is a high-risk gamble for the producer: a few bad years of yield or price can wipe a farmer out. Sustainable wealth arrives only when the farmer produces and sells the end product. Farmsent's mission is to provide the physical and digital foundations that make that transition possible — building the world where farmers cannot fail.

Question 3

What are Farmsent's six pillars?

Accepted Answer

Agri-focused Special Economic Zones for processing and export; sustainable energy, including a collective solar initiative in Indonesia; traceable branding through DePPs.io blockchain traceability — Verifiable Quality over brand hype; certification bodies such as Halal certification; financial rails for Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs); and investment rails such as contract farming and farming societies.

Question 4

Is Farmsent still a marketplace?

Accepted Answer

The farmer-to-wholesaler marketplace continues as a service inside the wider ecosystem, but it is no longer the core business. The core business is the infrastructure — hard (fencing, roads, cold storage, customs) and digital (agricultural sensors and stablecoin rails) — that lets farmers own the value chain.

Question 5

What is DePPs.io?

Accepted Answer

DePPs.io is the blockchain traceability layer Farmsent integrates into consumer brands, so a product's quality and provenance are verifiable on-chain — Verifiable Quality over brand hype.

Question 6

What is DePIN in Farmsent?

Accepted Answer

DePIN is decentralized physical infrastructure. Farmsent deploys a team of sensors that each receive a unique on-chain identity on the peaq blockchain, bridging the physical world of farming to transparent digital records. A 7-in-1 soil sensor measuring EC, pH, NPK, sun radiation, temperature and micro-weather is deployed today, with tree, supply-chain, NPK and weather sensors in development.

Question 7

What is the Farmsent Superapp?

Accepted Answer

An all-in-one Web3 application for farmers: email or Google login with no seed phrases and no gas fees, .grow Web3 addresses, fiat on/off ramps, sensor maps, and a doctor module bringing remote consultations to rural communities. It is powered by peaq, Arcana wallet abstraction and Unstoppable Domains — and its rails are designed to carry FPO payments, domestic and cross-border.

Question 8

What traceability and certification work has Farmsent done?

Accepted Answer

Rainbow Chicken — the first-ever on-chain Halal certification, from South Africa to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia — and a successful market entry through the Alosra supermarket in Bahrain. Certification bodies are being developed to open further high-value global markets.
