Powerledger (POWR) has officially
completed its integration with the Solana ecosystem, accelerating
the pace of innovation in the global sustainability markets. This
move combines Solana’s cutting-edge blockchain technology with
Powerledger’s proven energy and environmental commodities trading
and energy tracking solutions, setting the stage for faster, more
efficient, and cost-effective clean energy solutions worldwide.
On October 1, 2024, Powerledger began the deprecation of its own
blockchain, marking a transition for the POWR token across both
Ethereum and Solana. This dual-chain approach unlocks potential for
the tokenisation, trading, and tracking of renewable energy assets,
including excess clean energy, renewable energy certificates (RECs)
and carbon credits (CCs), while driving global environmental
accountability. Powerledger’s proprietary energy solutions are now
transitioned to Solana mainnet.
"With our new Solana POWR token, we're excited to
leverage Solana's network, this allows for lower fees and faster
processing, aligning with our vision to make clean energy more
efficient and accessible for all,” said John Bulich, Co-founder
& Director, Powerledger.
Solana POWR: Speed, efficiency, and sustainability in
action.
This integration enables Powerledger’s platform to scale faster,
support high-volume energy and environmental commodities
transactions, and contribute to a more efficient and decentralised
energy future for global sustainability efforts. This integration
with Solana mainnet offers,
- POWR token availability: The POWR token is now
available on both Ethereum and Solana, with no changes to the total
token supply. Token swap mechanism ensures that for every POWR
token minted on Solana, an equivalent amount is locked on Ethereum,
preserving the integrity of the tokenomics and preventing
inflation.
- Enhanced flexibility and interoperability: The
dual-chain approach ensures that POWR remains accessible to users
who prefer Ethereum, while also leveraging Solana’s powerful
infrastructure and vibrant community to drive new sustainability
solutions and collaboration.
- POWR as a payment token: POWR will continue to
serve as a payment token for platform services across both Ethereum
and Solana, incentivising green behaviours such as offsetting
carbon emissions and reducing energy consumption. Powerledger also
completed the integration of its own energy platform with Solana,
leveraging Solana’s latest tools and technology.
Powerledger (POWR) is set to play a pivotal role in enabling the
tokenisation and trading of renewable energy assets, helping
businesses meet their sustainability goals while making energy
markets more transparent and accessible for all.
