Zug, Switzerland, October 13th, 2024, Chainwire
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.
