Competitive landscape

Edge: Crypto-native incentive layer on top of real energy hardware.

DePIN energy is early — token incentives must prove durable beyond speculation. Regulatory treatment of energy tokens is uncertain.

  • Helium adjacent

    DePIN pioneer for wireless.

  • Sunrun incumbent

    Traditional solar installers; no crypto incentives.

  • Glow direct

    DePIN solar rewards; overlapping thesis.

  • Grid+ projects adjacent

    Prior crypto-energy attempts with mixed track records.

Notable stories

  • Daylight represents climate-crypto crossover — token incentives to bootstrap distributed energy networks (a16z crypto, 2024).
