Powerledger (POWR) announces its expansion to the Solana (SOL) mainnet ecosystem. This decision aims to further leverage Powerledger’s expertise in the energy and sustainability software and to drive Solana to the forefront of Regenerative Finance (ReFi).
Powerledger’s products will integrate with Solana Mainnet, halting Powerledger’s SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) blockchain, and expanding its POWR token into the Solana ecosystem as a native SPL token, in addition to POWR continuing to be an ERC20 token. Both will take place by October 2024.
This strategic decision harnesses the full potential of Solana’s network and ecosystem capabilities for Powerledger’s products. It will also enable Powerledger to focus on bringing innovative sustainability products to the market.
After over a year of operating on a SVM chain, Powerledger has proven the technology’s potential within its product ecosystem and gained valuable expertise on how to make best use of the SVM technology. This next step, in expanding onto Solana mainnet, is a key milestone in building on an open and common platform.
This expansion onto Solana mainnet supports Powerledger’s mission of democratisation of power for a sustainable future. For instance, this year, Powerledger announced commercial deployment of its Powerledger’s peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading technology with leading energy supplier, Energie Steiermark, in Austria. Additionally, Powerledger’s environmental commodities trading marketplace, TraceX, launched pioneering features which open renewable energy certificate (REC) market access for renewable energy buyers.
This expansion with Solana provides the following benefits:
“At the core of both Solana and Powerledger is a commitment to empowering people. Powerledger’s vision is to enable ordinary citizens to actively participate in the energy transition and make clean energy accessible for everyone. This aligns seamlessly with Solana’s goal of making blockchain accessible to everyone. This shared focus on people and innovation will drive meaningful progress and create new opportunities for all,” says Dr. Jemma Green, Co-founder & Chairman, Powerledger.
