The energy sector is ripe for disruption.

Power grid infrastructure is outdated, energy demand is rising, and the need for a clean energy shift is urgent.

Renewables like solar are getting cheaper, but their distributed nature challenges the existing grid, which is built for centralized energy production.

Crypto can help by incentivizing renewable energy build-out, altering consumer behavior, coordinating across distributed energy sources, supporting P2P energy trading, and providing an open data layer. 🧵Image

Fuse is a full-stack Web2 renewable energy business that is now building @projectzero2050, a decentralized renewable energy network powered by Solana. 

With $12M in recent funding led by @multicoincap, Project Zero aims to use token incentives to drive the installation of distributed energy sources and shift consumption patterns. When energy costs rise, consumers are rewarded for using less, and vice versa—turning everyone into a mini energy trader. 

Learn more about @FuseEnergyHQ and Project Zero from its Breakpoint announcement:
Powerledger offers a platform for tracking, tracing, and trading renewable energy — and reported that a P2P solar energy trading pilot with Uttar Pradesh saw prices drop 43% below retail tariffs and spurred legislative changes. 

It’s migrating from its own SVM fork to Solana mainnet. Hear from @PowerLedger_io at Breakpoint:

gm, as we prepare for Breakpoint, let’s look back on an August filled with shipping 🚢

From prediction markets to global payments, the Solana ecosystem didn’t miss a beat.

Curious what you might’ve missed? We’ve got you covered. 🧵 Image
Drift launched prediction markets platform BET.

BET differentiates from existing prediction markets with its capital-efficient design – and users can trade with any collateral supported by @DriftProtocol, not just USDC.
At the Global Fintech Fest, @NandanNilekani and @imsiddshetty live demo’d a money transfer on the Finternet that settled on Solana.

The Finternet is a new vision for global finance – one built by tokenizing any asset over a unified ledger. It is being developed by the team behind the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in India, which does over $240 billion in payments volume every month.

Today, the Solana Radar Hackathon officially kicks off!

So it’s the perfect time to share ideas for innovative startups to build on Solana.

What potential opportunities are out there? 🧵 Image
DePIN.

Energy infrastructure is changing: Governments are providing 100s of billions to accelerate the shift to green energy.

There's an opportunity to build an optimized energy business via token incentives:
> Earn for installing valuable energy hardware (e.g., solar panels, batteries)
> Earn for adjusting energy consumption behavior
> Turn each homeowner into a mini "energy trader”Image
PayFi and Commerce.

1️⃣ Buy Now, Pay Never?

Imagine financing purchases by staking yielding assets. You retain the principal, while yield covers payments.

Founders like @soleconomist have started to ideate on solutions using LSTs via @sanctumso.
