$21T is needed to transition the grid to clean energy by 2050 due to CO2 goals & rising demand.

Challenges:
1️⃣ Rapid, cost-effective capacity scaling.
2️⃣ Integrating decentralized energy resources into an outdated grid.

Navigate the DePIN Energy Sector with @dylangbane🧵 Image Solar is now the world's cheapest energy source.

But, the fossil fuel-based grid isn't ideal for clean, decentralized energy sources like solar, wind, and batteries.

DePIN protocols can help:

⚡ Incentivize DER deployment

⚡ Enhance grid coordination via VPPs/DRPs

⚡ Tokenize DERs/carbon credits for better liquidity and transparencyImage

Liquidity fragmentation across blockchains is one of DeFi's largest challenges, leading to high costs and low capital utilization.

@EverclearOrg introduces the first Clearing Layer to solve liquidity fragmentation. Let's explore what Everclear is and why it matters 🧵 Image The Problem 🔎

Fragmented liquidity between chains leads to high costs & low capital utilization for solvers, market makers, & CEXs. Rebalancing is complex, costly, and often slow.

As the number of chains grows, so do rebalancing requirements. A better solution is needed.
