Microsoft announced today that its ION layer for Bitcoin is complete, as reported in a blog post from the company.

Microsoft’s ION Network is a Decentralized Identity (DID) network built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain as a second-layer protocol. Rather than handling payments, Microsoft ION is designed to handle identities and access to online accounts.

This provides a secure alternative to usernames and passwords. Project lead Daniel Buchner previously suggested that for end users, the experience can be made similar to that of Google Authenticator, a popular tool for managing two-factor authentication (2FA).

Today’s release marks the first full release of ION. Director of Identity Standards Pamela Dingle stated: “We are excited to share that v1 of ION is complete and has been launched on Bitcoin mainnet” and added that anyone can use the open source protocol.

Microsoft’s decentralized identity network efforts have been in development for four years, while ION has been in development since 2019. The project launched in beta in June 2020.

ION was built on an existing protocol called Sidetree, which was developed by members of Microsoft and several other tech companies. Notable contributors include the enterprise Ethereum firm ConsenSys, the Bitcoin wallet company Casa, the payment processor BitPay and the crypto exchange Gemini. Protocol Labs (IPFS) and Cloudflare also contributed to the project.

Microsoft additionally has several other blockchain initiatives underway. In previous years, it has become a member of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, made heavy use of JP Morgan’s Quorum blockchain, and introduced a .NET toolkit for NEO.

Development on ION will continue, meaning that this is not the last time that the blockchain community will hear from Microsoft.

At the time of writing this author held less than $75 of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins.

Microsoft has launched the first version of its layer-2 decentralized identity solution (DID) ION on the top of Bitcoin mainnet that is anticipated to revolutionize online identities.

According to an announcement made on Thursday, March 25, Microsoft’s Decentralized Identity team has launched the ION Decentralized Identifier (DID) network on the Bitcoin mainnet that is a layer-2 technology similar to Lightning Network except that instead of focusing on payments, it uses Bitcoin’s blockchain to create digital IDs for authenticating identity online.

According to the announcement, Microsoft decentralized Identity team Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) that also includes Consensys, began working on the project four years ago to give individuals, organizations, and others control over digital exchanges, apps, and services with online Decentralized identities (DID). Other contributors to the project include Gemini, BitPay, Cloudflare, Transmute, and others.

In June of 2020, Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) launched the Beta version of ION. After the mainnet launch, individuals and businesses can easily create their decentralized identities to be used online. ION V1 is anticipated to unlock a web where users no longer have to fumble with passwords, emails, and cell phones for verification.

According to DIF, ION is a Layer 2 open, permissionless network based on the purely deterministic Sidetree protocol, which requires no special tokens, trusted validators, or additional consensus mechanisms as the network is connected to Bitcoin with the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).

The announcement reads:

According to the team, ION is highly scalable as ION nodes can process up to 10,000 ID requests in a single transaction. Each transaction is encoded with a hash that allows ION nodes to categorize, store, process, and fetch the transactions associated with a specific DID.

Giving the reason to choose Bitcoin, ION, in FAQs, stated:

Last week, ionomy's Chief Strategist, Adam Matlack, and General Manager, Richard Nelson, sat down for a live update and Q & A session on Google Hangouts to discuss a slew of updates and the New Year’s goals for 2019.In case you missed it, I thought I’d recap the main highlights because there’s just so much going on with ionomy right now. So, let’s right dive in!Starting with some very big news, iomony is right on the verge of adding Ethereum to the backend as well as other Ethereum tokens. They’ve been working hard to get the ionomy.com platform ready for this, so look out for this update very soon.And, speaking of tokens, ionomy has decided that in the future, its own token, ION, will strictly be accepted on the platform. Technically, you will still be able to use other cryptos but the platform will automatically swap them out for ION for you. This really serves the purpose of helping to increase the value of ION; ionomy is growing and the more people use its services, the more volume will be directed to the ION currency.The ionomy Power Grid (PWR-GRD) is making steady gains. They have been re-doing the Lightning API for the past month, and they are pretty happy with where it’s going. PWR-GRD, as you may know, is what ionomy has been designing this past year and it’s almost complete. Currently, they are in the stages of analyzing the competition and just making sure it serves developers and gamers to its fullest potential.What is PWR-GRD? It’s sort of an extension of ionomy. While ionomy is geared more to gamers and traders, the PWR-GRD is for game developers. Its features are being built to make the complex process of game development more streamlined. Thunder, for instance, lets game developers create their own in-game tokens on the blockchain easily, which is a pretty big deal for creating customer loyalty.The Team said they are very close to having Thunder and Jumpstart (a crowdfunding system for new games) ready, too. Other parts of the PWR-GRID moving along are Spark, an in-game ad network, and Swarm, which will facilitate low-latency multiplayer gaming.The ionomy team plans to travel to Korea in mid to late January to meet with companies in Korea looking to leverage their propensity for cryptocurrency and gaming. This could lead to some very exciting partnerships in the future. Korea just so happens to be on the forefront of the rapidly-growing cryptocurrency market - a crazy 39% of Koreans now own crypto, compared to 8% of Americans. Needless to say, there’s lots of potential to grow ionomy by aligning with this market.GravityV2 will be in stores next week, and the Rumble Arena integration will hopefully be complete in the first quarter of the year. Also, Offroad Heat has some updates coming that will include new maps.Dark Matter (XDM) is also coming in 2019 (hopefully in the first quarter, the Team said). Dark Matter isn’t just an ordinary token; you can create tokens on the ION chain with it. How cool is that?If you’re looking forward to getting some Dark Matter (XDM) not only can you get it in the auction but in the Dark Matter airdrop to ION, ATOMs, and other cryptocurrencies that will be voted on.The next fork will happen around the beginning of February. The exact date will be released soon.With all the cool games ionomy Studios is developing, they decided to expand their team of game developers which is great news for all of us looking forward to the release of UrbanWords! Additionally, ionomy has just brought on a full-time online marketer to rev up marketing efforts.Wow, I told you there was a lot of updates! I think it’s safe to say the ionomy Team will be very busy this year! If you want to see the entire Hangout and a peek of the new PWRGRD dashboard, do check it out here AND, to stay up-to-date with ionomy, you can register for announcements on ionomy.com.

IONOMY.COM Launches Initial Coin Offering For New Mobile Gaming Digital Currency ION By Bitcoin.com - Apr 28, 2016 6609 This is a paid press releaseand should be treated as advertising and promotional material. Bitcoin.com does not endorse nor supports this product/service. Bitcoin.com is not responsible for or liable for any content, accuracy, quality, within the press release.

Bitcoin.com is not responsible, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, goods or services mentioned in the press release. Startup ionomy.com releases new coin designed around rewarding mobile gamers and bringing new users into the crypto space. SINGAPORE ionomy (www.ionomy.com), a gaming and blockchain cryptocurrency startup, on April 4, 2016, announced its new gaming, investment, and digital currency platform, ionomy.com. With a revolutionary digital currency, ION, at the center of the ionomy, the company seeks to ease entry of cryptocurrency adoption through mobile gaming and social activities. Revenues from the platform provide continuous support to the development of ionomy.com, ION, and expansion of its innovative Static Proof of Stake network. After securing initial funding of $125,000 through an initial crowdsale offering in November of 2015, the ionomy team built the base of the ionomy.com platform and developed the new blockchain based digital currency. ionomy has additionally announced an initial coin offering (ICO) for ION, and seeks to raise approximately $500,000 of additional funding for this round of development and deployment. Enhancements include new game releases for mobile platforms, deployment of the trading and earning system (Stakers), and deployment and support of the core blockchain cryptocurrency, ION. ionomy launched the ICO campaign on April 4, 2016 and has already sold over half of the initial 5 million ION that have been offered at a starting price of $0.20/ION. The price of ION is on a rising scale and increases in increments of $0.01 weekly until the conclusion on May 16, 2016: ***An initial supply of 10.9 million ION has been established with 5 million dedicated to the ICO, the remaining divided between platform and development incentives, and bounties. **ION is built upon the latest proof-of-stake 3.0 technology based on Blackcoins core and innovates by adding masternodes (transaction facilitators) similar to Dash. Launching alongside ION, is ionomy.com. A fully featured investment and trading platform. By leveraging company holdings and pooling user deposited ION into a product named Stakers, the company can offer users higher than local wallet staking returns by effectively creating a large masternode and staking pool. A traditional cryptocurrency wallet or QT wallet will be offered on launch as well in order to allow users who prefer to manage their own wallets the option to do so. Stakers are products similar to Certificate of Deposits, time restricted to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and pay a fixed rate of return for that period of time. Rates start at 10% and can, for brief periods of time, go beyond 100% through platform incentives. Stakers are impacted by mobile gaming activity how much a user plays and wins, and rewards are directly tied to the rate of return on Stakers on the platform. As an example of the many ways ION can be used on the platform by gamers, players are able to charge their Stakers with game winnings for extra returns. ionomys approach to the distributed consensus model turns traditional cryptocurrency standards upside down. Starting semi-centralized with ionomy.com, mobile games, and social activities, then development tools and crowdfunding, ionomy aims to give the currency a real chance to establish a foothold before being adopted outward. The coin is open source backed by funding from ionomy.com through bounties and incentives; a large portion of ICO funds are set aside just for development of ION itself. The platform and coin will launch at the conclusion of the ICO on May 16. All coins sold in the ICO will be distributed and the blockchain will be live. Shortly after the platform and coin launch, the companys first game Gravity is scheduled to be released on mobile platforms. About ionomy ionomy is a digital entertainment and investment platform built around the ION coin, a digital currency. By integrating ION into mobile gaming and closely tying it to the platform, new users are introduced to cryptocurrency at their own pace. The mobile gaming market is one of the largest growing sectors in the world. A sustainable draw to the ionomy, for both users and holders of ION, are the digital coin rewards usable for real world goods and services. For more information please visit http://ionomy.com/.

Senior Product Manager for Decentralized Identity at Microsoft, Daniel Buchner, has confirmed the release of ION. Deployed on the Bitcoin mainnet, this solution is a permissionless public network for Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

Implemented on Bitcoin’s blockchain, it operates as a second-layer solution to support a DIDs/DPKI (Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure) at scale, according to its Github repository.

This project began four years ago, its purpose is to give individuals, organizations and others control over digital exchanges with DIDs. The ION uses a Sidetree protocol to anchor DID/DPKI transactions interacting on the network.

Each transaction is encoded with a hash that allows ION nodes to categorize, store, process, and fetch the transactions associated with a specific DID. Buchner stated in the official release:

We are excited to share that v1 of ION is complete and has been launched on Bitcoin mainnet. We have deployed an ION node to our production infrastructure and are working together with other companies and organizations to do so as well. ION does not rely on centralized entities, trusted validators, or special protocol tokens – ION answers to no one but you, the community. Because ION is an open, permissionless system, anyone can run an ION node, in fact the more nodes in operation, the stronger the network becomes.

The ION network is connected to Bitcoin with the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and does not require an additional consensus mechanism.  Its nodes can process “tens of thousands of transactions per second.” Interested users can start generating their DIDs without having to use BTC or run an ION node on their own.

In the project’s FAQ section, the ION team rates Bitcoin as the most secure blockchain on two metrics: production of a single, independent, immutable record with no way to reverse it; inexpensive cost of attacking the system. Microsoft’s ION team stated:

Bitcoin is so far beyond all other options, it isn’t even close – Bitcoin is the most secure option by an absurdly large margin.

In terms of cost, Buchner said the solution’s protocol “It’s skewed toward bandwidth and storage.” Thus, it can support 40 billion DIDs in 2 TB of memory space with a lightweight configuration for the nodes. Buchner said the following via his Twitter handle:

This is the culmination of 10 years of work, beginning in 2011 when a few of us at Mozilla set aside some of our time to explore the core concepts of Decentralized Identity. Microsoft ultimately provided the opportunity to realize this dream, and for that I am eternally grateful.

MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor welcomed the announcement and predicted that similar second-layer solutions will be released more frequently on Bitcoin. Their use cases will be broad and applied in people’s daily lives.

Bitcoin trades at $52,347 showing a slight recovery in the 1-hour chart with 1.5% gains. On the 24-hour chart, losses are at 5.6% following an 11.1% correction on the 7-day chart.

In this post, I want to introduce you CREDITS- the first blockchain platform (protocol with smart contracts) with its own internal cryptocurrency, CREDITS (CS).Blockchain capable of supporting more than 1 mln transaction per seconds, 1–3 second operations, and low transaction fees.CREDITS platform has its own unique features built on the principles of blockchain technology: public decentralised ledger/storage system, presence of the independent nodes, the consensus model, the internal cryptocurrency CREDITS etc. But platform does not have block system like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Credits developed a very unique architecture of ledger, new concensus protocol, new advanced full smart contracts, saving trasnsactions, transfer transactions and more. It allows the project to achieve a level of performance that is unattainable by other platforms: the speed of transaction is low as 0.1 seconds and the total number of operations ranges within more than 1 million operations per second at a low transaction cost. The platform’s target audience is highly diverse: banks and financial organizations; payment and online services; internet of things (IoT) applications created on the basis of blockchain technologies; smart contracts; and crypto currencies and fiat money, which require high speed (a few seconds) and low cost transactions. The financial industry requires high-speed processing and low transaction costs above all else. These attributes enable shopping, payments, transfers, exchange, and much more.The CREDITS platform is designed to be highly flexible. It can be used to perform most “obvious” blockchain functions (e.g., currency, store of value, etc.), but can also be customized for applications that the team can’t yet imagine. Bellow, I want to show you some techical features of Credits Blockchain:The CREDITS Foundation, which is located in Singapore, was created for the development of the platform. After the completion of development and release of the platform, The CREDITS FOUNDATION will be the sole and official representative of the platform.Credits project is lead by an experienced team, which I have the honor to present you:The first blockchain platform — Bitcoin offered a new form of interactions between participants. The decentralized principle of interaction, where participants make the transfer of value through bypassing the central authority, which previously seemed impossible was actually developed and demanded by users. The Bitcoin network makes only one transaction — transferring internal value from one participant to another. The Ethereum platform is the first and successful attempt to transfer complex interaction processes to the built-in programmable solutions called smart contracts, also acting independently and in a decentralized manner. But the first blockchain platforms had single followers and were mainly used by encryption enthusiasts. They were not initially designed for a significant number of users and are now able to handle several operations per second, which is not enough for mass use in a business with a significant number of users. Virtually all the subsequent blockchain platforms are to some extent the continuation of the classical scheme of Bitcoin structure with minor changes in the principles of consensus or network operation.Currently there are not many platforms that can fully meet the technological demand from users and businesses, and fundamentally solve the problems of the blockchain platforms concerning the speed of transactions, the total network bandwidth, and the cost of transactions. These are three major groups of problems and there is a number of smaller issues. These problems are fully solved by the unique CREDITS technological platform based on a fundamentally new blockchain scheme, principles of transaction processing, finding consensus and of data saving.Now, I want to give you a few reasons why you should choose Credits:1. A really new technological solution to problems2.Aimed at a specific target audience — the financial industry MVP Ready. At the moment, MVP has a minimum of features implemented: -A node — a network node that stores data -System member ID is a public and private key -Transfers– transferring values between network participants -Consensus– implementation of the algorithm for selecting the node responsible for storing data in blockchain -Saving transactions — saving data to blockchain -Wallet — a visual representation of the system operation with a minimum of features at a third-party service at credits.com.Project prototype simultaneous processing of up to 1 million transactions per second3.The average operation time is approximately 3 seconds 4.Very cheap operation cost of about 0.01% 5.Affordable operation cost for micropayments and the Internet of things 6.No existing, working analogs in terms of characteristics (as of summer 2017).Credits pre-ICO sale was a huge success, raising 3,002,165 USD , 4 029,12 ETH. The next step of raising funds is Credits ICO, which will start on January 15th 2018, when you are all invited to join! Also, I present you Credits roadmap, in bellow description:In the next lines I will share a few usefull links to Credits social-media, whitepaper, website, etc.Whitepaper https://credits.com/Content/Docs/TechnicalWhitePaperCREDITSEng.pdfANN Bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2401248Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Creditscom-1488549834790421/Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/company/13370238/From a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story.

According to the Patentscope database that indexes the documents of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Japanese digital conglomerate Sony has considered Bitcoin (BTC) integration since 2019.

According to the description from Patentscope, Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. is filing for a United States patent on an "e-sports betting platform."

This instrument will allow users of computers and gaming consoles (Sony PlayStation, Microsoft, Nintendo and so on) to bet on "simulation" events.

For instance, e-sports enthusiasts will be able to bet on the winner of the game, the next player to virtually "die," etc. The system should support a wide range of payment methods:

Wagers may be pecuniary, e.g., money or bitcoin, or may be non-pecuniary, e.g., game assets, digital rights, and virtual currency.

That being said, Sony may accept not only Bitcoins (BTC), but also a variety of digital currencies, digital rights or in-game assets. Thus, the patent may also cover the red hot segment of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Although Sony applied for this patent in November 2019, according to recently revealed details. Sony's engineer, Michael Chow, is mentioned as the "inventor" of this concept.

Holding Bitcoin (BTC) on the balance sheet is not the only way corporations are exploring the opportunities provided by the flagship cryptocurrency. As covered by U.Today previously, Microsoft experiments with a Bitcoin-based digital identity solution.

This instrument, named ION DID, is based on the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain, Sidetree protocol and Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS).

An “enterprise blockchain” is a type of permissioned blockchain that can be used to streamline business processes at scale, such as track supply chain goods or settle global payments.

Corporations believe this type suits their needs better than a public blockchain network, such as Bitcoin, because the visibility of their data can be restricted to a select group of people.

While there are different types of blockchains, they are all essentially digital records of financial transactions and data that are shared among a group of entities. They also use cryptography to make it difficult for malicious agents to manipulate the history of previous transactions. 

Facebook, IBM, JPMorgan, Walmart and Intel are just some of the big companies exploring enterprise blockchains and how this modern technology can be leveraged to improve transparency and optimize existing business operations.

A vast majority of enterprise blockchains are “permissioned blockchains,” meaning companies have direct control over them. For instance, they can block transactions that do not comply with their rules, or if law enforcement asks them to do so.

This is one of the biggest differences that sets permissioned ledgers aside from public ones like the one Bitcoin is built on. Public blockchains exist outside the control of any one company or government and are resistant to censorship. This is why bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been used successfully to circumvent international sanctions and even combat domestic cases of extortion.

While companies aren’t keen on this aspect, many have determined that they might be able to use the underlying technology to revolutionize payments and other areas of business. 

Some of the main characteristics of enterprise blockchains include:

Enterprise blockchains are generally permissioned, falling into two categories:

Enterprises could also conceivably use a public ledger system like Bitcoin, but most choose not to. Microsoft’s identity project ION is an outlier for doing so. 

Blockchains can be useful, but not every company needs one. CoinDesk has put together a chart with some of the questions you might want to ask and answer before proceeding down the rabbit hole. 

Computer science researchers put forth a similar, more formal paper for determining which scenarios blockchains are best suited for. 

A global survey of companies conducted by Deloitte in 2019 found 53% of respondents said that “blockchain technology has become a critical priority for their organizations in 2019,” a 10% increase over 2018.  

Big companies with household name recognition are exploring this type of distributed ledger technology and don’t want to be left behind. 

Notable companies exploring them include:

Many companies have been exploring the advantages of enterprise blockchains for years. But the technology is far from taking over the world just yet. Most companies are still in the testing phase and haven’t rolled out production-ready versions. Whereas before companies working on these solutions have mostly been rivals, recently many of these same companies have been partnering with existing blockchain projects.

Despite Bitcoin's market cap of $1 trillion, the cryptocurrency's future remains unclear, because it's uncertain how widely it will be used in commerce or if it represents anything more than a means to speculate on future price appreciation.

"Bitcoin transactions and tradability are still limited," Dr. Marion Laboure, an analyst at Deutsche Bank in London said in a research report. "And the real debate is whether rising valuations alone can be reason enough for Bitcoin to evolve into an asset class, or whether its illiquidity is an obstacle."

The cryptocurrency is highly volatile, and this also could limit its future use.

In early 2017, Bitcoin fetched less than $1,000 each. By December of that year, it had climbed to about $20,000. But by February 2018, the price had fallen to about $7,000. This year, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $61,556.59.

Bitcoin changed hands at $57,710.23 in mid-day trading Monday, but is still up 97.95% for the year, CoinDesk reported.

Bitcoin's current valuation appears to have priced in a shift toward cross-border digital currencies.

"The hypothesis is that Bitcoin, as the leader, will benefit from network effects and become an important means of payment in the future," Laboure said.

On Monday, Visa said it will accept USD Coin, a stable coin backed by the U.S. dollar, to settle transactions on its payment network. It's another sign of increased use of digital currencies in the financial industry.

Bitcoin is not backed by the dollar or any other asset, leading some to question its long-term value.

Nevertheless, Mastercard and PayPal had previously added Bitcoin to their payment systems. But so far, commercial transactions are limited as an increasing number of investors, including major Wall Street firms, hold Bitcoin long-term as a bet on future price appreciation.

Laboure estimated that less than 30% of Bitcoin transactions are related to payments for goods and services. The balance is generally used as a financial investment.

"As an investment asset, Bitcoin liquidity remains low," Laboure said. "In 2020, 28 million Bitcoins changed hands (150% of total Bitcoins in circulation), compared to 40 billion shares of Apple (270% of its total shares in circulation)."

The "Tinkerbell effect" adds to the uncertainty of Bitcoin's value as an asset and may limit its emergence as a distinct asset class.

Skeptics argue that Bitcoin rises in value only because investors believe it will— much like Tinkerbell exists only because children believe she exists.

But others argue that because the number of Bitcoins is capped at 21 million, holding the cryptocurrency as a long-term investment will ease volatility and boost prices as long as demand remains strong.

Industry leaders remain split about the value and future use of Bitcoin.

"Stay away from it. It's a mirage, basically," said Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, a value investment company with a market cap of about $596 billion.

However, some believe massive government spending and growing debt will erode the value of the U.S. dollar and end its status as the world's reserve currency, creating an opening for crypto currencies.

"The world ultimately will have a single currency," said Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder and CEO. "The Internet will have a single currency. I personally believe that it will be Bitcoin."

However, central banks are exploring development of their own digital currencies and India may ban Bitcoin.

While major companies, including Tesla, MicroStrategy and Wall Street hedge funds have invested heavily in Bitcoin, some believe its use in commerce will drive future price appreciation.

"As Bitcoin network grows, the value of Bitcoin grows," said Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman. "As people move into Bitcoin for payments and receipts, they stop using U.S. dollars, euros and Chinese yuan, which in the long term devalues these currencies."

However, Goldman Sachs believes Bitcoin is too volatile to be a medium of exchange. If so, that would limit Bitcoin's use in commerce.

"The next two or three years should be a turning point for Bitcoin," Deutsche Bank's Laboure said.

Market Pulse

A less expensive battery has caught the eye of electric car pioneer Elon Musk, but poor performance in cold weather has limited its use in the U.S. and Europe.

The lithium ferrophosphate, or LFP, battery uses iron rather than expensive cobalt and nickel. LFP batteries have low risk of catching fire, but provide fewer miles per change and tend to die in cold weather.

Tesla uses the less expensive battery in its China-built Model 3 sedans, but not in the versions of the car built in the U.S.

"Nickel is our biggest concern for scaling lithium-ion cell production," Musk tweeted. "That's why we are shifting standard range cars to an iron cathode. Plenty of iron (and lithium)!"

The government-sponsored China Automotive Battery Research Institute said makers of iron batteries last year supplied 30.8 gigawatt-hours of energy for electric vehicles and gas-electric hybrids, or 47% of the market.

Tesla has built a huge lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle component factory east of Reno, Nevada.

Tesla's current market cap is $665 billion, or about five times the valuation of Ford and GM combined. Yet in 2020, GM sold about eight times as many cars as Tesla while Ford sold about five times as many.

The bet: The move to electric cars is unstoppable and Tesla will continue to be the market leader.

But the desire to replace the internal combustion engine raises a basic question: Where does the power come from to charge millions of electric cars?

Toyota President Akio Toyoda said the current electric grid lacks the capacity to charge Japan's cars if gasoline engines are banned in the future.

"When politicians are out there saying, 'Let's get rid of all cars using gasoline,' do they understand this?" he said in December at a news conference held by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.

California, subject to rolling blackouts last summer, plans to end the sale of new gasoline and diesel-powered cars by 2035.

Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and construction equipment, should be zero-emission by 2045 "where feasible," Governor Gavin Newsom's order said.

About 11% of all light vehicles in the U.S. are registered in California, London-based IHS Markit reported.

California state and utility officials blamed 2020's power outages on an extreme heat wave that created unusually high demand.

Bitcoin price – 5 Blockchain Startups Disrupting The Energy Sector

Despite its enormous potential to transform the global energy sector, blockchain technology has largely remained confined to the financial sector, with the energy industry consistently catalyzed by innovations in sub-sectors such as rooftop solar, offshore wind, smart metering, battery storage, and electric vehicles.

But this is now beginning to change thanks to the Enterprise Ethereum blockchain emerging as the newest technology to spur growth in the energy sector across a raft of verticals from peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading and smart contracts to green energy provenance and systems interoperability. 

Indeed, a recent Global Blockchain in Energy Market research document says blockchain technology in the energy industry is about to record explosive growth over the next five years, with blockchain energy startups such as Power Ledger, WePower, UAB, and LO3 Energy set to open up new possibilities for the energy industry, ranging from cost-savings for the consumer by eliminating third parties in energy deals and faster transaction settlements, all the way to the emergence of a new market for peer-to-peer and excess renewable energy trading.

Here are 5 energy startups that are using blockchain technology in innovative ways to disrupt the energy sector.

Source: StartUs Insights

#1. Power Ledger: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading 

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading is a pretty novel paradigm of power system operation whereby people generate their own energy from renewable sources in factories, dwellings, and offices and factories and share it with each other locally. 

Peer-to-peer energy trading has been around for quite some time now. However, traditional P2P has a major drawback: It requires a central entity, usually a utility company, to facilitate energy transfer from prosumers to buyers.

Thankfully, blockchain technology is radically changing the P2P energy trading model by cutting out the middleman and allowing prosumers to trade directly with each other. This new model is particularly attractive to people who generate their own renewable power.

Australian Power Ledger is championing the new, middleman-less P2P energy trading model by organizing local communities into the so-called “microgrids”–essentially local power grids almost fully autonomous and independent of the national electricity grid.

Another company doing this is Grid+, a US startup that has developed an Ethereum-powered blockchain platform that allows consumers to cut out the energy retailer and buy energy directly from producers.

#2. WePower: Selling Renewable Energy to Corporates

Whereas many energy and tech companies have been generating their own renewable energy, the majority typically buy their renewable energy from a renewable producer through a formal Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

PPAs usually involve a set amount of electricity for a fixed period, frequently several years. However, as is the case with many current power purchase arrangements, PPAs have shortcomings: What happens when the company moves mid-contract? This points to a glaring lack of flexibility by PPAs.

WePower is an Australian-based blockchain startup backed by Japan’s Marubeni that connects energy buyers (end users and investors) directly with the green energy producers and creates an opportunity to purchase energy upfront at below-market rates. 

WePower has developed Ethereum Smart Energy contract tokens that it sells to consumers in a typical e-commerce experience. The company’s tokens are used to standardize, simplify, and fractionalize renewable energy such that corporates can not only buy exactly what they need but can also resell their excess capacity.

#3. Acciona: Green Hydrogen Tracking

After decades of stagnation and multiple false dawns, the hydrogen economy now appears primed for a major takeoff. A growing number of countries and industries are proactively investing in hydrogen technologies, with hydrogen being touted as the ‘fuel of the future.’ Meanwhile, industry experts are predicting that hydrogen could become a globally-traded energy source, just like oil and gas, while the Bank of America says the industry is at a tipping point and set to explode into a $11 trillion marketplace.

At the center of this all is green hydrogen, or hydrogen generated from 100% zero-carbon sources due to its superior green credentials.

The world’s green hydrogen leaders have joined hands with an ambitious goal to drive a 50-fold scale-up in green hydrogen production over the next six years.

The Green Hydrogen Catapult Initiative aims to drive a 50-fold increase in green hydrogen to 25GW by 2026, a scale that could significantly drive down hydrogen costs to below $2/kg, thus making the fuel source competitive with fossil fuels in power generation.

But how can end-users be sure that the hydrogen they are buying is strictly the green type and not, say, gray hydrogen made from cracking natural gas?

Luckily, Spanish multinational Acciona has developed the first platform to guarantee the renewable origin of green hydrogen. 

GreenH2chain is a blockchain platform that will enable customers from anywhere in the world to verify and visualize the entire green hydrogen value chain in real time. <strong class="related"> Related: Oil Soars As OPEC+ Sources Suggest No Production Increase

The blockchain platform will allow renewable hydrogen consumers to monitor the entire decarbonization process of their own energy supply and also verify the transportation and delivery process.

Similarly, Norway’s Hydro, in conjunction with DNV, has developed a blockchain-based platform for the provenance of metal products along its supply chain. Dubbed Tag. Trace. Trust., the platform allows anyone to instantly check the validity, data, and authenticity of the product’s environmental profile. 

#4. Everledger: Blockchain Battery Recycling App

Last year, the Global Battery Alliance (G(BA)) launched ‘Battery Passport’, a global ‘quality seal’ and verification tool on a digital platform that will be used to share value chain data of EV batteries. Battery Passport–outlining 10 guiding principles and co-signed by 42 global organizations–intends to become the first step in a responsible and sustainable battery value chain. The principles are based on existing standards such as OECD’s Due Diligence Guidance as well as economically viable considerations for a low carbon economy.

And now another startup has taken that idea a step further by launching a blockchain service that will encourage the recycling of lithium-ion batteries. 

Blockchain startup Everledger has received a $357,000 award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) after developing an app that rewards consumers for recycling portable batteries found in phones, laptops, and other devices. Everledger is part of the Team Portables consortium, with other members being HP, Call2recycle, and mobile phone company Fairphone.

The DoE has been supporting solutions that contribute to the capture of up to 90% of lithium-based batteries in the U.S. for recycling or re-introduction of materials into the supply chain and has earmarked a total of $5.5 million to award winners across phased competitions.

Battery recycling has lately been attracting plenty of investor interest, with a recent IHS Markit Report noting that a large number of EV batteries are approaching their end-of-life stage, thus presenting a huge opportunity for recycling. IHS has projected that over 500,000 tons (57 GWh) of batteries reached their end-of-life point in 2020 with 1.2 million tons (121 GWh) and 3.5 million tons (350 GWh) expected to do so in 2025 and 2030, respectively, thus creating a sizeable repository of recyclable material. 

#5. Greeneum: Selling Crypto Carbon Credits

A month ago, China surprised the world after launching the world’s largest carbon market in an attempt to rein in on the nation’s runaway carbon emissions. China’s emissions trading system will cover its extensive power industry, including ~2,000 power generation facilities which represent about 30% of the nation’s total emissions. However, over time, the platform will expand to encompass heavy industries like oil, gas, steel, aluminum, cement, and chemicals. 

Despite their good intentions, carbon offsets have lately come under criticism, with scientists, activists, and concerned citizens questioning whether many companies are using carbon offsets as a free pass for inaction. The types of carbon offset projects that are implemented are diverse, ranging from forestry sequestration projects to energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The world needs to lower annual emissions by 29-32 gigatonnes of equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2e) by 2030 to have a fighting chance to stay below 1.5°C. That’s ~5x the current commitments by companies, organizations, and governments. We need to lower our GHG emissions by 45% over the next decade if we are to avert catastrophic planetary changes. 

Luckily, Greeneum is a blockchain startup offering a different favor of carbon offsets.

The Israeli startup is incentivizing customers to save energy and adopt eco-friendly lifestyles by awarding Green Certificates and Carbon Credits in the form of cryptocurrency for every watt-hour of renewable energy generated.

The Greeneum Network is devoted to accelerating the worldwide transition to clean energy and sustainable technologies using Blockchain and customized machine learning. Greeneum’s digital assets are connected to profitable green energy projects with unique, groundbreaking technology that certifies green energy and optimizes power yield.
