In the spirit of transparency, let’s talk about Powerledger (POWR) and why we have chosen to whitelist it within our liquid vault.

About Powerledger

Founded in 2016, Powerledger addresses the challenges of intermittent energy sources like solar and wind, which can destabilize the grid. As the energy grid transitions from centralized to distributed systems, Powerledger's agile market solutions help regulate this intermittency, promoting a responsive network with improved storage capabilities. Their software enables utilities and corporations to track, trace, and trade every kilowatt of energy, enhancing grid stability. Additionally, Powerledger facilitates seamless trading of Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) and granular energy tracking, aiding companies in achieving their decarbonization goals.

About Fyde Treasury Protocol

Fyde is a decentralized treasury management solution that accepts native tokens, providing depositors with diversified market exposure and yield. Depositors receive $TRSY, a liquid wrapper of the vault, redeemable for a basket of tokens at any time. Fyde aims to offer diversification while accruing yield and maintaining governance rights.

Experienced Team

Co-founded in 2016 by Dr. Jemma Green and John Bulich, Powerledger was established to address the growing demand for transparency and peer-to-peer transactions within energy markets, inspired by the increasing integration of renewable energy sources into the grid.

Diversified Returns

Including POWR in the vault offers a return stream potentially less correlated with other tokens, promoting risk diversification for users.

Enhancing POWR Adoption

As Fyde’s vault includes 25 other assets, traders can swap from any of those assets directly into POWR, minimizing trading fees and increasing adoption and trading efficiency of the native token.
