Why, What and How

Why Arkreen?

The energy industry is shifting from centralized fossil fuel sources to Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) dominated by renewables, while electricity consumption driven by AI and digital applications grows rapidly and becomes decentralized. This change creates a fragmented “long tail” of supply and demand that needs efficient matching. Arkreen tackles this challenge by creating a peer-to-peer energy asset trading network. Leveraging the DePIN model, it provides blockchain-based solutions to unlock renewable energy’s potential through a globally coordinated community.

What is Arkreen?

Arkreen is a DePIN-powered global energy network that digitizes and connects distributed renewable assets like residential solar PV systems. Its blockchain-based protocols enable value exchange, asset monetization, and decentralized coordination. The network integrates long-tail energy assets with on-chain economies, including Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) and Virtual Power Plants (VPP). This ensures open, secure, and flexible monetization of energy assets on a global scale.

How Does It Work?

Arkreen connects global renewable energy assets using three models: hardware retrofits with smart meters, software API partnerships with manufacturers, and remote data subscriptions for non-solar users. These solutions enable real-time data collection, seamless on-chain uploads, and scalable community participation. On the demand side, Arkreen tokenizes environmental benefits through its AREC protocol, creating digital green certificates for global energy marketplaces and voluntary carbon offset initiatives.
