​DePIN.Sparx: Decentralized Energy
Innovation at the Intersection of Technology and Infrastructure

​The energy landscape is changing fast, and Switzerland is at the forefront of decentralized solutions. From innovations in solar and hydropower to advancements in battery storage, peer-to-peer energy trading, carbon credits, and energy intelligence, new technologies are transforming how we produce, share, and use energy.

​A trend contributing to this transformation is Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), a model that leverages blockchain and token incentives to create more efficient, transparent, and resilient energy systems.
