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.
