About

Energy Web Chain is a blockchain-based platform specifically designed for the energy sector’s regulatory, operational, and market needs. It offers tools for asset management, data exchange, and green proofs.

History

Founded in early 2017, Energy Web Foundation (EWF) is a global, member-driven nonprofit accelerating a low-carbon, customer-centric electricity system by unleashing the potential of blockchain and decentralized technologies. EWF focuses on technology integration and development, co-creating standards and architectures, speeding adoption, and building community.

In mid-2019, EWF launched the Energy Web Chain, the world’s first enterprise-grade, open-source blockchain platform tailored to the energy sector’s regulatory, operational, and market needs. EWF also fostered the world’s largest energy blockchain ecosystem, comprising more than 100 utilities, grid operators, renewable energy developers, corporate energy buyers, and others. A subset of Energy Web members serve as validators for the network, while EWF continues to build out features for the core blockchain, a series of software development toolkits for building energy-sector applications, and other modules that together make up the EW-DOS (decentralized operating system).
