The abutting time you leave a room, bethink to about-face off the lights. About 68% of all US activity bearing goes to waste, according to abstracts from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, accident a absolute of 66 quadrillion BTU’s. Some of these losses are adamantine to avoid, due to the attributes of the activity market: appeal is unpredictable, and already the atramentous generators about-face on, you use it or lose it.
However, a new DLT activity is gluttonous to cut aback on waste, by accretion ability and amount analysis aural the activity market. RedGrid is gluttonous to body a new “Internet of Energy,” abutting acute accessories to acquaint their ability needs and alleviate added amount for their owners.
RedGrid hopes that as the software is congenital out, developers and engineers will use the open-source agreement to host new decentralized applications for the Internet of Energy. To accommodate a scalable belvedere for the new network, RedGrid chose Holochain’s (HOT) scalable balance for peer-to-peer transactions.
“Holochain is different in its scalability, privacy, and security,” said RedGrid CEO Adam Bumpus, in a statement. “For an intelligent, interconnected, defended apple-pie activity future, we charge these attributes. There won’t be a centralised arrangement that can accredit the admission to apple-pie activity and change we charge to abstain alarming altitude change”
As the aboriginal action on the IoE, RedGrid is architecture an appliance for “Market Responsive Asset Optimization,” acceptance high-consumption accessories to acquaint and acknowledge to alien bazaar signals, acceptance acute accessories to abate action in times of aiguille demand.
By amalgam Asset Optimization with account appeal administration programs, users may alike be able to draw a baby accumulation by abbreviation their burning during aerial appeal periods.
RedGrid originally approved to body on Ethereum, but the abstruse limitations of the PoW arrangement disqualified it out for the Internet of Energy. “[O]ur IoE belvedere is not aloof the abetment activity trading, as abounding of the added platforms are, it is ample calibration IoT coordination,” explains RedGrid CMO Alex Evans, over email. “Traditional blockchains cannot handle the bulk of advice bare to accomplish these tasks, due to the inherent architectonics of their accord mechanisms.”
On the added hand, Holochain is “nearly always scalable,” Evans says, authoritative it an ideal belvedere for the IoT accessories which are anon accepted to cardinal in the hundreds of billions. “We will charge Holochain’s scalability to handle the bulk of abstracts that these accessories will create, and that is why we are architecture the IoE on Holochain.”

The Pillar Project, a blockchain centered action to accommodate an all-in-one band-aid for agenda asset management, has appear the official barrage of its capital offering. The Pillar Wallet provides users with a beginner-friendly accumulator interface with abutment for Ethereum, all ERC20 tokens, and all ERC721 non-fungible tokens such as Crypto Kitties or other gaming assets.
For affluence of use and accessibility, the app blends appearance of a amusing media appliance with a cryptocurrency accumulator device. According to the project’s press release, Pillar’s account will be the aboriginal to action a cardinal of different appearance such as:
The Pillar aggregation is absolutely not defective in activity for their project, and they accept arbitrary way of assuming it. To bang off its announcement, the Pillar Activity appear a rap song featuring Inverse K via YouTube, which is meant to serve as an canticle for cryptocurrency holders who are annoyed of relying on capricious companies, banks, or institutions to abode their funds, identities and clandestine information.
The hookline of the song exemplifies its ‘fight the power’ mentality, and goes as follows:
“Our data’s trapped so we’re takin’ it aback and blockchain’ll accomplish this bold a pain’a the past, account alone those we accept will be able to admission with passes that automatically assure our assets.”
The absorbed was acceptable sincere, and aimed at apropos to and alarming crypto enthusiasts, admitting it appear to alloyed reviews in the comments. Admitting not a above setback, the rap video was apparently not the wisest use of business money, as flat time, assembly costs and video alteration fees for a video of that affection apparently wasn’t account friendly.
Furthermore, the accomplished attack begs the question, “who asked for this” ? It’s difficult to anamnesis any contempo instance in which either a regulator, a lawmaker, or alike a acclaimed crypto YouTube personality anticipation that what the amplitude bare to absolutely access up accumulation acceptance was a crypto-themed a rap song.
In fact, it’s adamantine to bethink blockchain rap ever actuality allotment of the accumulation acceptance roadmap.
On the added hand, if the purpose of the rap video was to get bodies talking about the Pillar Wallet, well, actuality we are.
In any case, the project’s boldness, both in aim and in business strategy, shows that Pillar is onboard with what decentralized tech is all about: claimed ascendancy over one’s clandestine info, funds, and identity.
