The digital currency sector has certainly had its share of noise in the last few years, particularly with speculative surges and falls, corruption and lack of security on exchanges, and the massive environmental weight of mining proof-of-work crypto coins.  And yet, the blockchain concepts created by this industry provide some startling innovations that can be applied to energy project development and operation.  A digital currency issued by the CEARTchain™ also allows for the participation in profits by the owners of data associated with projects who allow it to be used to train and improve the system. Sidechain experiments currently promote fair compensation—“data dignity”—for model training, innovations in digital currency that promote value and utility over speculation and compelling use cases for blockchain to increase project transparency as it relates to proper compliance while retaining confidentiality. CEARTchain™ is still in stealth mode while the experiments yield exciting results and our IP team studies the best way to project and release this new system. Stay tuned!
