The number of Starpower device users on the energy DePIN network recently exceeded 100,000
Author: Starpower
Solana Ventures' investment in Starpower recently surpassed 100,000 users of Starpower devices, further cementing its position as the world's largest energy DePIN in terms of number of users. At the same time, Starpower has reached a cooperative integration with Apple and Google Home, realizing a unique reverse access solution for home power devices: users can now seamlessly call home power devices through the Starpower App to achieve connection, control and energy data collection, and earn $STAR rewards.
This update marks a breakthrough in Starpower's efforts to build a "device-as-a-node" decentralized energy network, with the number of devices connected to the network exploding in a matter of days. By connecting the Apple and Google Home ecosystems, Starpower not only realizes large-scale access to household energy devices, but also greatly lowers the threshold for ordinary users to participate in Web3 energy networks.
"We are connecting the future of the Internet of Energy with the devices around you." - Starpower co-founder Darcy said
Starpower's vision is to build a global, user-driven virtual power plant (VPP) network, where each access device can participate in energy consumption data collection, response scheduling, supply and demand adjustment and other services, and receive $STAR incentives. Previously, Starpower has cooperated with the world's first-tier new energy equipment manufacturers to release equipment covering power generation, power storage, and power consumption scenarios.
The integration of Apple and Google Home platforms allows users to directly integrate existing smart home devices (such as smart lights, air conditioners, sockets, cameras, etc.) into the Starpower network without relying on Starpower authorized hardware, becoming a certifiable "energy node", truly realizing "universal access and participation by all".
Starpower said that the next step will be to gradually open up the integration with other smart home ecosystems (such as Amazon Alexa, Tuya, Tuya, etc.), and at the same time analyze electricity consumption behavior through AI to achieve more accurate device identification and scheduling capabilities. Starpower hopes to use groundbreaking technology to truly bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, so that Web3 energy networks can be popularized with higher efficiency, lower cost, and wider coverage.
It is reported that Starpower has previously completed a $5 million financing with investors including Alliance DAO, Framework Ventures, and Solana Ventures.
