Ec³, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) for green energy storage, has officially joined the peaq ecosystem. It represents a new kind of sustainability, as it encourages the use of solar energy and rewards participants with symbolic rewards. Ec³ draws strength from the growing trend in the global market for CO2 compensation. It is expected to reach more than $1.6 trillion by 2028. However, the emphasis is on the industry taking a soft approach to the environment.
Welcome to the peaqo system, @Ec3_DeEnergy
Ec³ is an energy #DePIN that allows people and companies to earn rewards for using solar energy
Ec³ is ready to launch their token natively on peaq and will use peaq for device identification and its seamless interoperability.… pic.twitter.com/sIci0pa3XQ

Ec³ improves transparency in green energy transactions
By having peaq as a layer-1 blockchain anchor, Ec³ aims to transform people’s and companies’ approach to green energy. A person receives symbolic rewards for using solar energy, rooftop solar batteries, an electric vehicle, or other energy-consuming device.
Unfortunately, using renewable energy sources does not make the planet cleaner. However, with green rewards, a person can independently contribute to offsetting CO2 emissions. One of the beneficial Ec³ interactions with peaq is the device identification and seamless interoperability. To enable more secure and transparent transactions, staked assets are tokenized and many DePIN features are included.
It will be easier for a person to connect a device that supports the green energy network, and this will ultimately benefit the ecosystem. Furthermore, the introduction of $ECT, Ec³’s payment token, benefits from the development of a traditional economic network. They are used extensively to promote ideal behavior and currently it has proven effective. However, one of the main risks of liquid staking is cutting.
Ec³ promotes solar energy and rewards for renewable energy
This scenario is realized when a corrupt validator loses a certain number of its staked tokens as punishment. It is worth worrying about the centralization of a given system, as a large majority of the very few tokens deployed in one protocol can lead to centralization. Finally, the legal advancement of liquid staking is being questioned. From now on, what lived before can be abolished.
Finally, the Ec³ integration with the peaq network marks an important milestone in the search for primary energy solutions. In addition to all of the above, this initiative encourages solar energy generation and compensation and rewards participants in these initiatives. This project signals that the energy sector is rethinking its behavior while trying to maintain more effective functions to ‘save what we have’.
