Yes it was a great sit down!!
Tokenized assets are increasingly becoming a powerful segment of the onchain economy. Energy is something that I’ve been passionate about for years and even wrote about in published paper.
Happy to see companies like @OpenVPP and others explore and test out the capabilities.
We had an incredible time at Arc mainnet launch in NYC. We discussed what’s next for @OpenVPP with @samconnerone on the developer pre show.
We’ve already tokenized over 1 GWh of globally distributed energy assets as RWAs on @arc.
Next comes the strategic dispatch of these assets with our institutional electric utility partners at the grid edge.
More to come, join the clean energy revolution by adding your EVs, smart thermostats, solar, and energy storage systems: arc.openvpp.energy

Arc was built for developers exploring what’s possible when stablecoins, wallets, and programmable payments come together.
@OpenVPP is using Arc Testnet to explore real-time energy settlement across EVs, utilities, and grid-connected devices, including:
→ Stablecoin settlement
→ Gas-sponsored wallets
→ Machine-to-machine payments
→ Nanopayments for grid data access
As a proof of concept, OpenVPP has built a grid-balancing agent that pays $0.0001 in USDC every 4 seconds to access grid frequency and pricing data, evaluate a battery dispatch decision, and track the resulting data cost.
A technical look at what they’ve built on Arc: arc.io/blog/how-openvpp-is-e…

ComEd has received approval for a Scheduled Dispatch Virtual Power Plant program in Illinois, with the first phase expected online in 2027.
@MichaelGMarin spoke with @tdworldmag about what utilities need to make programs like this work.
Solar, batteries, EVs, and smart loads are already deployed across the grid. The challenge is connecting those assets, coordinating their response, measuring what they deliver, and compensating customers accurately.
That software layer is what allows distributed assets to operate as part of the grid rather than as isolated devices.

Stablecoins have become one of the biggest shifts in global finance.
What started as a crypto experiment is now being embraced by major institutions, from on-chain markets to blockchain-based settlement. But as stablecoins go mainstream, the real questions begin.
Who builds the infrastructure? Which networks capture the liquidity? Can stablecoins create a more open financial system? And what happens as banks, businesses, and governments accelerate adoption?
These are the questions we'll be exploring live.

getting super bored as arc ambassador and local chapter lead in arc house USA.
to many boring side bar discussions happening on agentic private nanopayment rails for industry web4 and x402.
the $10T energy industry prefers .csv
see you irl for possibly a couple local chapter events + july 22nd in nyc hq for another boring private event
The Bored Room is officially live.

Are electric cars finally having their moment? High fuel prices, upgraded charging options and the easy availability of electric or hybrid powered vehicles — especially from China — are proving to be compelling arguments for European buyers reut.rs/4fngVdg

EVs are becoming one of the grid’s most important flexible assets.
The challenge is not just adding more EVs. It is coordinating when they charge, how they respond to grid signals, and how participants get compensated.
That requires visibility, control, and real-time settlement across distributed energy assets.
This is the infrastructure layer Grid Rails is building.

$OVPP is Tokenizing AI & Data Centers.
We’re excited to share that the teams at Blackstart Infrastructure Partners, Grid Rails AI, and OpenVPP are at the historic IBM Headquarters in Silicon Valley, California to build the future of AI & Data Centers, Energy, and Digital Asset Technologies.
What comes next will reshape the future of energy and society.

Connect your electric vehicle and start earning rewards every time you charge through the @OpenVPP network on @base
OpenVPP is excited to announce that we’ve brought over 500 MWhs of distributed energy delivered onchain via real-world assets (RWAs) on @Base.
This is estimated enough to power:
16,000 homes → 1 day
1,300 homes → 12 days
Small town → 1 day
Large data center → several hours to 1 day
Grocery stores → 40–50 for 1 day
Office buildings → 100–200 for 1 day
Hotels → 80–120 for 1 day
Big retail stores → 25–50 for 1 day

Excited to share that OpenVPP $OVPP is sponsoring the Arizona State University Energy x AI Hackathon: Engineering the Future today in Phoenix Arizona.
🌐 asu-energy-hackathon.devpost…
I’ll also be one of the judges alongside some of the top industry executives, venture capitalists, and founders in clean energy.
Arizona's grid faces extreme stress in summer: temperatures above 105°F push demand to the edge of capacity while rooftop solar floods the grid mid-day, then vanishes at sunset. At the same time, the state has a fast-growing EV fleet sitting plugged in most of the time — a distributed energy resource that is almost entirely uncoordinated.
This project treats those parked EVs as a programmable grid asset. Each vehicle can:
Discharge (V2G) — sell stored energy back to the grid during stress events.
Shift load (Smart Charge) — charge only during off-peak windows when electricity is cheap.
Run inference (Compute) — participate in distributed AI compute tasks during idle hours.
The system continuously decides which mode each vehicle should be in, hour by hour, based on real grid conditions, time-of-use pricing, and compute demand signals.
