Starpower: Decentralized Energy Protocol Built on Solana

Starpower is a decentralized energy network

Starpower (https://www.starpower.world/) partners with leading renewable energy device manufacturers to aggregate solar panels, batteries, EVs, and appliances into a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN). This aggregation addresses the volatility of renewable energy sources and meets the rising energy demands of AI systems.
Starpower is the largest energy DePIN on Solana.
The protocol connects devices such as air conditioners, home storage batteries, and electric vehicles. Usage-based algorithms optimize energy efficiency, reduce costs, and stabilize the grid by coordinating device charging and discharging. Starpower builds infrastructure to mitigate renewable energy variability, positioning itself as a long-term solution in the global energy transition.

Aggregation Model

Similar to how Uber aggregates vehicles globally, Starpower aggregates energy devices worldwide.
Devices including air conditioners, water heaters, EVs, solar panels, and storage batteries—whether in homes, malls, or factories—can be integrated via hardware or software to earn $STAR rewards.
This distributed network enables virtual power plants, demand response systems, energy efficiency optimization, and monetization of energy data. The decentralized model enhances grid resilience and allows individuals and businesses to participate in the energy market, turning each connected device into a functional asset.

What is $STAR

$STAR is the utility token of the Starpower network. It enables call services for Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and incentivizes device connectivity. $STAR facilitates virtual power plants and energy internet markets, accelerating the transition to a zero-carbon world. 70% of $STAR is reserved for builders—users, stakeholders, and contributors—reflecting Starpower’s belief that all participants are stewards of the planet. Total supply: 1 billion $STAR tokens.

Consensus Mechanism

Reward Mechanism Design
Starpower’s incentive model evolves through three stages:

• Proof of Connectivity (PoCn)
• Proof of Capacity (PoC)
• Proof of Response (PoR)

Rewards are distributed weekly based on device connectivity and power usage. Initially, only Basic Connected Incentives are active.

Burn Mechanism

1. Power Company Collaboration

Users pay bills with $STAR → VPP providers receive tokens → Starpower repurchases and burns tokens → Circulating supply reduced.

2. Device Sales & Licensing

Revenue from hardware and network licenses → Portion used to repurchase and burn $STAR.

3. SaaS Product Revenue

SaaS income → Partial allocation for $STAR buyback and burn → Permanent supply reduction.
