What Powerledger is
Powerledger (POWR) is a technology company building software for distributed and decentralised energy markets. It has developed a blockchain-based platform for tracking and trading energy, flexibility services and environmental commodities, aimed at a market-driven grid that gives consumers choice in their energy supply. The company is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, and operates in more than 10 countries. It was founded in 2016 to address the intermittency problems that solar and wind introduce to electricity grids.
Powerledger operates on two blockchain layers. The POWR token is an ERC-20 token issued on Ethereum, functioning as a licence that utilities, renewable energy operators, microgrids and property developers need to access the platform; it is intended to also pay for transactions in future. Actual energy transactions are processed on a separate, native Powerledger blockchain built on Solana, chosen for greater scalability than running everything on Ethereum. The company's software is used by utilities and corporations to track and trade electricity at the kilowatt level.
POWR is a platform access token, not a claim on company equity or a direct medium for energy trading itself — that function sits on the separate Powerledger blockchain, whose usage and transaction volume are not covered here. The token has traded since June 2017 and exists as an ERC-20 asset on Ethereum, with a presence also recorded on Energi. CoinGecko lists it among assets flagged as alleged unregistered securities by the SEC, a classification worth noting rather than interpreting. Its value depends on institutional adoption by utilities and energy operators, a slower and less visible process than typical retail-driven token demand, and the passage offers no figures on how many businesses currently hold or use the licence.
Where POWR lives
On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
