Energy-What is a peer to peer (P2P) energy market and how does it work on a blockchain ?
By: Antoine Palloteau, Thomas Sarkis, Chiara Montoya Zanella Sub question : What is the added value of blockchain in a P2P energy market ? Peer to peer (P2P) energy market What is a peer to peer (P2P) energy market ? A peer-to-peer (P2P) energy market is a decentralized energy trading system where individuals, businesses, or communities can directly buy and sell electricity among themselves, without relying on traditional energy suppliers or centralized grid operators. In this model,...
How can tokenization and decentralized finance support the energy transition
Guillaume Atoch Gil & Marinella Ginevra Key definitions A. Energy Transition The energy transition is what economists and policy-makers call the global shift from fossil fuel-based energy systems (coal, oil, gas) to sustainable and renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, etc.). The principal aim of this transition is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus mitigate the effects of climate change. B. Tokenization Tokenization is the process of converting rights to an asset into a...
Session 4 : How Blockchain Improves Smart Grids: The Case of the Energy Web Token (EWT)
Blockchain technology is emerging as a powerful catalyst for transforming energy systems, particularly through smart grids. These digitally enhanced electricity networks benefit from blockchain's ability to decentralize, automate, and secure energy flows and data. One of the most promising applications is peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading: thanks to blockchain, households equipped with solar panels can now sell excess electricity directly to neighbors, bypassing traditional intermediaries....

Farm Tokens: Locking Value, Earning Rewards
Category Overview — What are Farm Protocols? Farm protocols are decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms that allow users to lock (or “stake”) their assets—usually stablecoins or major cryptocurrencies—in exchange for a reward token issued by the protocol itself. This process is known as “farming” or “yield farming.” In simple terms, users deposit money into the protocol, and in return, they receive a token that represents their share or rewards. The idea is to incentivize liquidity and...
Inass’s work : Liquid restaking TVL rankings – Ether.fi
Liquid restaking is an innovative concept in decentralised finance (DeFi) that maximises the utility and returns of staked assets. While traditional staking involves locking up cryptocurrencies to support network operations in exchange for rewards, liquid restaking takes this a step further by issuing tokenised representations of the staked assets. These tokens can be used simultaneously in other DeFi applications (such as lending, borrowing, or trading) while the original assets continue to...
