2 – Power Ledger | Solana Integration to Scale-up Its Existing Suite of Services
Power Ledger declared it will migrate its own Powerledger Energy Blockchain from Ethereum to a Solana-based blockchain. The team stated that Power Ledger wanted a blockchain technology with higher transaction throughput. Hence, the team has decided to migrate to a Solana-based blockchain.
Solana is a high-performance, permissionless blockchain, which is tens of thousands of times faster than Ethereum and is also energy-efficient. With this integration, Solana will scale up Power Ledger’s existing suite of services. These services include peer-to-peer trading, flexibility services, applications, energy traceability, and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).
Power Ledger will be migrating from Ethereum to Solana and providing delegated staking to POWR holders.
We are excited to announce this change, as Solana can easily support a scale-up of our existing suite of services.
