October 17, 2024 – Minima is proud to announce an innovative partnership with CPIN (Clean Physical Infrastructure Network), a pioneer in the fractionalization of energy-based Real World Assets (specifically solar panels). CPIN is building a global, decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) focussed on solar energy generation and the monetization of large photovoltaic datasets. This collaboration will redefine the way energy data is secured and validated within the renewable energy sector, using Minima’s unique embedded blockchain technology.
By incorporating Minima’s unique technology, CPIN is addressing a key challenge in the energy sector—data provenance within sensor networks. Traditionally, data feeds have required intermediaries or third-party validation, but with Minima’s hyper-local attestation, CPIN eliminates the need for trust-based systems. This partnership provides buyers of energy data with the confidence that the information they receive is untampered, leading to an increased market premium on these trustless datasets.
Minima’s extremely low resource requirements allow CPIN to collocate the blockchain node right at the data source, something that would be impossible for other blockchains which require transmission of your data to a remote node source for it to be put on-chain. This strategic collaboration will integrate Minima's cutting-edge hyper-local data attestation technology within CPIN’s Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), transforming each solar DER into a core node within Minima’s Layer 1 network. This innovative approach enables each DER to not only secure the blockchain network but also locally sign and hash, on-chain, every data packet at the source, ensuring that energy data is verified and tamper-proof from its point of origin.
“We are excited to partner with CPIN to bring our hyper-local data attestation technology to their Distributed Energy Resources,” said Hugo Feiler, CEO of Minima. “By enabling solar DERs to act as core nodes within our network, we are enhancing the security, transparency, and value of renewable energy data, which is a key step in driving innovation in decentralized energy systems.”
“This partnership with Minima is a pivotal step forward in our mission to decentralize and secure energy data for the renewable energy ecosystem,” said Harun Sarikurt, CEO of CPIN. “By utilizing Minima’s tamper-proofing technology, we are ensuring the highest level of trust in our data, which ultimately empowers communities to contribute to a sustainable energy future.”
