# Arkreen

> Arkreen (Arkreen Network) turns real-world renewable energy into verifiable
> on-chain assets and cash flows. It operates the world's largest retail
> on-chain green certificate marketplace and is building EnergyFi — the
> financial coordination layer that makes energy cash flows verifiable,
> programmable, and composable.

Key facts (as of 2025 year end):
- 300,000+ distributed green energy data nodes connected globally
- 140 GWh of on-chain renewable energy certificates (RECs) issued, consumed, and monetized via the AREC protocol
- 160,000+ Bitcoin blocks greened through GreenBTC.Club
- 1,700,000+ on-chain climate actions, offsetting roughly 7,000 tonnes of CO2
- Deployed across Polygon, Celo, BNB Chain, and Solana
- Native token: AKRE (payments across issuance, settlement, consumption; monthly burn)

What Arkreen is building now:
- Energy Tokenization (live in Thailand): commercial solar plants split into
  globally ownable 100W units; on-chain metering drives automated stablecoin
  distributions to asset owners (product: Power Yield).
- Community Energy (trials in Africa): eCandle pairs 200W solar with 1 kWh
  storage; users pay per charge in stablecoins and every payment settles to
  all builders by smart contract in real time.
- Energy -> Compute (pilots in Australia): the dVPP protocol dispatches
  surplus household solar into flexible compute — Bitcoin mining today,
  edge AI next.

Core thesis: the internet decoupled information from location; DeFi decoupled
finance from banks; Arkreen decouples energy value from centralized
infrastructure. Wherever energy is distributed, ownership and value flow
should be distributed too.
