Green is a global, decentralized network of nodes that invert AC electricity into BC (Blockchain Current) using a proprietary blockchain protocol called Proof of Power. Green provides an energy efficient alternative to traditional blockchain mining. Green Nodes provide the energy needed to support the blockchain and are compensated in GREEN, the native ERC20 digital reward of the Green blockchain. The Green blockchain is a novel public blockchain built from the ground up to incentivize the contribution of low cost and renewable energy to support the blockchain.

Today, the Green blockchain, and its thousands of active nodes, invert and contribute the power required each day to confirm thousands of energy transfer transactions on the blockchain.

This documentation provides details on the novel technology that underpins Green, as well as how to earn GREEN, using a variety of connected devices. Our community has published this documentation to educate node operators and to inspire future development and innovation on the Green blockchain.

In July 2014, early blockchain pioneers recognized the long-term environmental impact of the expansion of blockchain mining around the globe. They imagined a smarter, better way to build the first carbon negative blockchain. Today, more than 5,000 active green smart nodes contribute low-cost and renewable energy to power the Green blockchain. Green is the first blockchain to reward and incentivize the adoption of renewable energy production by individuals, corporations, municipalities and nations.

The Green blockchain is pioneering even better ways to incentivize renewable energy sources. In 2017, the community created the Green Solar initiative enabling users of GREEN to reduce the overall cost of ownership of advanced solar power systems. The community is committed to building an eco-minded network by rewarding sensible energy production and consumption.
