Chain4Energy (C4E) utilizes its Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) Layer 1 Blockchain platform to create a versatile ecosystem that supports stakeholders across sectors such as energy and e-mobility. Founded by Dominik Skrobacz, Greg Sikora, and Paweł Borecki, the project combines expertise in blockchain, marketing, and the energy sector to address modern infrastructure challenges. ^{[1] [3]}

Overview

Chain4Energy (C4E) is a blockchain-based project and its Layer 1 blockchain platform facilitates secure transactions, transparent operations, and efficient automation, fostering a decentralized approach to infrastructure management. The C4E ecosystem incorporates technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), AI, and blockchain to create scalable solutions for energy management, trading, and decentralized infrastructure development.

Key components include real-world asset (RWA) tokenization for digitizing energy assets, a blockchain-based energy management and trading suite, and interoperability through the Cosmos IBC protocol, enabling seamless communication between blockchains. C4E's focus extends beyond energy, exploring the broader potential of DePIN architecture and blockchain to build interconnected, sustainable, and adaptive digital ecosystems. ^[2]

Ecosystem

• DeEC (Decentralized Energy Communities): Facilitates seamless energy trading within the C4E ecosystem, enabling secure and transparent transactions. By leveraging blockchain technology, it supports a dynamic marketplace for exchanging energy resources.
• DeTrack (Decantralized Energy Tracking): Provides a comprehensive solution for tracking and managing energy production and consumption data. Utilizing blockchain-based records, it ensures accurate monitoring, helping users optimize energy usage and improve efficiency.
• ChargEra (EV Charging Network): Simplifies the electric vehicle (EV) charging process by offering a secure platform for payments and settlements. It benefits both EV owners and charging station hosts, promoting a seamless charging experience.
• DeGEP (Decentralized Green Energy Proofs): Introduces blockchain-based certification for renewable energy production, offering a transparent and immutable record of green energy generation. This enhances trust and allows stakeholders to verify renewable energy sources confidently. ^{[4] [7]}

Tokenomics

Chain4Energy Token ($C4E)

The C4E token is a core component of the C4E ecosystem, designed to support its decentralized infrastructure and provide value to various stakeholders. Operating on a Cosmos SDK-based and IBC-compatible blockchain, the token facilitates essential platform functions, including staking, transactions, and ecosystem incentives. ^{[5] [6]}

Utilities

The C4E token serves several key functions within the C4E ecosystem:

• Transaction Fees: The C4E token is used to pay transaction fees (gas) on the C4E blockchain. Fees are distributed among validators and delegators for maintaining network security, with a portion burned to encourage token scarcity.
• Staking: Users can stake C4E tokens by delegating them to validator nodes, enhancing network security. In return, participants earn rewards from transaction fees and token inflation, incentivizing active network involvement.
• Governance: Validators and delegators participate in governance by voting on proposals to shape the platform’s development. High participation rates demonstrate strong community engagement in decision-making processes.
• Product Discounts: Holders who lock their tokens in the vault during contract periods, which can last up to five years, receive discounts on energy products, offering tangible long-term benefits.
• Access to Services: The token provides access to premium products and services on the C4E platform and from its partners. Even when users pay in fiat, the platform converts payments to C4E, ensuring token integration across services. ^{[6] [5]}

Allocation

The allocation of the C4E token is structured to support liquidity, incentivize key stakeholders, and drive ecosystem growth:

1. Liquidity: 6.67%2. Advisors and Founders: 13.33% combined3. Marketing and Ecosystem Growth: 36.67% combined4. Treasury DAO/Community Pool: 13.33% combined The total supply of C4E tokens is 300,000,000, with an initial circulating supply of 8.26 million, designed to minimize price volatility and promote sustainable growth. ^[8] C4E has been listed in June 2024 on several DEXs and CEXs such as MEXC, XT, Osmosis and PancakeSwap.

Partnerships

C4E is a member in the FetchAI Foundation which hosts members such as Bosch, Deutsche Telekomm, Peaq Network, DTravel & Nuklai. Through this membership C4E is committed to growth, sustainability, and technological impact in the AI, decentralized agents, and Web3 sectors. 

The partnership with Soarchain aims at advancing the Cosmos ecosystem and the DePIN protocol, all while introducing C4E and our ChargEra platform to the wider e-mobility network.

C4E has been also collaborating with GameSwift, and both projects communities have been engaged in gamified activities and the projects are also shaping together the future of DePIN & GameFi ecosystems.

In partnership with Native, C4E aims to integrate Bitcoin’s liquidity and security into its platform, enhancing energy and e-mobility solutions. This collaboration focuses on cross-chain transfers, multi-chain liquidity management, and expanding Bitcoin's utility across C4E and the IBC ecosystem. ^[9]

C4E collaboration with Yieldmos allows users to optimize staking rewards with non-custodial yield strategies. The partnership aligns with C4E’s focus on decentralization and offers users better investment management options while promoting DePIN and energy solutions within the Cosmos ecosystem. ^[10]

C4E is also working with the BMW Foundation and Blockchain City on a decentralized energy-sharing project in Mińsk Mazowiecki. This initiative, part of the RISE Cities program, integrates C4E tokens for energy exchange in local EV charging networks, promoting blockchain technology for practical urban applications aligned with sustainable development goals. ^[11]
