We’re thrilled to announce that OpenVPP $OVPP has been chosen as a Circle Grant recipient!   Circle is helping bring the global economy onchain with $USDC and a set of developer-first tools designed to make building with digital dollars easy, secure, and scalable.   With Circle’s support, we’re excited to accelerate what we’re building and unlocking new possibilities through fast, cost-efficient, and interoperable onchain experiences.   Explore the program and meet the latest cohort of grantees here @circle cq2m904.na1.hubspotlinks.com…
Building the future of programmable money takes real builders shipping real systems. We’re excited to announce the first cohort of 2026 Circle Developer Grant recipients: @AgriDexPlatform @BeeezoHive @BlockradarHQ @BuFi_Global @CashmereLabs @ArrelTechnology (DAPL - Digital Asset Platform) @dzap_io @flezpay @gcrx_io @HurupayApp @myazahq @OpenVPP @payritHQ @rebelfi_io @usesfxmoneyapp @thurmanlabs @TidesHQ @trumarket_tech This group stood out for technical depth, execution velocity, and clear paths to production across: → AI financial agents → Payments & treasury → Capital markets & FX → DeFi & liquidity → Real-world assets Many are already integrating Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP, with early Arc experimentation underway. We’re proud to back teams that are already demonstrating real-world utility on stablecoin infrastructure. Beyond funding, we’ll work closely with these founders as they build—offering resources, guidance, and hands-on support as they integrate Circle products like Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP (with Arc on their roadmap).

Reprioritizing affordability for grid modernization starts at our agentic onchain metering platform for DERs. @GridRailsAi, the IP license partner of @OpenVPP, is pitching alongside this lineup of the world's most promising startups to the most influential sponsors in energy. 🌐 gridforward.org/conference/g… Together $OVPP x GR AI have tokenized over 1 GWhs of flexibile capacity onchain for the next generation of our electric grid operations. --> Batteries, EV chargers, smart panels, thermostats and solar inverters stream interval telemetry signed at the edge. --> Each reading is minted onchain as an ERC-1155 token on EVM, with one standard covering many asset types and event classes. --> Agents on each device respond to grid signals, verify delivered flexibility and settle via machine-to-machine nanopayments. Utilities gain a verifiable, auditable record of every kWh shifted or shed. Customers get paid per event in real time. Aggregators and OEMs plug into one open and trustless settlement layer. Affordable capacity, measured and settled at the edge. See you at GridFWD. Cliff Lodge, Utah Sept. 29 - 30th. The Internet of Energy.
We are excited for the Innovation Pitch Competition next week at GridFWD ⚡️

Yes it was a great sit down!! Tokenized assets are increasingly becoming a powerful segment of the onchain economy. Energy is something that I’ve been passionate about for years and even wrote about in published paper. Happy to see companies like @OpenVPP and others explore and test out the capabilities.
We had an incredible time at Arc mainnet launch in NYC. We discussed what’s next for @OpenVPP with @samconnerone on the developer pre show. We’ve already tokenized over 1 GWh of globally distributed energy assets as RWAs on @arc. Next comes the strategic dispatch of these assets with our institutional electric utility partners at the grid edge. More to come, join the clean energy revolution by adding your EVs, smart thermostats, solar, and energy storage systems: arc.openvpp.energy 🌐 $OVPP The Internet of Energy.

Arc 🤝 OpenVPP OpenVPP is live on Arc from day one. What it unlocks: → Over 1 GWh of flexible, decentralized energy capacity onchain. → Real-time energy settlement across EVs, smart thermostats, energy storage, solar, and data centers as Tokenized RWAs on Arc. → Institutional-grade settlement and agentic nanopayments for grid operators and regulated electric utility providers. Explore / build / learn more: arc.openvpp.energy/ @Arc
Arc Mainnet is live. Arc launches as the Economic OS for the internet: an open platform for global markets, real-time value movement, tokenized assets, and agentic economic activity. Arc is more than a blockchain. It launches as a full-stack financial platform with assets, applications, interoperability, developer infrastructure, and Circle platform services live from day one. Arc delivers USDC as native gas, deterministic sub-second finality, EVM compatibility, and institutional validators. It integrates with Arc Studio, App Kits, Arc Portal, Circle Agent Stack, CCTP, Gateway, CPN, and StableFX. A complete economic platform at genesis. Arc launches with infrastructure for: → Agentic economic workflows → Lending and borrowing → Trading and liquidity → Onchain FX → Payments and settlement → Tokenized assets → Exchanges, wallets, custody, compliance, data, and developer tooling 190+ institutional and ecosystem builders are building across Arc.

We're excited to share that OpenVPP World has surpassed 1,000 Metric Tons of CO2 Offset. 🌐 world.openvpp.energy/ This is equivalent to: ~Taking approximately 230 gasoline cars off the road for one year. ~The annual energy-related emissions of approximately 130 homes. ~CO₂ emissions from burning about 112,500 gallons of gasoline. ~CO₂ approximately 16,700 urban trees would capture in one year. ~The emissions from driving an average gasoline vehicle approximately 2.54 million miles. ~2,000 round-trip economy flights, roughly comparable to the emissions from thousands of passenger flights, depending heavily on route and methodology. ~1 million kWh of electricity, comparable to the CO₂ emissions associated with around 1 million kWh of U.S. electricity generation, depending on the grid mix. ~Equivalent to the emissions from burning about 112,500 gallons of gasoline. base:0x8c0d3adcf8ce094e1ae437557ec90a6374dc9bdd The Internet of Energy.

Arc was built for developers exploring what’s possible when stablecoins, wallets, and programmable payments come together. @OpenVPP is using Arc Testnet to explore real-time energy settlement across EVs, utilities, and grid-connected devices, including: → Stablecoin settlement → Gas-sponsored wallets → Machine-to-machine payments → Nanopayments for grid data access As a proof of concept, OpenVPP has built a grid-balancing agent that pays $0.0001 in USDC every 4 seconds to access grid frequency and pricing data, evaluate a battery dispatch decision, and track the resulting data cost.

EVs are power plants on wheels. @MichaelGMarin explains how that capacity can support the grid, provided it can be coordinated across vehicles, suppliers, and systems. GR brings those assets onto the network so participation can be measured and settled at the event level.

OpenVPP World Tokenization standard turns any DER into an onchain smart metered device. Today, M&V (measurement & verification) is the slowest part of the grid. A solar array, a battery, an EV charger, a smart thermostat, each one produces or curtails real energy, and each one waits weeks or months for that energy to be measured, verified, credited, and finally paid, typically via gift card or on bill credits. The meter and the money live in different systems, reconciled by hand. The standard collapses them into one. When a DER is tokenized, its output isn't a data point that later becomes a payment --> it is the payment. Energy and money clear in the same instant, in a single transaction. Settlement is immediate, and M&V stops being a back-office process months after the fact; it becomes a property of the asset itself. This runs on ERC-1155, the EVM multi-token standard that handles fungible, non-fungible, and semi-fungible tokens inside a single smart contract. That matters more than it sounds. A DER isn't one kind of thing: the device is unique, its kWh are interchangeable, and its capacity, credits, and attributes sit somewhere in between. Open standard for all smart energy devices globally. Metered, verified, and paid in the same instant. 🌐 world.openvpp.energy/ $OVPP Programmable money for programmable power.
