The number of users of the energy DePIN network Starpower, invested by Solana Ventures, has recently surpassed 100,000, further solidifying its position as the largest energy DePIN in the world by user count. At the same time, Starpower has achieved integration with Apple and Google Home, realizing a unique reverse access solution for home power devices: users can now seamlessly call their home power devices through the Starpower App, enabling connection, control, and energy data collection, and earn $STAR rewards.
This update marks a breakthrough for Starpower in building a decentralized energy network of "devices as nodes," with the number of network access devices experiencing explosive growth in just a few days. By bridging the Apple and Google Home ecosystems, Starpower not only achieves large-scale access to home energy devices but also significantly lowers the barrier for ordinary users to participate in the Web3 energy network.
"We are connecting the future energy internet with the devices around you," said Starpower co-founder Darcy.
Starpower's vision is to build a global, user-driven virtual power plant (VPP) network, where every connected device can participate in energy consumption data collection, responsive scheduling, supply-demand adjustment, and other services, earning $STAR incentives. Previously, Starpower has collaborated with leading global new energy device manufacturers to release devices covering generation, storage, and consumption scenarios.
The integration of the Apple and Google Home platforms allows users to directly incorporate existing smart home devices (such as smart lights, air conditioners, sockets, cameras, etc.) into the Starpower network without relying on Starpower-authorized hardware, becoming certified "energy nodes," truly achieving "universal access and participation."
Starpower stated that the next step will be to gradually open integration with other smart home ecosystems (such as Amazon Alexa, Tuya, etc.), while also using AI to analyze electricity usage behavior, achieving more precise device identification and scheduling capabilities. Starpower hopes to use pioneering technology to truly bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, enabling the Web3 energy network to achieve widespread adoption with higher efficiency, lower costs, and broader coverage.
It is reported that Starpower has previously completed a $5 million financing round, with investors including Alliance DAO, Framework Ventures, and Solana Ventures.
