Energyverse
Tokenizing Renewable Energy Assets.
Project Overview
Energyverse is the first platform to tokenize renewable energy assets (solar/wind farms) on the blockchain in Africa, enabling fractional ownership for investors. It combines Web3 transparency with real-world impact, addressing climate change while generating financial returns.

The Challenge
- Limited access to clean energy in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially for MSMEs.
- High capital barriers prevent retail and institutional investors from participating in renewable projects.
- Liquidity constraints slow down energy project development in emerging markets.
- Lack of transparency and trust between project developers, financiers, and end users.
My Role
As Head of Business & Product Strategy, I led platform strategy, market research, tokenomics design, and stakeholder coordination. I defined user flows, monetization models, and product requirements, while collaborating with blockchain engineers, designers, and energy partners.
Solution
We developed a Web2.5 hybrid platform that combines:
- Smart energy matching between businesses and developers.
- Blockchain tokenization ($AEV) of real-world energy assets for on-chain fractional ownership.
- Integrated fintech: wallets, escrow, staking, and disbursements.
- Real-time performance tracking using IoT + Oracle data for carbon and energy yield validation.
- DAO-based governance for investor and community involvement.
Key Features
- $AEV Token: Represents fractional ownership of solar/wind farms.
- Staking Mechanism: Investors stake tokens on projects to earn ROI and carbon credits.
- Real-World Integration: IoT meters stream energy production data on-chain.
- Smart Contracts: Handle disbursements, profit-sharing, and milestone verification.
- Project Workspace: Collaborators manage proposals, contracts, and tracking.
