Green United, LLC originally began the Green project in 2017-2018. As the project has decentralized, Green United no longer governs the project. The Green Distributed Governance Framework Charter was implemented in 2023, giving governing authority for GREEN to the Green node owners.
A supporter of the project at this time is Set Power Free. Set Power Free is a company that is building blockchain-based products and services on the Green Blockchain with the ambitious mission of decentralizing the power grid and making renewable energy accessible worldwide.
Project Roadmap
2018 Project Launch
The Green Projected launched on July 4th, 2018. It started by selling hardware nodes where users received GREEN ERC-20 tokens for running the hardware.
2019 v1 PowerPay
Launched the first version of PowerPay, allowing token holders to pay their power using the GREEN tokens they earned through running their nodes.
2020 Software Nodes
In 2020, the hardware nodes were deprecated, and new software nodes were developed. These nodes took the place of the old hardware nodes. Technology has improved to the point where the Green Miner works on normal users' computers, and specialized hardware is no longer needed.
2022 New Site
In conjunction with a community member, Set Power Free, Green launched a new site to handle digital rewards, minting to the Ethereum network, and viewing rewards for actions taken such as referrals and running nodes.
2023 New Reward Chain and PowerPay v2
2023 marked a banner year for Green. The community enacted a DGF and Node Network Charter. Together, they launched a native blockchain (Reward Chain). Set Power Free, a Green Community member, started work on the second version of PowerPay.
2024 and beyond
The vision for Green remains the same as it always has: to decentralize the power grid, allowing anyone to participate via hosting Green nodes, earning digital rewards, and paying for their power using the GREEN ERC-20 tokens. Couple that with the new PowerPay product and users will have a place to use their GREEN ERC-20 tokens.
