SESSION 1
Speaker: Kamil Witkowski
Title: Head of Engineering Operations, Energy Web
Topic: Worker Node & SmartFlow Technology
This session provided insights from a business-oriented perspective on how worker nodes are effectively leveraged in enterprise solutions.
Overview of Energy Web X (EWX)
Energy Web X is a Polkadot parachain featuring a specialized worker node pallet, which facilitates operator subscriptions, worker linkage, solution group creation, and lifecycle management. Significant enhancements to this pallet are planned for 2025.
Launchpad & Smartflow
Launchpad hosts Smartflow, enabling users to deploy logic to IPFS, manage solution groups, and maintain solutions. Worker nodes are lightweight off-chain runners available through Marketplace, Launchpad’s managed offerings, or open-source distributions. These nodes handle solution verification and blockchain interactions.
Benefits:
-
Easy setup with low barriers to entry
-
Cost efficiency and platform agnosticism
-
Simple integration into existing systems
Usage Categories of Worker Nodes:
-
Primary: Worker nodes control or fully replace app functionalities.
-
Reactive: Worker nodes enhance existing systems with blockchain capabilities, improving security, verifiability, and incentivization without replacing core functionalities.
Four Core Use Case Types:
-
Trustless Execution: Secure decentralized execution in multi-party scenarios.
-
Verifiability: Transparency and auditable operations.
-
Participant Incentivization: Effective decentralization of rewards.
-
Blockchain Privacy: Secure hashing of sensitive data and governance management.
Highlighted Enterprise Use Cases:
-
SAFc: Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificate verification (issuance, transfer, retirement).
-
GP4EV: Certification management for green EV charging sessions.
-
GP4BTC: Continuous validation of Bitcoin miners' green credentials.
-
Omega-X: Trustless verification for EV charging and solar prosumer certifications across countries.
-
InEEXs: MRV process digitization and verification via blockchain for energy savings.
-
Intelligent & U2DEMO: P2P energy trading with decentralized bid and offer matching.
-
ECS4DRES: Management and validation of green hydrogen certificates.
-
OEP/ZEL: Decentralized management of electricity operational adjustments and zero export limits.
Recent Developments:
We've introduced EWT-based payments on Launchpad, which directly fund solution group rewards, boosting ecosystem engagement and adoption.

SESSION 2
Energy Web Dive 2025 - Day 4: Roadmap and Utility Highlights
Speakers:
-
Mani Hagh Sefat, Chief Technology Officer
-
Daniyal Ajdadi, Director of Marketing and Communications
Topic: Energy Web’s Strategic Roadmap and Token Utility
Session 2 of the final day of Energy Web Dive 2025, led by Mani Hagh Sefat and Daniyal Ajdadi, provided a comprehensive overview of Energy Web's significant accomplishments in 2024 and outlined plans for 2025.
2024 Achievements: A Year of Breakthroughs
The past year saw Energy Web Launchpad establish itself as a leading SaaS platform for enterprise blockchain solutions, introducing API & RPC services, Worker Nodes, Validator and Collator Nodes as a Service, and integrated EWT Payments. The Energy Web X (EWX) parachain achieved remarkable growth, with over 9.8 million EWT tokens lifted and more than 1,800 worker node subscriptions globally. The Marketplace was expanded to a web-based platform to facilitate easier enterprise engagement.
Key projects successfully delivered include:
-
SAFc Registry for sustainable aviation fuel tracking.
-
Green Proofs for Bitcoin with PayPal.
-
Green Proofs for Electric Vehicles (EVs) with multiple initiatives, including AutoGreenCharge.
-
Katalist for maritime sustainability, featured at COP29.
Energy Web also pioneered Carbon-Aware Compute for workload scheduling, significantly expanded project scope in Australia, and integrated blockchain solutions across numerous EU projects.
Roadmap 2025: Strategic Innovations and Utility
Energy Web’s 2025 roadmap highlights transformative initiatives:
Q1 Delivered:
-
EWT Payment integration
-
Cross-chain messaging (XCM) support
-
Web-based marketplace
-
Open-source server-based worker nodes
-
Nomination and Carbon-Aware compute
Upcoming Initiatives:
-
Q2: Native bridging (EWX & Ethereum), dynamic token supply adjustments, Liquid Staking, and Bring Your Own Token (BYOT).
-
Q3: Expansion to native bridging, EWX permissionless Proof-of-Stake, and enhanced worker pallets.
-
Q4: Launch of decentralized BYOE worker networks, open governance frameworks, and a refined dynamic token supply model based on demand.
Dynamic Supply Adjustment
Energy Web introduces a dynamic token model responsive to real-time network demands and market activities. This adaptive model balances token issuance (demand-side growth) and token absorption (utility-linked supply reduction), ensuring ecosystem stability, sustainability, and market-aligned growth.
Carbon-Aware Nomination System
A novel Carbon-Aware nomination mechanism prioritizes worker nodes with optimal environmental profiles. This system uses real-time carbon intensity forecasting to dynamically select environmentally efficient nodes for computing tasks, embedding sustainability directly into blockchain operations.
Token Economics & Utility
The strategic integration of staked Energy Web Tokens (EWT) allows community members to actively participate in network security (staking) and decentralized computing tasks (worker nodes). Contributors earn rewards in multiple tokens, including ETH, USDC, and BTC, creating a versatile, rewarding ecosystem.
Conclusion
Energy Web’s robust roadmap and innovative token economics emphasize decentralization, sustainability, and utility. These developments underscore Energy Web’s commitment to reshaping the blockchain landscape through scalable, user-friendly solutions and sustainable blockchain operations.
Stay tuned for further detailed announcements and documentation as Energy Web continues its groundbreaking journey.
