(EW-DOS)

This system is an open source stack of decentralized software and standards including the Energy Web Chain and various software development toolkits (SDKs).

EW-DOS is the grid’s new digital DNA, a shared technology running on a decentralized network maintained by some of the world’s most-respected energy companies.

EW-DOS supports two primary use cases: 1) clean energy and carbon emissions traceability and 2) using distributed energy resources to increase grid flexibility.

EW-DOS leverages self-sovereign decentralized identifiers, a series of decentralized registries, messaging services and integrations with legacy information technology systems to facilitate transactions between billions of assets, customers, grid operators, service providers and retailers.

EW-DOS is the vision for a stack of open-source software and standards enabling market participants to digitally orchestrate low-carbon electricity systems.

It is a ‘blockchain-plus’ approach that includes the Energy Web Chain and other core digital infrastructure, SDKs such as EW Origin and EW Flexhub and a variety of decentralized but off-chain solutions and legacy IT integrations.
