Digital Platformer Acquires Patent for Blockchain Power Trading Technology Enabling P2P Electricity Trading

Digital Platformer Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter 'the Company') is pleased to announce that it has acquired a patent for an invention related to blockchain technology that links the power generation of renewable energy with power consumption in real-time, enabling P2P electricity trading.

■ Patent Overview
- Name of Invention: Electricity trading system, electricity trading method, and program
- Patent Number: Patent No. 7850426
- Patent Holder: Digital Platformer Inc.

■ Key Technological Points
This patent is an innovative mechanism that makes real-time electricity trading, previously considered difficult, possible by treating electricity as a 'time-constrained digital asset.'

1. Tokenization of Electricity (Green Coin)
Virtual coins are generated according to the amount of renewable energy generated and linked directly to the amount of electricity.

2. Simultaneous Supply and Demand Control via Timestamps
A generation time is assigned to each coin, which is automatically invalidated after a certain period of time.
By assigning a generation time, the real-time nature of electricity consumption is guaranteed, maintaining the supply-demand balance.

3. Full Traceability via Blockchain
Power generation type, location, cost, etc., are linked and recorded in an unalterable format.
The origin, distribution, and consumption of electricity are consistently visualized.

4. Dynamic Price Formation
The value of the coin fluctuates according to supply and demand conditions, time, distance, etc.
Real-time optimization of electricity prices based on market principles is realized.

Overall Scheme of Real-time Electricity Trading

■ Realization of a P2P Electricity Network
This technology makes it possible to build the foundation for a decentralized energy society as follows:
- Direct electricity trading between homes, businesses, and EVs (P2P electricity distribution)
- Local production for local consumption of renewable energy
- Formation of a decentralized electricity market
- Real-time marketization of electricity

Furthermore, by combining smart meters and a decentralized control network, optimal power distribution and peak shifting on an area basis are also achievable.

■ Background and Significance
With the expansion of renewable energy, the constraint unique to power infrastructure known as 'simultaneous supply and demand' has become a major challenge.

This patent is a technology that redefines the very structure of the traditional electricity market through a new approach:
- Designing electricity as a 'value with time constraints'
- Autonomously controlling supply and demand through the lifespan of tokens
- Establishing electricity trading in a decentralized environment

■ Future Developments
Based on this patent, the Company will promote the social implementation of:
- Green energy traceability (ESG/DPP domains)
- Regional Energy DAOs
- Convergence of electricity and finance (tokenized assets)
- Energy platforms as decentralized infrastructure

■ Company Overview
Digital Platformer Inc. promotes digital transformation in the finance, energy, and public sectors by building a 'trust infrastructure' utilizing DID/VC, Sovereign ID/VC, blockchain, MPC, and more.
