The funding will accelerate the development of the Daylight Network, which aims to create a decentralized electric grid designed to improve affordability and reliability by connecting capital directly to power generation.
At the core of this system is "DayFi," a DeFi protocol that allows investors to gain exposure to electricity as an asset class — transforming the electron into what the company calls “a new form of digital commodity.”
Daylight said it envisions an energy infrastructure that scales “through community,” allowing users to contribute to — and profit from — a decentralized, onchain power grid.
