Q. What is the incentive for investors to keep our tokens after the Token Generation Event?
A. Token holders will have access to the Power Ledger platform. They can potentially use POWR tokens to purchase electricity when the Power Ledger platform becomes available in their area. Token holders can also participate in Asset Germination events by submitting POWR tokens. By keeping hold of POWR tokens you won’t have to buy them on an exchange later if you decide to use the platform. As we on-board more participants there will be a requirement for more POWR tokens either in circulation throughout the eco-system or escrowed in a SmartBond.

Asset Germination Events are defined in our White Paper as:

    ‘the sale or crowdfunding of an autonomous renewable energy asset which allocates ownership and distribution of income’.

In simple language, they are events whereby POWR token holders can purchase a fraction of ownership of a renewable energy asset, be allocated its revenue accordingly to its share of the asset, and even trade their ownership with other POWR holders.

Further information about Asset Germination Events:

    Crowd-fund renewable energy assets on the blockchain
    Contributors will be allocated revenue of the asset based on their proportion of ownership.
    Power Ledger is the first platform to offer the ability to trade ownership of these assets. If a contributor needs immediate liquidity they can sell it through our platform to other buyers.
    An asset may be a solar, wind or battery farm
    Ownership does not have to be inclusive of everyone, a community could have a community-owned asset where only those who live there are eligible to contribute.
    By owning POWR, the Power Ledger Ecosystem token, holders can also access a range of Power Ledger Applications, such as peer-to-peer energy trading in markets Power Ledger is operating in.
    The future energy system will be low-cost, resilient and owned by the people of the world.
    Initial projects will be announced here first when they are open for contributions


POWR is a very good idea, but why to buy POWR-tokens? I cant see any reason why value of the POWR-tokens should grow in the future? Why not just wait if they can build platform and then buy them if needed?
