Blockchain

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a technology that functions as a digital ledger that stores information in blocks organized in chronological order. These blocks are linked together and protected against tampering, ensuring security and transparency in transactions.

What makes blockchain unique is that it is a distributed and non-centralized technology. This means it does not rely on a single server or central authority to operate. Instead, the information is stored and validated simultaneously across thousands of computers around the world. This reduces the risk of manipulation, increases system resilience, and fosters trust between parties—even if they don’t know each other.

What is a token?

A token is a digital representation of an asset that is recorded on a blockchain. It can represent almost anything: money, ownership, rights, services, or tangible and intangible goods. Since it exists on a blockchain, a token is unique, traceable, and secure, enabling it to be transferred or exchanged reliably without intermediaries.

Tokenization is the process of creating a token that represents a real-world asset, such as a property, a contract, or a solar energy project ☀️. This token captures the value and characteristics of the asset it represents, and its registration on the blockchain ensures that all transactions related to the token are transparent, immutable, and verifiable. This facilitates the fractionalization of assets (for example, dividing a property into multiple parts represented by tokens), opening up opportunities to democratize access to investments and global markets.

What is a pWatt?

The pWatt is a token that represents fractional ownership of a clean energy project. Each project has its own pWatt, which means that pWatts from different projects are not interchangeable. By acquiring pWatts, you gain the right to receive a share of the net income generated by the associated project, proportional to the number of pWatts you hold.

Once the project enters the energy generation phase, you can sell your pWatts through our app. This provides you with great flexibility, since you don’t need to hold your stake for the 20 or 30 years that the project may last.

What is a uWatt?

The uWatt is a token backed by Suno’s Reserve, a diversified portfolio of clean energy generation projects. By acquiring a uWatt, you begin receiving income from the energy generation of all the projects within this Reserve.

This token offers a flexible way to participate in Suno, as you can sell it at any time. It also minimizes investment risk thanks to its backing by a diversified Reserve and maintains its value over time. This is possible because a small portion of the income generated by the Reserve is used to compensate for the depreciation of the assets it contains.

Which blockchain is Suno built on?

The Suno Protocol, which manages the system behind our tokens, operates on the Polygon network. Both the pWatt and the uWatt are natively created on this network.

Additionally, we have bridges that allow uWatts to be transferred to the Celo network, offering greater interoperability and flexibility for our users.
