Description
ArbiGrid is a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) energy marketplace built on the Arbitrum blockchain, designed to revolutionize how renewable energy is traded. The platform empowers individuals, businesses, and communities to sell surplus renewable energy and buy energy directly from peers without intermediaries, ensuring transparency, trust, and cost efficiency.
Through a clean, intuitive web app, users can connect their wallets, list available energy in kilowatt-hours with custom pricing, purchase energy in real time, and track all transactions seamlessly. Smart contracts handle the creation of energy listings, purchases, and fund withdrawals, while real-time updates keep dashboards fully synchronized.
The backend integrates Next.js, Node.js, and ethers.js, with MongoDB/Firebase for storing listings and transaction histories. Features such as wallet top-ups, transaction history, and responsive UI ensure a smooth user experience across devices.
By leveraging blockchain, ArbiGrid creates a transparent, decentralized energy economy where renewable energy becomes more accessible, traceable, and user-driven.
Progress During Hackathon
During the hackathon, we successfully built the core framework of ArbiGrid, integrating wallet connectivity on Arbitrum, smart contract functions for listing and purchasing energy, and a responsive dashboard to display real-time balances and transactions. We also implemented modules for selling and buying energy, along with transaction history tracking and wallet top-up functionality. On the backend, we connected APIs with ethers.js for blockchain interactions and set up MongoDB for storing listings and user data. Overall, we progressed from concept to a working prototype that demonstrates decentralized P2P energy trading.
Tech Stack
Fundraising Status
Currently, ArbiGrid is in its prototype stage and has not initiated formal fundraising. The focus has been on developing and showcasing the core platform during the hackathon. However, the project is actively preparing to seek funding opportunities through grants, accelerator programs, and potential investors in the blockchain and renewable energy space. The aim is to secure resources that will help scale the platform, audit the smart contracts, and onboard early adopters to build a decentralized and sustainable energy trading ecosystem.
