# Starpower > A Decentralized Energy Network Starpower connects energy devices to a decentralized network, enabling users to manage and share energy resources through blockchain and AI technologies. Starpower creates a decentralized energy ecosystem by linking distributed energy devices to a virtual power plant (VPP). Through blockchain and AI, it allows users to manage, monitor, and share their energy resources while earning rewards for contributions. Starpower's key offerings include energy storage integration and energy usage monitoring, aimed at promoting efficient and sustainable energy management for individuals and communities. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/Starpower ## Products - [Starplug](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Starpower): Smart plug device that monitors power consumption and mines $STAR tokens while providing energy management capabilities. (Node Hardware, Live) - [Starbattery](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Starpower): Starbattery is a home energy storage battery that stores excess electricity for later use. It connects to the Starpower network to participate in decentralized energy services and optimize energy usage based on grid conditions. (DePin, In Development) - [Starpower](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Starpower): Starpower is a decentralized energy platform that connects and coordinates distributed energy resources. It uses blockchain technology to optimize energy consumption, facilitate virtual power plants, and reward users for contributing energy data and resources. (DePin, Open Beta, Main Product) - [Starcharger](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Starpower): Starcharger is a smart EV charging unit that manages charging cycles based on grid demand and electricity prices. It connects to the Starpower network to contribute to grid stability and energy optimization. (DePin, In Development) ## Assets - [STAR Token (STAR)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Starpower): STAR is the utility token of Starpower, a decentralized energy network on Solana. It is used to reward users for connecting energy devices and sharing electricity data, with additional rewards for optimizing energy usage and participating in demand response programs. STAR serves as the economic incentive layer that ties device participation to network value, allowing holders to earn by contributing real-world energy resources to the platform.
