VLUX is launching an Initial Token Offering (ITO) in order to create VLUX tokens that will enable energy to be traded on the renewable energy trading platform that it has developed. By combining deep learning AI technology with blockchain, VLUX’s peer-to-peer (p2p) energy trading platform aims to improve access to affordable, low carbon energy.

Description
What is VLUX?
Peer-to-peer energy and data trading protocol.
Company overview
VLUX combines deep learning Awith blockchain, to improve access to affordable, low carbon energy by enabling peers to trade.
Using VLUX’s existing energy monitor (“Verv”), VLUX obtains a comprehensive and real-time overview of the electricity consumption of a home.
Combining this with blockchain technology, VLUX aims to provide a secure and transparent ledger through which energy (and consumer data in a GDPR compliant fashion) can be traded on a p2p basis.
Green Running, the parent company of VLUX, was founded in 2009 with the initial focus on reducing energy consumption within the commercial market.
VLUX believes their blockchain-based trading platform represents a powerful solution to enable decentralized control and production of energy at the grid edge.
