Ruth comes to this project, which is part of CoinDesk’s 2022 Web3athon, with a background in solar energy and renewables, having built large-scale solar power plants for the last decade. In 2021, his research led him to think about solar energy applications in blockchain technology.“There was enough of a toolbox of tools [in blockchain] to wonder what we can build with this stuff instead of more crap tokens,” he said. “If that’s all we’re going to do with it, then what’s the point?” If the invention of blockchain technology did not have real world applications other than “numbers go up,” Ruth said he would consider it a failure.
