Following our recent meeting with NEO at the Conference Blockchain Smart Economy , Restart Energy’s own Andrei Avram (CTO) and Azam Shaghaghi (PR North America) are attending Consensus 2018 — a monumental event on the blockchain calendar — ensuring that our company will be properly represented among the heavyweights in the blockchain industry.

Consensus is the leading global convention for blockchain technologies, hosted since 2015 in the Big Apple, and has grown exponentially since its inception. This year it will be hosting over 8,500 attendees at the New York Hilton Midtown hotel — a number that has grown more than 21 times over the past 4 years.

This is indicative of the increased global interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies that have started maturing in terms of public awareness, and now garner the interest of the most recognizable names in media: Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Fortune, Business Insider, CNBC, Bloomberg, and Reuters.

As people from all over the world travel to New York for Consensus 2018, many will also be attending the first-ever Blockchain Week in NYC — a week-long event (May 11th — May 17th), that encompasses Consensus and hosts a great many important events on the blockchain calendar, including: the first NYC blockchain job fair, Fluidity Summit, Blockchain in Business, CDX Blockchain Brand Innovation Summit, Ethereal Summit, Blockchain Without Borders, CryptoASIA Summit, Building Blocks Hackathon, Blockchain Leadership Connect, Token Economic Forum, Crypto Influence Summit, New York Blockchain Alternative Capital Summit, NYC Blockchain Tech & Invest Summit, Blockchain & Law Symposium, NYC BlockAsia, and many more.

New York City itself has given Blockchain Week its blessing by partnering the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) with the event, in an effort to promote New York City as a nexus for blockchain technology and innovation.

Consensus 2018 will span 3 days, from May 14th to May 16th and will provide ample networking and visibility opportunities for RED, while also allowing us to keep abreast of the latest developments in the blockchain field.

About Restart Energy

Restart Energy Democracy (RED) is a blockchain-powered platform, backed by Restart Energy — a European energy provider with 20 million USD in revenues. The company was built with a vision to democratize the energy sector and quash the dominance of legacy monopolies in the energy world. The company’s credentials include a customer base of 27,000 household and 3,000 corporate clients, expanding at more than 2,000 clients per month (5,000 new customers in the first two months of 2018), and its impressive growth: 1700% from 2015 until today.

Restart Energy is developing the world’s first peer-to-peer, fully decentralized energy transfer platform allowing users to send and receive energy worldwide, based on its proprietary virtual balancing system, that uses A.I., Big Data, and IoT technologies. The RED ecosystem is comprised of the RED-Platform, RED-Franchise and RED-MWAT Tokens.

The RED-Franchise is the first power retail franchise to simplify and allow any company or entrepreneur to operate their own power utility enterprise, enabling them to start selling energy in more than 35 deregulated energy markets globally.

MWAT tokens are crypto-tokens that enable the buying and selling of up to 1 MWh of electricity per month on the RED-Platform Software and will facilitate the development of affordable clean energy, through free-market practices. Upon completion of registration on the platform, an initial loyalty bonus of 0.11 kWh is applied. Producers send out monthly loyalty bonuses through the RED Loyalty System, totaling 1–5% of traded on-grid energy in exchange for access to the RED Platform.

Importantly, it should be noted that potential franchise partners will need to own (this is not a form of payment to us) a certain number of MWAT tokens, in order to qualify for our various franchise tiers — the secret to our award-winning growth as a business!
