COSMOS Ecosystem

C4E is a sovereign application-specific Layer 1 blockchain building on Cosmos SDK, prioritizing flexibility and tailored solutions to meet the intricate demands of the energy sector.

We position ourselves within the extensive network of the Cosmos ecosystem, fostering interoperability with chains such as ATOM, OSMO, Axelar and many others, interconnected through IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol.

Incorporating the appchain approach within C4E reinforces our dedication to providing specialized solutions while ensuring high Service Level Agreements (SLAs) tailored for energy-specific applications.

Stakeholders

Each category of stakeholders plays a pivotal role in fostering the vitality, security, and expansion of the C4E network, contributing to a robust ecosystem where all participants are encouraged and rewarded for their involvement.

1. Design Perspective:

Developers: C4E's platform provides a foundational Layer 1 Blockchain, equipped with smart contract functionalities and interoperability through Cosmos IBC, creating an optimal environment for developing decentralized applications (dApps).

Entrepreneurs: The ecosystem offers a comprehensive suite of tools for data tracking, billing management, energy trading, and green energy certificate issuance, empowering entrepreneurs to explore various use cases through dApp builders and new projects within the ecosystem.

Individuals: Users have the opportunity to participate in activities such as EV charging, P2P Energy Trading, and community energy management, contributing to the network's growth and sustainability.

2. Network perspective:

Validators: Vital for the network's security and integrity, validators play a crucial role in transaction verification and block creation. Their involvement extends to governance, where their votes on key proposals shape the network's trajectory in alignment with its core principles and user expectations.

Stakers: By locking up C4E tokens, stakers enhance the blockchain's security and operational efficiency through the consensus mechanism, typically Proof of Stake. In return, they receive rewards in C4E tokens for their contribution to maintaining the network's stability.

Miners: Within the C4E ecosystem, miners contribute to network growth by integrating, maintaining, and expanding new devices within the DePIN infrastructure. They validate energy transactions or expand the coverage of the EV charging network, earning compensation in C4E tokens for their efforts.

Liquidity providers: Participants who provide liquidity to C4E token pools on decentralized exchanges ensure sufficient token availability for trading. In exchange, they receive trading fees, playing a vital role in facilitating smooth market operations and liquidity provision.
