POWR Escrow Report 1

This is the first POWR Project Escrow Report. We intend to release a POWR Project Escrow Report periodically, detailing the total amount of POWR being held in escrow for active projects.

Dear POWR token holders and larger community,

This is the first POWR Project Escrow Report. We intend to release a POWR Project Escrow Report periodically, detailing the total amount of POWR being held in escrow for active projects.

You can read more about how our escrow process works for active projects here.

Escrow report: 2018 - January 2019

As of January 2019, the cumulative number of POWR tokens in escrow for active projects stands at 533,066. This aggregated approach ensures the commercially sensitive information of our partners is protected.

Out of the 533,066 POWR escrowed:

  • 393,803 was funded by the Project Partners and Application Hosts and purchased directly from the market, reducing the circulating supply.
  • 139,263 was topped up by Powerledger from the Growth Pool.

Powerledger has transferred the total number of POWR tokens being held for active projects to:

The smart contract that contains escrowed POWR also contains a hash of a table, which lists all current Application Hosts and the amount of POWR escrowed for each, based on their current trading volume. This hash is a way to maintain an auditable record of the POWR escrowed per project while obscuring sensitive commercial information.

This smart contract represents an intermediary step towards our vision for how the escrow process will eventually work. Ultimately, we want Sparkz to be minted automatically upon the escrow of POWR. However, currently, the Application Hosts are not yet ready to manage blockchain interactions as such Powerledger is facilitating this process.

Many of our projects are currently small scale trials, with huge potential. The amount of POWR escrowed for each project is a reflection of that. As the projects grow in size, so too will the number of tokens required to be in escrow.

We have released this report so the community is able to track the trajectory of tokens in escrow in relation to the growing number of projects and the growing number of POWR tokens in escrow quarter by quarter.

Please note: There are projects that have been announced which are not yet included in the total calculation. These projects will be included in a later report.
