Revolutionary DePIN Partnership
Maryland Blockchain Association & DeCharge
The Maryland Blockchain Association is proud to announce a partnership with DeCharge, an international DePin company in the environmental community.
DeCharge is an innovative blockchain-powered platform revolutionizing the electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape by enabling a decentralized, community-driven network of charging stations. Founded in 2024 and built on the Solana blockchain, DeCharge empowers individuals and businesses to contribute to expanding EV infrastructure by installing IoT-enabled charging devices like their flagship "DeCharge Beast" 7kW charger.
Through this community-powered model—often described as the "Airbnb of EV charging"—owners can earn passive income and rewards by hosting charging stations in high-demand locations such as homes, stores, and parking lots. The platform handles all operational aspects, including authentication and payment processing, creating a seamless and transparent experience for EV users and station operators alike.
Strategic Collaboration for Maryland's Future
The Maryland Blockchain Association has proudly partnered with DeCharge to support the growth of decentralized EV infrastructure within the state and beyond. This collaboration aims to leverage blockchain technology to enhance accessibility, transparency, and community participation in EV charging solutions.
Together, they focus on deploying DeCharge's VoltBox chargers strategically across Maryland's highways, urban centers, and logistics hubs to address range anxiety and charging scarcity. The partnership also fosters local micro-economies by incentivizing residents and businesses to participate in the EV revolution, helping Maryland become a forward-thinking hub for both blockchain innovation and sustainable transportation.
With DeCharge's projected network expansion to over 16,000 locations and one million EV riders worldwide within the next 18 months, the Maryland Blockchain Association's involvement signals strong regional support for cutting-edge decentralized infrastructure projects. By combining DeCharge's pioneering technology with Maryland's thriving blockchain community, this partnership exemplifies how decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) can accelerate the transition to clean energy and drive economic empowerment through shared ownership and blockchain-enabled transparency.
