## What POWR-USD Is (Quick Context)

POWR is the native token of **Powerledger**, a blockchain platform for tracking and trading renewable energy and environmental commodities. It launched September 8, 2017, and was founded in 2016 by Jemma Green, Dave Martin, John Bulich, and Jenni Conroy [[2]](https://www.dailypolitical.com/2026/09/13/powerledger-powr-24-hour-volume-tops-86-55-million.html)[[5]](https://www.tickerreport.com/banking-finance/13587360/powerledger-trading-23-9-higher-over-last-7-days-powr.html)[[10]](https://www.thestockobserver.com/2026/09/09/powerledger-hits-self-reported-market-capitalization-of-24-65-million-powr.html). Powerledger uses a **two-layer / dual-token architecture**: a blockchain layer records and settles energy transactions, while the platform's products sit across three pillars (energy trading/traceability, flexibility trading, and environmental commodities) [[4]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/power-ledger/what-is/)[[6]](https://www.bitget.com/price/powerledger)[[15]](https://www.coinbase.com/price/power-ledger).
