What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
The awareness/control/settlement framing is coherent and the real-time on-chain settlement angle is differentiated, but evidence is limited to launch PRs and a thin beta on the OpenVPP layer with placeholder operational metrics.
Next
Require a named utility or aggregator pilot with disclosed enrolled MW and settled MWh on-chain before treating Grid Rails as a credible VPP settlement option.
