Combinder

For the impatient: New quest launch this Thursday! For everyone else: Here’s our Roadmap 2026. It’s simple, If we don’t reach 1,000 devices in one region, $VGRD stays a theory. So we’re turning this into a race. 🧵

@MightyBuddha01 Thanks!

@combinderio Thanks for the update! Just a heads-up: While viewing this post on X desktop, $BIND get's tied to BINDER - a token on Solana. Could be misleading for some folks.

Short update for you legends. We have been quiet here over the past weeks because the team has been deep in build mode. The first phase of Combinder showed us what works: prosumer quests, real-time energy data, $BIND rewards, and a community that actually cares about building citizen-owned energy infrastructure. It also showed us what needs to improve. Early growth is powerful, but it only matters if it turns into real network value. That is the focus of the next phase. We are keeping the elements the community loves while building the components that can create measurable value for a clearly defined user group and open the path toward recurring revenues for the network. The Signal Surfer quest is already a first step in this direction. More updates on the planned release soon.

New around here? Combinder is a user-owned energy network. The simple idea: Your electrical devices should not just consume energy. They should become part of the energy system. By connecting compatible devices, you can share real-time energy data, earn $BIND rewards, and help build citizen-owned energy infrastructure. One device at a time.

@MariusBC78 Sharp eyes! 🫰

@combinderio That's great. More and more details and information are appearing on the dashboard. The two rows with the green, red, and orange dots in the upper field.

Final touches to the upgraded device screen. Signal Surfer getting closer. 🤙 Who can spot the changes?

Quality of life update for our power users with more than 10 devices. You can now see the @shelly_IoT Device ID of each device in the Combinder App. That should make it much easier for you guys to see the forest for the trees, hahaa. Keep on connecting and sharing your energy! ⚡️🫶🚀

We talk far too little about how amazing our world will be when every country, every city, and every citizen reaches energy independence. And the best part: this is by no means a utopia, not science fiction, not some psychedelic fantasy. It is existing technology, existing processes, and momentum that keeps accelerating because the economic incentives are real. An electrified future powered by renewables is inevitable. The only open question is whether we use our resources to build barriers against that future, or bridges into it.

We couldn’t agree more, Jigar!

Bad news: We didn’t make it into stage 3 of the @avax Build Games. Best of luck to the remaining teams! Good news: We’re not building for challenges. We’re building for the virtual grid. Every line of code flows into the Signal Surfer quest. First glimpses tomorrow. ⚡️🚀

Combinder just made it into the @empowersource newsletter - one of the most active plug-in solar communities in DACH. Over 5 million plug-in solar devices in Germany alone. Mostly invisible to the grid. That's the gap we're closing. If you have a 'Balkonkraftwerk' connect it. Help us build the first Flex Pool. 🔗 #Heading3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sh1.sendinblue.com/3gkhoyplshxpfe… 🔗 beta.combinder.io

When a crypto VC publishes a 50-page deep dive on electricity flexibility, it tells you something about where the market is heading. @KaiSiefert was happy to share what we've learned building Combinder. Core finding: distributed flexibility can cut grid costs by 30–40% vs. new infrastructure. BTW, not theory but what we actually see in countries like Austria.

New quests are live in the @combinderio App. just completed the “Pin Pioneer” quest - quick step to help grow the first region toward 1,000 connected devices interesting to see how this will support regional flexibility pools and the Virtual Grid vision

@mvpjugg Not at the moment. Which brand are those?

@combinderio I was gifted some smart plugs but they aren’t Shelly, can I still connect to combinder?

🥇 🇩🇪 - 68 🥈 🇳🇱 - 60 🥉 🇦🇹 - 40 On the Road To $VGRD the map is starting to cluster. Which country breaks 100 devices first? Have you secured your 📍 Pin Pioneer badge yet?

@MightyBuddha01 Re 2: So far 438 devices in profiles that share location.

Seems like I am holding 25% of our Dutch supply! 😅 1. You ought to re-feed this image into AI and have it clear up the numbering (Romania & Sweden showing up twice), while Sweden's second time could have been Spain? 2. Total device count on portal is 1734, while total tally here is 327. Is 80% of the total device number truly that scattered around the globe, or is there some issue with these numbers?

Here a corrected chart. Thanks @MightyBuddha01 for the sharp eyes.

@AlexFinn Optimize inference loads to dynamic power prices and energy will be nearly free too. Once you have 10+ studios you could even think about helping to stabilize the grid, hahaa.

If you have your OpenClaw working 24/7 using frontier models like Opus, you're easily burning $300 a day. That's $100,000 a year. I have 3 Mac Studios and a DGX Spark running 4 high end local models (Nemotron 3, Qwen 3.5, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax2.5). They're chugging 24/7/365. I spent a third of that yearly cost to buy these computers I'll be able to use them for years for free On top of that they're completely private, secure, and personalized. Not a single prompt goes to a cloud server that can be read by an employee or used to train another model I hope this makes it painfully obvious why local is the future for AI agents. And why America needs to enter the local AI race.

We built this for @avax #BuildGames - jury verdict on March 16. With SPARC Reactor - Every game becomes a Green Game. GG

But SPARC Reactor is more than a reward system for games. It's a programmable energy primitive for all Web3 builders. Games are the first use case. The same system could coordinate energy demand across gaming PCs, AI training workloads, and decentralized compute.

GG! ⚡️ Gaming PCs consume loads of power. Today that energy is completely disconnected from the grid and from the games being played on it. In our MVP walkthrough we show you and the Build Games jury how SPARC Reactor turns real-world energy consumption into on-chain game rewards on @avax. Full walkthrough 👇 youtu.be/qQ1NXAWDQfA
