According to Cosmo Jiang, a general partner at the venture capital firm Pantera, blockchain technology can create decentralized energy infrastructure by mobilizing human and idle resources, thereby helping to modernize the U.S. power grid.
"Since ancient times, all civilizations have been built on the foundation of incentivized coordination, and blockchain is just a new way to incentivize people in a decentralized manner, which was not possible before," Jiang said in an interview with Cointelegraph.
The venture capitalist explained that companies in the gig economy have already designed ways for people to monetize their free time and resources through freelance commitments outside of normal working hours. Jiang stated that blockchain can build a decentralized energy grid by coordinating unused infrastructure, labor, and resources:
Jiang concluded that this type of energy decentralization not only strengthens the power grid but also reduces regulatory barriers, which the Trump administration identified as one of the three pillars of its "American AI Action Plan," a strategy aimed at making the U.S. a global leader in artificial intelligence.
"The U.S. power grid is one of the largest and most complex machines on Earth. It also needs upgrades to support future data centers and other high-energy-consuming industries," a recent White House report stated.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly emphasized that the nation must maximize its energy resources to meet the demands of AI data centers, cryptocurrency mining, and other high-performance computing applications.
The president stated that this includes exploring nuclear power generation and protecting existing grid components from electromagnetic interference.
Establishing redundant energy systems to ensure maximum uptime and resilience of the power grid, while ensuring critical backups are always available, is also a policy goal of the president's energy infrastructure upgrade plan.
