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. 🧵

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.

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.

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. 🔗 sh1.sendinblue.com/3gkhoypls… 🔗 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

We love Mondays! Harvesting the fruits of long build nights on weekends... 🚀
