In a new development that will likely improve security while creating transparency, Starpower has agreed to integrate IoTeX’s ioID system into its service. This opens up a new level of improvement in how Starpower manages authentications of on-chain and off-chain identities in the decentralized energy systems, giving users within the space greater reliability.
Starpower, a massive decentralized energy network, integrates IoTeX’s ioID for improved DePIN authentication.
ioID seamlessly connects on-chain + off-chain identities, increasing transparency, verifiability and trust for @starpowerworld’s 14,000+ devices and 5 million daily transactions. https://t.co/lBt7lg2eSV

The role of ioID in identity management
The ioID is a next-generation identity solution that enables globally accepted blockchain wallet addresses for on-chain authentication and decentralized credentials for off-chain identity management. The ioID system continues to harmonize these two worlds, protecting both the cyber world and decentralized communications.
For Starpower, the adoption of ioID means better coordination of digital relationships in the various physical infrastructure applications, including the energy sector. Security and easy management of identity verification across domains benefit the platform and increase its reliability.
What is IoTeX?
IoTeX is an integrated solution that can develop decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) to connect real-world data to blockchain systems. As a middleware solution, IOTX brings secure off-chain data authentication to the new generation of dApps with W3bstream. With more than 60 people on the team, IoTeX is constantly developing and experimenting with the real-life capabilities of decentralized technology to create many use cases in different areas.
Increasing confidence in energy transactions
As one of the most prominent decentralized energy infrastructure (DePIN) market players, Starpower oversees the operation of more than 14,000 active devices and 5 million transactions/day. Such a scale of operations requires effective methods to check data for accuracy and consistency.
With ioID brought into the business, Starpower can guarantee off-chain data, which is critical in validating that decentralized energy systems are more secure and transparent. This addition increases the security and credibility of the agreed transactions, making it easy for participants to participate in the P2P energy market.
The integration of ioID also brings a new layer of trust to Starpower’s ecosystem, strengthening the company’s mission of achieving seamless, decentralized energy transactions with data reliability for users.
A look at future developments
Integrating ioID into Starpower is just the starting point. The company is keen to conduct more research into how it can leverage IoTeX’s identity and authentication technologies in the future. To ensure that the application is more usable and increases security against hacking attempts, Starpower must continue to work towards leadership in the field of decentralized energy.
There are possible future developments that extend current work: improving off-chain data verification mechanisms and other use cases for decentralized identity solutions to improve a transparent marketplace of energy transactions.
