Heartbreaking story of Nigerians that cross the border into Benin Republic to charge their phones. Stories like this is why we are building the M3tering Protocol.🥺
Last year @decentralizedceo lead us in an experiment to retrofit shipping containers with solar panels and a @dappnode, to provide internet and power in very remote community that have no such infrastructure.
"Self sustaining units of electrification, with free internet, financed via a validating node."
The pilot was successful. The shipping container made a difference. Now, all we need to is refine and repeat.
We now know how to help these people. We owe it to them to keep deploying.
One community at a time, we can bring these people onchain and end the worst of their energy poverty.
