We cover: why Cardano (sustainability, security, decentralization), what on-chain access actually looks like (claimable pools, 10-year participation), and the nuts & bolts of real projects (e.g., a 51 MW Netherlands solar park with 20 MW battery storage powering ~35,000 homes). Sandro explains the surge of RWA interest, grid/storage realities, subsidies vs. open market power sales, and KW₳RXS Project Catalyst journey. We also talk expansion (NL, Austria, Italy, Germany), regulation (MiCA & Dubai VARA), and the roadmap: exhibitions, partnerships, and the goal to fund first parks directly on-chain. Timestamps [00:00] Origin story: solar EPC roots → NFTs as access keys [00:02] Problem: Renewable projects require high buy-ins; KW₳RXS lowers the barrier [00:03] Why Cardano: mission fit, security (no hacks), governance, PoS sustainability [00:05] Reality of renewables: utility-scale builds, storage changes the game [00:06] Case study: 51 MW NL solar + 20 MW battery; ~900M kWh over 20 yrs [00:08] Peak demand patterns; storage & dam “battery” concepts [00:10] Investor access: NFT = membership pass; claimable ADA pool over 10 yrs [00:12] Transparency: on-chain claims, pool visibility, traceability [00:13] Customers: grid entities/governments, NFT community, broader RWA crowd [00:15] Subsidies vs. free-market power sales; cross-border electricity flows [00:16] How big can it get?
