We recently unveiled the seven projects selected for the RWAccelerator, our start-up program dedicated to fostering the development, innovation, and adoption of real-world assets. Supported by Google Cloud, the intention of the initiative is simple. It’s to empower builders and startups with investment capital, mentors, dedicated AI support and more, in what is proving to be a timely moment for the space. 

This week, we’re taking a deeper dive into the work of one of the cohort members, Juic3 -  a blockchain-based distributed energy storage network that connects batteries of all scales across Asia. The goal of Juic3 is seemingly simple - it’s to reshape how energy markets work by unlocking stable, verifiable, and transparent onchain yield from real energy systems.

It is a goal governed by the belief that the bloodstream of modern civilization is the electricity grid - but it’s a bloodstream that is under increasing stress. For while AI and data centers are exponentially increasing demand for ultra-stable electricity, the intermittent nature of renewables, namely solar and wind, is making the grid more volatile. What’s more, when the sun sets or wind drops, supply disappears instantly. It is an energy instability that threatens both economic productivity and limits the scaling of sustainable energy systems. 

Fortunately, energy storage—specifically battery energy storage systems (BESS)—offers the most economically viable solution. These batteries store surplus energy during periods of low demand and discharge it during those of high demand, thereby acting as a stabilizing buffer.

This is where Juic3 and their vision enters. 

Juic3 Labs plans to address the growing instability of power grids across Asia caused by the rapid adoption of AI and renewable energy. By aggregating idle batteries from homes and enterprises into a decentralized energy network, Juic3 Labs provides critical grid stabilization services. Participants can earn rewards in $DRIP tokens for contributing energy support during peak demand periods. In addition to earning rewards, users will also be able to purchase or upgrade physical and virtual energy storage devices using $DRIP. This model not only solves a pressing energy crisis but also allows retail participation to invest in more battery RWAs— reinforcing grid stability in a compounding loop. 

Each participating energy asset is recorded via smart chain logic, with their performance, contributions, and rewards transparently tracked and settled onchain. Thereby enabling faster, more inclusive, and fairer distribution of energy value, transforming stored power into a verifiable onchain asset. It’s a streamline of reward distribution but also frictionless capital flow - bridging infrastructure with decentralized finance. 

Launching in Q4 2025, Juic3 will meet the needs of various stakeholders: 

• For enterprises already operating energy storage, Juic3 connects their systems to national grid programs, thereby allowing stable income to be earned by providing stable grid services. 

• Those operating without energy or infrastructure can have batteries deployed at their facility using Juice3 pool - a Zero Capex model whereby energy savings and revenue can be earned without upfront costs. 

• For Web3 investors, Juic3 takes energy investing mainstream. Allowing stable returns, backed by real world battery performance and grid rewards to be earned. 

As well as solve for multiple market gaps: 

• For the first time, retail investors can access low-risk, high-return energy assets, typically reserved for institutions and wealthy individuals. 

• Via crowdsourcing the capital required for battery deployment, Juic3 enables infrastructure growth without capital expenditure burdens on enterprises. 

Key achievements for the Juic3 team to date:

• Working with public-listed semiconductor and manufacturing enterprises to install BESS systems integrated with national grid programs. 

• Established strategic partnerships with multiple energy companies and are already providing Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) to local industrial clients.

We’re excited to support Juic3 in realising their vision for an ecosystem where energy behaves like a living system with autonomous regulation capabilities, as well as help their team scale operations. As an early-stage team, Juic3 embodies the kind of bold innovation and forward-thinking approach that aligns perfectly with our mission. The due diligence process and tailored support provided through the RWAccelerator have given us strong confidence in their potential to make a meaningful impact on the future of energy systems.
