Why Xcapit

Xcapit has already built digital public goods with UNICEF and with governments: an open wallet, a DAO for a child-protection digital public good, humanitarian-aid infrastructure and self-sovereign identity.

Impact case · EPEC and the Government of Córdoba

With EPEC we designed an energy traceability foundation that encourages citizen participation in distributed, community renewable generation. The first project was the Mundo Maipú solar park in Greater Córdoba: the first community solar park in Argentina to tokenize its generation.

Renewable energy tokenization

Three tokens: PUG (participation in each generation project), ERI (Injected Renewable Energy, issued according to the kWh actually generated and injected into the grid) and Sustainability (environmental attributes). Burning 1,000 sustainability tokens issues a renewable energy certificate (REC) for 1 MWh, traceable on blockchain, with no double counting. Participants sign in with Ciudadano Digital, the Government of Córdoba's digital identity.

From one park to a community network

Building on the Mundo Maipú pilot, the solution is expanding to three new community generation parks in the province of Córdoba. Xcapit is also developing, with IDB Lab, a platform for the traceability of renewable energy certificates at national scale (in development).

This experience underpins provenance and impact certification (04).

Social twin for public-service decisions

A social simulation that estimates how citizens would react to public-service decisions, such as tariffs, service interruptions or new products, before they are made. It uses explainable AI and public data with provenance, and states its uncertainty.

“It doesn't predict: it estimates with archetypes, explains why, and states what it doesn't know.”

What we offer

  • Support for Digital Public Good (DPG) certification
  • Design and development of DAOs and on-chain governance
  • Verifiable digital identity
  • Blockchain architecture and security (ISO/IEC 27001)
