Today we are joined by Jason Badeaux, co-founder of React Networks, to learn how React aims to move electrons across time. React is building the digital infrastructure layer necessary to turn the grid edge into a resource for the energy system.

React aims to support the fight against climate change and unstable energy grids by creating economic incentives and easy processes for individuals to connect their home energy resources to the power grid and React network.

This conversation is part of our deeper dive into Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).
