Rare Evo 2025:- The recently concluded Rare Evo multi-day blockchain/Web3 conference in Las Vegas saw many new developers and protocol teams pitching new innovative ideas and applications of blockchain technology.
Among these, a project that caught the eyes has been Sandro Gonzalez-led KWARXS project aiming to make solar energy accessible and profitable. Sandro has built 5.9 GW of solar infrastructure over 18 years and is now tokenizing it on Cardano as NFTs with real yield. They recently secured $280K funding from Project Catalyst and have VARA licensing underway.

What exactly is KWARXS trying to do
At Rare Evo 2025, KWARXS stood out by promising to channel 5.5 gigawatts of global solar energy capacity into a tokenized investment model on the Cardano blockchain.
It isn’t trying to do greenwashing but presents a structured, on-chain financial product that merges real-world yield with decentralized finance.
KWARXS aims to do this by allowing for fractional ownership of solar farms through mintable NFTs. These NFTs represent a share of real solar infrastructure and not speculative tokens. Each NFT entitles its holder to a share of annual profits from solar power plants, distributed in ADA
According to the project, these real solar assets are operated by a team with 5.5 GW of solar projects across diverse formats – roof, floating, landfill, carports – in over a dozen countries.
This approach will allow small-scale investors to co-own solar assets without high capital barriers and help in opening a new investment class.
According to their Catalyst proposal, the platform’s success metrics are:
-
Installed capacity (MW) via Cardano-backed investments,
-
Count of individual investors, especially small-scale participants, democratizing access to renewable energy.
The yield potential of these tokens could also be tied to actual electricity sales and power purchase agreements (PPAs), generating stable returns.
Can its Renewable Energy Pitch Stand?
KWARXS’s pitch seems clear – buy into a slice of a working solar plant via a mintable Cardano NFT. The profits from the plant are converted to ADA and distributed through an on-chain profit-sharing validator that enforces fair claims.
Their roadmap also includes building a utility NFT marketplace, where only whitelisted, utility-backed NFTs can be traded. This comes as the past month saw a striking 94% surge in market capitalization to $6.6 billion. This has been driven by a $5M CryptoPunk sale and explosive growth in blue-chip collections like Pudgy Penguins.
As governments and corporates accelerate toward net-zero commitments, tokenized green energy assets offer both compliance and reputational advantages.
If KWARXS delivers on its promises, it could create a replicable framework for tokenizing renewable energy assets. This can also boost adoption by turning 5.9 GW of sunlight into investable, tradable, and fully transparent financial products.
