Today, we are introducing DayFi, a protocol to build capital markets for decentralized energy. By connecting DeFi capital directly to distributed solar and battery systems, DayFi creates a new system for energy infrastructure to scale through global liquidity, scaling energy production faster and cheaper than centralized models.
This begins with capital formation.
While the Industrial Revolution was powered by coal and fuel oil, the Intelligence Revolution will be powered by electricity. Electricity demand is skyrocketing from the growth of AI and electrification of major industries, with peak demand predicted to double over the next decade. Meanwhile, electricity rates are increasing much faster than inflation, while blackouts are twice as frequent as a decade ago. The traditional, centralized electricity model is at its limits.
Decentralized energy - deploying generation and storage on the edges of power grids, like in homes and businesses - is the cheapest and fastest way to scale new energy capacity today. These distributed energy resources provide value directly to their hosts in the form of cheaper and more reliable energy, but can also provide value to the broader power grid if aggregated together through software as a unified resource.
On December 16th at 8:00 am ET (1:00 pm UTC), DayFi will open its pre-deposit vault. This is the first step in connecting real energy assets into DeFi rails, allowing users to secure early rewards before the protocol fully activates. The vault will be initially capped at $50 million.
This also marks the beginning of the GRID Games, DayFi’s campaign to scale ecosystem liquidity to support capital markets for decentralized energy.
The pre-deposit vault will be curated by K3 Capital, a leading DeFi curator, and built on Upshift Finance’s vault infrastructure. The vault will deploy capital to Plasma, a leading ecosystem for stablecoin DeFi. Participants in the vault will earn yield from K3 Capital’s DeFi strategies. The vault will also earn 1,000,000 WXPL incentives, as well as boosted GRID Games points.
Users can deposit either USDS from Sky, the leading decentralized stablecoin ecosystem, or USDT.
The pre-deposit vault will be converted to GRID/sGRID at the formal launch of the protocol beta. The vault will convert into the ecosystem vault, where it will provide liquidity throughout the DayFi ecosystem.
The Vault will open simultaneously for all participants. Deposits are accepted on a First In basis. Deposits will be locked for 2 months. The reference asset for the vault will be sGRID. All withdrawals from the ecosystem vault will occur in sGRID.
How it Works
Deposit USDS or USDT when the vault opens.
K3 Capital will bridge deposits to @Plasma, deploying into Plasma’s DeFi markets.
Upon protocol launch, you’ll receive ecosGRID, a share in the ecosystem vault.
Users will receive sGRID when withdrawing from the vault.
DayFi is built for those who believe energy should be open, programmable, and supported by its users. DayFi is creating a capital market where decentralized energy can be tokenized and traded. This allows DeFi users to gain access to revenue backed by measurable, verifiable energy production for the first time.
The pre-deposit vault is the starting point.
Secure your spot on December 16 at 8:00AM ET (1:00PM UTC).
As the Intelligence Revolution drives power demand to record highs, centralized grids can no longer keep pace. DayFi builds capital markets to scale decentralized energy, turning distributed solar and storage into programmable, yield-bearing assets.

Predeposit Vaults go live December 16 at 8:00am ET (1:00pm UTC). DayFi is here. Let the GRID Games begin. Deposit USDS or USDT into a K3-curated vault on Upshift, deployed to Plasma, with a 50M cap and 2 month lock. Real yield from real energy, finally onchain. This is what it looks like when electrons meet DeFi. https://blog.dayfi.com/introducing-dayfi
