What is Solarcoin (SLR)?
Solarcoin is a Scrypt based alternative digital currency and its innovation comes from the secondary proof of work reward: the Solar Proof of Work. Green solar energy producers are entitled to receive one SLR for every MWh electricity generated. In order to claim a Solar Proof of Work reward, solar plant owners must submit 3rd party verified energy generation certificates such as a Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) or equivalent country specific documentation. All Solar Proof Of Work rewards will be stored as transactions in the blockchain.
How does Solarcoin work?
The supply of SLR comprises of the following: - The Mining Pool: 105 million Solarcoins (0.1%) to be publicly mined over the next 40 years. All publicly mined Solarcoins represent historically generated and unclaimed solar electricity. - The Generator Pool: 97.5 billion SolarCoins (99.4%) are currently stored in the OCA non-circulating generation pool account. These will be exchanged for Solar Proof of Work claims of solar electricity generation submitted over the next 40 years at the rate of 1 SLR per MWh of solar energy.
What is Solarcoin used for?
- The Genesis Pool: 500 million Solarcoins (0.5%) are stored in the genesis pool account for environmental charities, early volunteers, advisers, builders and maintainers of SolarCoin infrastructure. Genesis pool circulation is capped so that it will never represent more than 5% of total Solarcoin in circulation.
Where can you buy Solarcoin?

What is the daily trading volume of Solarcoin (SLR)?
The reported 24-hour trading volume of Solarcoin is $0.70. Volume is a live reading of how much SLR changed hands across all tracked exchanges in the past day and tends to rise during periods of price discovery and fall during consolidation.
For traders, the ratio between volume and market cap is often more informative than either number on its own: a high vol-to-mcap ratio indicates liquid, actively traded supply, while a low ratio suggests that most holders are sitting on the asset.
What is the highest and lowest price for Solarcoin (SLR)?
Solarcoin reached an all-time high of $2.88 on May 4, 2018, and an all-time low of $0.000001280 on October 2, 2020. It is currently trading -98.23% from its peak and +3980084.43% from its bottom.
The distance from ATH is a useful gauge of recovery potential during a bear market and of stretched positioning during a bull market. Combined with the all-time-low figure it provides a quick statistical frame for thinking about where SLR sits in its long-run price range.
What is the market cap of Solarcoin (SLR)?
Solarcoin's market capitalization is currently $3.30M, and it is ranked #1971 by market cap on Cryptopricing. Market cap is calculated as the current price multiplied by the circulating supply (64.81 million SLR are actively circulating today).
Market cap is a common but imperfect measure. It reflects the theoretical value of every circulating token at the current market price, but it doesn't capture how thin the top of the order book might be - an important caveat for tokens with low floats or illiquid cap tables.
What is the fully diluted valuation of Solarcoin (SLR)?
The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of Solarcoin is $5.00B. FDV is a projection of what the market cap would be if every token that will ever exist - including those that have not yet been unlocked, mined or issued - were in circulation at the current price.
FDV is a useful second reading alongside market cap. A large gap between mcap and FDV signals that future token emissions could dilute current holders, while a small gap indicates that supply is already mostly out.
How does the price performance of Solarcoin compare against its peers?
Over the past 24 hours, Solarcoin has moved -1.40%. Over the past seven days, the change is -13.11%. Comparing these figures to the global crypto market cap change (shown in the ticker at the top of this page) tells you whether SLR is leading, lagging or tracking the broader market.

How to store Solarcoin?
Like any crypto asset, the right way to store SLR depends on how often you plan to use it. Long-term holders typically self-custody using a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor, which keeps private keys offline and immune to most remote attacks.
For active traders, a reputable custodial exchange wallet can be appropriate, especially one with clear proof-of-reserves attestations. Whatever approach you choose, the most important rule is to keep your recovery phrase offline, never share it, and never enter it into a web form or attached to a DM - no legitimate support agent will ever ask for it.
