 <p>An Ethereum (ETH)-based altcoin that’s flying under the radar is moving against the largely bearish crypto price action this week after surging over 110% in the past seven days.</p> 
 <p>Power Ledger (POWR) is a blockchain that’s designed for decentralized and distributed energy markets.</p> 
 <div class="code-block code-block-055f5289fd7e731bb72be7c5a19d18ed code-block-1">    
 </div> 
 <p>The project’s native token, POWR, is trading at nearly $0.737 at time of writing, a massive rise from its weekly low of $0.35. The 171st-ranked crypto asset by market cap is also up nearly 25% in the past 24 hours alone.</p> 
 <p>According to Powerledger’s official&nbsp;website, the crypto project aims to aid the decentralization of the energy grid, help transition toward renewable energy and assist consumers in keeping track of their power usage.</p> 
 <p>POWR’s gains materialized amid this week’s unveiling of xGrid 2.0, the latest version of Powerledger’s blockchain-enabled energy trading platform.</p> 
 <p>The project says the new trading platform has a “modern and minimalistic” user interface (UI) and increased flexibility with demand and percentage-based secondary market power purchase agreements (PPA).</p> 
 <p>PPAs are typically used for renewable energy sources and consist of third-party developers installing and operating energy systems on their customers’ properties, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The customer can receive low-cost energy while the developer gets to sell excess electricity from the system.</p> 
 <p>Despite POWR’s gains this week, the token remains more than 61% down from its all-time high of $1.89, which it hit all the way back in January 2018, according to CoinGecko.</p>
