Werenode Crowned as the Number One Web3.0 Company in France in December 2024

In a significant milestone for the blockchain and electric vehicle (EV) charging industries, Werenode has been officially recognized as the number one Web3.0 company in France as of December 2024. This prestigious ranking underscores the company’s pioneering efforts in integrating blockchain technology with sustainable mobility solutions, reinforcing its status as an industry leader in the evolving decentralized ecosystem.

Revolutionizing EV Charging with Web3.0

Werenode’s groundbreaking approach leverages blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi) principles to democratize and streamline electric vehicle charging. By utilizing token-based access and transparent smart contracts, Werenode has effectively disrupted traditional charging networks, fostering an open, user-driven ecosystem where private individuals and businesses can share charging infrastructure efficiently.

The company’s unique model enables EV station owners to tokenize their charging services, allowing for seamless peer-to-peer transactions. This innovation eliminates intermediaries, reduces costs, and enhances the accessibility of charging points, paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable future in electric mobility.

A Year of Monumental Achievements

2024 has been a defining year for Werenode, marked by major technological advancements, strategic partnerships, and recognition within the Web3.0 space. Some of the key highlights include:

  • Expansion of Werenode’s Charging Network: Werenode significantly increased its global footprint, bringing more charging stations onto its decentralized platform and expanding partnerships with major industry players.
  • Advancements in Smart Charging and Sustainability: The company integrated AI-driven smart charging mechanisms, optimizing energy consumption and enhancing grid stability.
  • Participation in High-Profile Web3.0 Initiatives: Werenode actively contributed to European blockchain research projects, further cementing its reputation as a thought leader in decentralized infrastructure.
  • Successful Fundraising and Community Growth: With increasing investor confidence and community engagement, Werenode secured substantial funding to accelerate its mission of decentralized energy sharing.

Why Werenode Stands Out in the Web3.0 Space

Unlike traditional charging networks, Werenode’s Web3.0-powered platform ensures full transparency, trust, and security through the use of smart contracts and decentralized identity solutions. This allows EV users to access stations without cumbersome registration processes or third-party interventions, significantly improving user experience and accessibility.

Additionally, Werenode’s integration with Decentralized Energy Communities (DECO) aligns with global sustainability goals by promoting energy sharing and optimizing renewable energy usage in EV charging.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Werenode

Following this remarkable recognition as the leading Web3.0 company in France, Werenode is poised to drive further innovation in the space. The company aims to:

  • Expand its decentralized charging network across new regions, enabling more users to benefit from tokenized access to EV stations.
  • Strengthen its role in blockchain governance and regulatory dialogues to promote the adoption of decentralized mobility solutions.
  • Continue refining its AI-driven smart charging technology to improve energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness for users.
  • Foster community-driven initiatives that empower individuals to actively participate in the future of sustainable mobility.

A Landmark Moment for Web3.0 and EV Mobility

Werenode’s distinction as the number one Web3.0 company in France is a testament to its relentless pursuit of innovation, sustainability, and decentralization. As the world increasingly shifts towards smart and eco-friendly solutions, Werenode’s blockchain-powered EV charging ecosystem serves as a beacon of progress in the Web3.0 revolution.

With its transformative impact on electric mobility and its steadfast commitment to an open and decentralized future, Werenode continues to lead the charge in Web3.0 innovation, setting new standards for the industry and inspiring the next generation of blockchain-driven enterprises.

Werenode : le booking des stations de recharges électriques

Werenode propose une solution numérique basée sur la technologie Web3.0 pour la recharge des véhicules électriques. Cette solution permet l'installation de bornes connectées à un coût optimisé tout en offrant des services à valeur ajoutée tels que la gestion de groupes d'utilisateurs, la traçabilité, la recharge intelligente (smartcharge), le paiement et le roaming. De plus, Werenode développe une solution décentralisée pour les communautés énergétiques, mettant en avant les synergies entre la production d'électricité individuelle et la gestion intelligente de la recharge des véhicules électriques.​

Équipe Fondatrice

L'entreprise a été fondée par six experts dans les domaines de la mobilité électrique, du Web3 et des solutions de paiement :​

  • Benoît Maïsseu (CEO) : Diplômé de CentraleSupélec en 1996, il a été directeur de la stratégie des véhicules électriques pour l'Alliance Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi.​
  • François Chiron (CTO) : Ancien élève de l'École Polytechnique (promotion 1992) et de CentraleSupélec (1996), il possède 25 ans d'expérience en informatique, avec une expertise en cybersécurité, intelligence artificielle et internet des objets.​
  • Nadiya Khokhryakova (Présidente) : Titulaire d'un PhD de l'Université Paris I La Sorbonne, elle est une entrepreneuse en série ayant lancé sa propre ligne de vêtements en 2001 en Ukraine et conseille de nombreuses start-ups.​
  • François Colet : Diplômé de l'ENSPG en 1991, il est un expert mondial de la recharge pour véhicules électriques et l'un des principaux auteurs de la norme ISO15118.​
  • Benoît Rognier : Titulaire d'un MSc en informatique de l'Université de Nottingham, il est co-fondateur et conseiller, ancien CTO de Probance et co-fondateur d'Edukera.​
  • Gaëtan Cadéro : Diplômé de CentraleSupélec (1996) et titulaire d'un MBA de HEC, il a dirigé le programme de réduction des émissions de CO2 chez Lafarge et a occupé des postes de direction chez Lafarge-Holcim, Chronopost France et OVH Cloud.​

Positionnement et Modèle Économique

Werenode se positionne comme un opérateur de mobilité avec sa propre application et un accès aux plateformes d'interopérabilité comme GIREVE, permettant de commander une session de recharge sur potentiellement 450 000 bornes en Europe. L'entreprise bénéficie de coûts opérationnels réduits grâce à sa maîtrise des technologies Web3.0 et offre une solution économique aux entreprises tout en conservant des fonctionnalités clés telles que la traçabilité des recharges et la gestion de groupes d'utilisateurs.​ Le modèle économique repose sur des commissions perçues sur les sessions de charge gérées par l'application, avec une commission maximale de 9%, ainsi que sur des revenus récurrents liés à la gestion des bornes de charge.​

Performances et Levée de Fonds

En 2023, Werenode a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 100 000 €, démontrant une traction intéressante en B2B. L'entreprise cherche à lever 400 000 € pour accélérer son développement commercial, avec une valorisation pré-money de 1,9 million d'euros, consolidée par le cabinet d'experts Estimeo-Linkera. Cette levée de fonds a débuté par une campagne de crowdfunding via la plateforme Kriptown.​

Distinctions et Appel aux Investisseurs

Werenode a été reconnue pour son expertise en Web3.0, recevant plusieurs distinctions, notamment le prix B-HUB comme meilleur projet Blockchain européen en 2021, et a remporté les projets européens Ontochain (2023) et Trustchain (2024).
