Partnership announced in same week as Energi Mine launches promotion with OKEx, the world’s biggest exchange
London – Energi Mine, the blockchain platform that financially rewards energy saving behaviour using EnergiTokens (ETK), and Simply EV, a leading provider of EV accessories today, announced a partnership. The partnership will enable those with ETK to spend their currency on electric vehicle charging cables and accessories, as well as earn ETK through a rewards scheme at Simply EV.
The relationship will enable Simply EV customers to join the Energi Mine community and use the ETK tokens. These tokens can be earned through the Energi Mine platform, by rewarding people for energy saving behaviour: from purchasing electric vehicles, to using energy efficient appliances. Operating in a similar way to rewards and loyalty schemes, ETK can also be gained by customers through purchasing certain goods from a growing list of suppliers. In fact, one of the very actions through which a customer could earn ETK would be to purchase products from Simply EV.
Simply EV sells electric vehicle charging equipment direct to consumers – rather than through the vehicle manufacturers themselves. Therefore, whatever make of electric vehicle a customer has, they will be able to find a variety of charging equipment on their site; the charge cables in particular offering an industry leading five-year warranty.
Conor Thomas, managing director of Simply EV, said that “By teaming up with Energi Mine and joining their circle of partners, we are creating a real community for our customers. Our customers have made the decision to invest in sustainable transportation and reduce their carbon footprint, what better way to reward them than to bring them into the Energi Mine ecosystem, offering them rewards with us and the other companies Energi Mine has partnered with.”
This is one of many recent partnerships announced by Energi Mine, including others with the Energy Managers Association that will see the platform trialled on Network Rail, as well as a recently announced partnership with FuzeX that takes crypto one step further to being used at the checkout when buying goods in person. In forming such partnerships, Energi Mine is building a community of energy conscious businesses that will accept and aid the distribution of EnergiTokens.
Omar Rahim, CEO of Energi Mine said “Part of our vision at Energi Mine is to create a community of likeminded businesses that all strive to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability. With this partnership we are now making consumers part of that ecosystem by giving them a way that they can benefit from financial rewards for their energy conscious decisions. This should also have the effect of incentivising further energy saving behaviour.”
This partnership comes off the back of recent research that has shown that the UK is lagging behind when it comes to the provision of infrastructure for charging electric vehicles – as the rate of uptake of electric cars outstrips the installation of vehicle charging points.
Following on from the successful launch of its rewards app, Energi Mine is offering bonus EnergiTokens (ETK) and a prize of $20,000 worth of ETH when you open an account with the biggest crypto exchange in the world, OKEx, simply by depositing 1 ETH. The first 3000 people to sign up to OKEx, using this will receive EnergiTokens (ETK), with the first 1000 people each receiving 3000 ETK, the next 1000 people receiving 2000 ETK and the final 1000 people receiving 1000 ETK. As well as this, you will have a 1 in 3,000 chance to WIN $20,000 worth of ETH.

, one of the most popular and the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the U.S, has now announced the purchase of an Ethereum startup service called Paradex, which will allow customers to trade in hundreds of digital tokens directly with one another.
Coinbase described Paradex as “a sophisticated and secure relay platform that will allow our customers to trade hundreds of tokens directly from their wallets.” The Paradex service currently employees 10 people and is developed using a protocol called 0x, that provides customers a gateway to access to less known digital currencies. The deal is done for some undisclosed amount.
Brian Armstrong, CEO and founder of the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange, sees the acquisition as reinforcing “Coinbase’s commitment to investing in decentralized infrastructure and participating in the nascent world of wallet-to-wallet trading.”
“Our team couldn’t be more proud of the work we’ve accomplished over the past year. And we couldn’t be more excited about this new chapter under the Coinbase umbrella,” said Paradex CEO, Ron Bernstein in a statement.
On Wednesday, May 23, the company also announced the rebranding of GDAX exchange to Coinbase Pro. The new Coinbase Pro has been specifically designed for the individual digital currency traders, and according to the company, this new service was launched to suit the needs of this vary group. As stated in their , some of the salient features of the new Coinbase Pro service include:
Automatic transfer of all transactions and balances from GDAX to Coinbase Pro;
A completely redesigned platform that will make the trading experience easier and more intuitive;
Simplified deposit and withdrawal processes;
Improved charts that will allow customers to easily scroll and access historical data;
A new consolidated portfolio view called “My Wallets” that lets customers easily see an overview of their account orders and balances.
The company plans to integrate the Paradex platform with the Coinbase Pro, which will allow all the Coinbase users trade “hundreds of tokens directly from their wallets” without the exchange in middle. As a result, Coinbase customers will get access to several other digital currencies. Currently, Coinbase offers its customers to trade only four digital currencies – bitcoin, Ethereum bitcoin Cash and Litecoin on its platform.
Asiff Hirji, Coinbase president and chief operating officer told CNBC’s “” that the company is willing to list “as many assets as possible”, however, it is yet to get proper guidance following its discussion with the regulators. Hirji said:
“As soon as there is more clarity we will list them as long as they adhere to our framework. But clarity is needed and I don’t think we’re close to that, unfortunately.”
The blog post also goes to mention that the new service will be first available to customers outside the U.S. The company states:
“After making some product enhancements, we’ll initially offer this experience to customers outside the U.S., and eventually to U.S. customers after we implement changes.”
Till the 29th of June, 2018, Coinbase Pro and GDAX will operate in tandem, but then “all customers will be seamlessly rolled over” to the new platform.
