How DePINly estimates Combinder energy-data rewards. Last verified 2026-05-22.
TL;DR
Smart plugs (Shelly) monetize home energy data + grid flexibility. $BIND is pre-TGE, so the calculator outputs points only — no USD. Earnings accrue as points that will redeem when the token launches.
Earning mechanics
- 20h/day uptime gate (paid at midnight UTC) is real and required to qualify.
- Points scale with devices, appliances, uptime and the number of distinct DER device categories connected (plugs, +solar, +EV) — connecting more device types = more data.
- No country multiplier (Combinder states no geographic restrictions — removed as fabricated). No solar/EV reward boosts (no published multiplier). No device cap.
Formula (sketch)
qualifies = uptimeHoursPerDay ≥ 20
dailyPoints ≈ base × deviceCount × derTypeFactor × (qualifies ? 1 : 0) // illustrative
Assumptions & confidence
| Assumption | Basis | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| 20h/day gate, no geo limit, no caps | Combinder docs, audit 2026-05-21 | 🟢 |
| Shelly device costs ($30/$35) | retail | 🟡 |
| Base points/device/day | no published formula (beta) | 🔴 ILLUSTRATIVE |
| USD value | none (pre-TGE) | n/a |
NOT modeled
$BIND token / USD value (pre-TGE), the points→token conversion, real DER reward weighting (unpublished), electricity context.
Confidence rating
🟡 — Mechanics (uptime gate, DER-type scaling) are sourced and fabricated multipliers were removed, but the points magnitude is illustrative (no published formula) and there's no USD.

These figures are point estimates inside a wide band and depend on local demand, hardware, uptime and token price. They may be wrong in either direction. Nothing here is financial advice — always do your own research.
