What you get
Customer reviewing their reduced energy bill after joining Cryptotricity

Your bill, reduced automatically every month

Three ways your bill shrinks.
All of them automatic.

Cryptotricity earns on your behalf. The only thing you do is link your meter once.

🌿
Monthly DSR credits
When grid conditions create a Green Alert — high wind, high solar — using your appliances earns $Tricity credits. These are funded by NESO via Cryptotricity. Your bill goes down.
£7.50–£30+ / year
🔒
Staking discount
Lock your accumulated credits into a staking tier and unlock a recurring monthly percentage discount on your energy bill. The more you earn, the deeper the discount.
Up to 10% / month
Lifeline protection
For prepayment meter households. When your balance gets critically low, Cryptotricity fires an emergency credit directly to your meter — before you disconnect. Fully automatic. Zero action required.
Always on, always free
How it works
Pressing the button on a smart meter to connect to Cryptotricity

Step 1 takes two minutes — connect once, earn forever

Three steps to a lower bill.

01
Link your smart meter
Register with your MPAN (your supply point number — on your bill). We connect to your SMETS2 meter via a secure, read-only link. No engineer needed. Takes two minutes.
02
Give permission once
We access only your anonymised electricity usage data — read-only, never stored with your name or bank details. Privacy-by-Design means your data stays yours. Verify your email and you are done.
03
Credits arrive automatically
Cryptotricity monitors the grid, earns on your behalf during Green Alerts, and sends credits to your energy provider at the end of each billing cycle. A Loyalty Credit appears on your bill.
No switching required. Cryptotricity works alongside your existing supplier — Octopus, British Gas, Electric Ireland, Bord Gáis, or any other. You never need to change your energy supplier to use the platform.
Prepayment meter protection

The Lifeline. For the moments
that matter most.

If your prepayment meter runs out at 11pm on a cold night — no heating, no hot water, shops closed — the Lifeline fires before that happens.

⚡ Always active for prepayment customers
Automatic emergency credit. No action needed.
When Cryptotricity detects a critically low prepayment meter balance via the DCC smart meter network, it fires an emergency credit directly to your meter — in real time, before disconnection. No call to your supplier. No late-night panic. The lights stay on.

Credit discount tiers

Earn $Tricity credits — redeem as real bill discounts

The more you earn, the bigger the discount.

As $Tricity credits accumulate in your account, you can lock them into a staking tier to unlock a recurring monthly discount on your energy bill. One tap to activate. One tap to exit — any time.

$Tricity is a utility token — not an investment. Cryptotricity does not provide financial advice. The value of crypto assets can go up as well as down. The sole purpose of $Tricity is to help you manage your electricity costs. One-click exit always available — discount forfeited on early exit, credits returned to your balance immediately.
Questions

Everything you need to know
before joining.

Do I need to switch energy supplier?
No. Cryptotricity is completely supplier-agnostic. Octopus, British Gas, Electric Ireland, Bord Gáis — it does not matter. You stay with your current supplier and earn credits alongside your existing tariff.
What smart meter do I need?
You need a SMETS2 (second-generation) smart meter. These were installed across the UK and Ireland from 2018 onwards. If you are unsure, check your meter for a SMETS2 sticker or ask your supplier. If you have a first-generation SMETS1 meter, contact us — compatibility varies.
Is early access free?
Yes. Completely free to join. No credit card, no payment, no obligation. Early access members receive a launch notification and may receive bonus founding member credits when the platform goes live in Q3 2026.
What is the Lifeline emergency credit?
The Lifeline is Cryptotricity's automatic emergency protection for prepayment meter households. When the platform detects a critically low balance via the DCC smart meter network, it fires an emergency credit directly to your meter — before you disconnect. Zero action required. Zero contact with your supplier needed.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Cryptotricity follows a Privacy-by-Design model. We access only anonymised electricity consumption data via a secure, read-only link. We never store your name with your energy data, never access bank details, and never sell personal information. Full details in our privacy policy.
Does Cryptotricity control my power supply?
Absolutely not. We provide incentives — Green Alerts suggesting when to run appliances to earn credits. The decision to act is always yours. We never control, interrupt, or adjust your electricity supply under any circumstances.
What if I want to exit my staking tier?
One tap. Always. One-click exit is available at any time — the discount is forfeited immediately but your $Tricity credits return to your balance in full. No lock-in, no penalty on your credits. The staking tier activates the discount — exiting removes it. Your credits remain yours.
When does the platform launch?
Cryptotricity is targeting a Q3 2026 launch with a 100-household pilot cohort in social housing in England. Early access members will be first to be contacted when enrolment opens. The full platform rolls out from Q4 2026 across the UK and Ireland.
Housing associations

Running a social housing portfolio?
There is a different pathway for you.

MEES compliance and tenant welfare infrastructure for housing associations.
Cryptotricity is deployed in social housing as a resident energy participation platform — generating MEES smart readiness evidence, Warm Homes Fund application data, and Lifeline tenant protection from a flat annual pilot fee of £15,500 + VAT for 100 homes.
The platform feeds the housing association pilot from this page. If you are a Director of Assets, Head of Energy, or Sustainability Lead at a housing association — the conversation starts here.
