The Ec³ Plug is a proprietary hardware designed to create a DePIN network based on distributed energy interaction, intended to collect data from all discharging devices.

The Ec³ Plug can be connected to energy storage devices to record electricity usage information and store it on the [peaq network](https://www.peaq.network/), thereby earning ECT token rewards based on electricity consumption.
