Could Electricity Trading Become a New Use Case for JASMY and Smart Cities?
Most people know #Jasmy for its work in personal data protection, blockchain technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). But a patent application published in February 2026 reveals another potentially important area of development: technology that could help households and businesses manage, share and trade electricity using blockchain.
Even more interestingly, Kazumasa Sato, a member of Jasmy's founding leadership, is named as one of the inventors. Could this eventually create another real-world use case for JASMY and create a potentially significant connection to #Remixpoint's energy business?
First, when was the patent filed?
The patent is officially titled AC-DC Power Conversion Device and Power System.

Patent publication | WO2026028636A1 |
Company | Jasmy Inc., Japan |
Original priority date | 29 July 2024 |

An important distinction: This is not a patent invented or first filed in 2026. Its earliest claimed priority dates back to July 2024, its international application was filed in June 2025, and the application became publicly available in February 2026. Publication does not mean the patent has been granted.

What does the invention actually do?
Imagine you have solar panels on your roof and a battery that stores the electricity they generate. During the day, your solar panels produce more electricity than you need. You store some in your battery, but you may still have electricity available. Meanwhile, another household nearby needs additional power to charge its electric vehicle. Now imagine technology that helps manage the electricity moving between connected systems and allows participants to agree on buying and selling electricity. That is one possible application described in Jasmy's patent.
The invention has two particularly interesting elements.
First, the electricity-management technology.
The patent describes a device that uses sensors, an inverter and a battery to respond quickly when electricity demand changes.
In simple terms, it helps control how much electricity flows through a system, even when someone suddenly switches on an appliance or electricity demand changes. This could be useful for homes, businesses, battery storage installations and smaller local electricity networks.
Second, the blockchain application.
The patent also describes how connected electricity systems could use blockchain to record electricity transactions. For example:
One household offers to sell surplus electricity.
Another household agrees to purchase it.
A smart contract records the agreement.
The system manages the electricity being supplied.
Blockchain records how much electricity was actually delivered and received.
The records could support payments, local digital coins or reward points.
A smart contract is simply a computer program that automatically carries out agreed instructions when certain conditions are met. The important point is that blockchain could provide a shared, verifiable record of electricity transactions.
This is a proposed application described in the patent, not an announcement that Jasmy has launched an electricity marketplace.
Why could this be good for Jasmy?
Imagine a smart city where hundreds or thousands of homes and businesses generate electricity through solar panels and store surplus energy in batteries. Rather than simply consuming electricity, each property could become both a buyer and a seller, sharing excess energy with others across a connected local network. Intelligent energy-management systems could coordinate the flow of electricity, while blockchain technology could securely record transactions, verify energy exchanges and support automated payments. Now imagine this infrastructure operating across entire residential developments, commercial precincts and eventually cities.
This is where Jasmy's technology could become particularly relevant. Its patented energy-management technology could potentially support the physical movement of electricity, while blockchain could provide a trusted record of transactions. If #Jasmy commercialised this technology, it could generate revenue through licensing, software, equipment or ongoing services. If these systems were also integrated with #JasmyChain, the resulting network activity could create additional utility and demand for JASMY tokens.
The broader opportunity is not simply electricity trading. It is the possibility of Jasmy contributing to the secure, interconnected infrastructure of future smart cities.
If commercially successful, this could create new business opportunities involving:
Residential solar and battery systems
Local electricity networks
Commercial energy management
Smart electricity trading
Blockchain-based transaction records
Energy-related payment and reward systems
These are potential applications, not confirmed commercial contracts.
Why is Kazumasa Sato's involvement significant?
One particularly interesting detail is that Kazumasa Sato is named as a co-inventor, alongside Nao Morita and Takashi Hagiwara. This matters because there is a difference between being an executive of a technology company and being recognised as an inventor on a patent application. An executive might oversee a project, approve funding or announce a new product without personally contributing to its invention.
A named inventor is identified as having contributed to the inventive subject matter.
Sato's inclusion therefore suggests direct technical involvement in the development of the invention. It is also interesting because the patent concerns electrical engineering and power-management systems, rather than only personal information protection.
This suggests that Jasmy's technical development interests may extend across several industries.
What does this have to do with the JASMY cryptocurrency?
This is where we need to distinguish Jasmy the technology company from JASMY the cryptocurrency. A successful patent could help Jasmy Corporation develop products, licence technology or establish partnerships. But that does not automatically increase demand for JASMY tokens. For the token to benefit directly, Jasmy would need to connect the technology to its blockchain ecosystem in a way that creates genuine token utility.
There are three possible outcomes.
Scenario 1: Jasmy licences the electricity technology
Scenario 2: Electricity transactions use JasmyChain
Scenario 3: #JASMY becomes an essential part of an electricity marketplace
Could this become a major opportunity?
Potentially.
Consider a future neighbourhood in which hundreds of households across Japan have solar panels and batteries. Each household could sometimes buy electricity and sometimes sell it. If #Jasmy supplied the technology, it could potentially earn revenue through equipment, software, licensing or ongoing services. If those systems also used #JasmyChain, network activity would increase exponentially.
Final thoughts: Why this patent deserves attention
Jasmy's energy patent is interesting because it points towards another possible application for the company's technology. It describes a physical electricity-control invention and a potential blockchain-supported system for recording and coordinating electricity transactions. The involvement of Kazumasa Sato and his co-inventors is also noteworthy because it demonstrates identifiable technical contributions associated with Jasmy.
For now, this patent is a potentially important piece of Jasmy's longer-term technology story rather than proof of an immediate price catalyst. If Jasmy eventually announces an operational energy marketplace built on JasmyChain, with JASMY playing a defined economic role, that would be a much more significant development for token holders. Until then, the patent is worth watching, but its commercial and cryptocurrency implications remain possibilities rather than established outcomes.
