How Gorae is Making EV Chargers More Investable with Sui and Walrus
SUI ·
Gorae will bring 50,000+ chargers onchain in South Korea starting this year, turning verified charging activity into a more investable asset class, with expansion planned across APAC, Europe, and North America. Charging data today is siloed and self-reported so no party can independently verify what a charger earns, which slows cross-network settlement and creates barriers to investment. Gorae’s use of Sui and Walrus allows an EV charging session to execute as a simultaneous payment and verifiable record, with no hardware upgrades needed. Trust unlocks capital, and capital unlocks scale. That's the bet behind Gorae, the onchain layer for EV charging, as it brings 50,000+ EV chargers onchain in South Korea this year. Working with one of the country's largest charge point operators, Gorae uses Sui to settle payments and Walrus to turn each charging session into a verifiable record, in a single transaction. Charging data today is split across private silos. The driver's app handles the payment. The station operator has its data. Utility companies have the energy data. Each party sees one portion of the data and keeps its own books, with no way for an outside party to verify it. That gap has costs. Roaming settlement between operators is slow to reconcile. Investors, evaluating whether to finance a charger, have no independent way to verify the economics of the system. Gorae sits on top of charging operators’ existing management systems as a verification and settlement layer, reading completed sessions and writing a verifiable record onchain. A better database alone wouldn’t solve this. Any private system would still require outside parties to trust the operator's account of what happened, with no means to verify it themselves. Going onchain via Sui and Walrus introduces: One shared record that drivers, operators, utilities, and asset owners can verify without a middleman Multi-party settlement that pays everyone in a single atomic transaction Verified records that capital markets can actually underwrite "EV charging happens millions of times around the world every day, yet much of that value has never been recorded in a transparent, interoperable, and independently verifiable way," said Sejin Park, CEO of Gorae . "Building with Sui and Walrus is the first step toward changing that. We are turning tens of thousands of everyday, active chargers into digital assets. This brings new value for operators, provides verified and auditable assets for capital markets, and delivers a more transparent charging experience for drivers. Together, we are setting a new standard for EV charging infrastructure becoming a digital asset." Demand for EV charging is outpacing the capital needed to build it. Operating costs are high, payback periods are long, and financing due diligence on charger assets routinely takes months. Once every session is independently verifiable, each charger becomes more investable. Cheaper, faster capital for operators, which funds more chargers, can help grow the network. "Gorae is making a network of EV chargers more efficient and more investable by bringing it onto the blockchain and making every session verifiable," said Kostas Chalkias, Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer at Mysten Labs, original contributor to Sui and Walrus . “This is a demonstration of the value that Sui and Walrus can create for real-world infrastructure at scale, all without requiring new hardware investment.” Gorae will begin phasing its South Korean network onchain in the second half of 2026, followed by expansion across the wider Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and North America.

Why did Gorae choose Sui and Walrus over other blockchains and data platforms? Gorae needed three things at once: fast, atomic settlement across multiple parties in a single transaction, frictionless driver onboarding, and a place to store detailed session records that anyone can verify without prohibitive onchain storage costs. Sui delivers the first two through its object model, Programmable Transaction Blocks, and zkLogin. Walrus delivers the third: decentralized, verifiable storage with the sub-second retrieval and provability that DePIN operational data demands. Under the hood, Walrus delivers roughly 800ms retrieval on sub-1MB blobs and 2/3 fault tolerance, purpose-built for high-volume, high-value operational data. How does Gorae connect 50,000+ chargers without hardware swaps? Through its C2C (Charger-to-Chain) node technology, Gorae acts as a retrofit bridge that connects chargers to Sui and Walrus through the standard operating systems they already run on. There are no hardware upgrades and no capital expenditure required for CPOs to onboard, which is why the network can scale to 50,000 chargers quickly.
AI 시장 분석
