Deployment Models

DeCharge supports multiple deployment pathways to accommodate a wide variety of users, from individuals installing a charger at home to investors funding devices at remote sites. Each model is designed to ensure fast rollout, reliable operations, and fair distribution of rewards, while reducing technical and operational burden on the participants.

All DeCharge chargers, including Mini, Beast, Titan Mini, and Titan, can be deployed under any of the models below, depending on host preferences and regional demand.

Delegated Deployment

(Hands-off Model)

DIY Deployment

(Self-Owned and Self-Installed)

Partnered Deployment

(Cross-Network Co-location)

Who it's for:

• Passive income seekers

• Individuals without land or power access

What you receive:

• A share of the rewards generated by your device based on energy usage and uptime

• Access to your charger’s data through the DeCharge dashboard

• Maintenance and support handled entirely by DeCharge

DIY Deployment (Self-Owned and Self-Installed)

This model is ideal for users who want to install and manage their own devices locally.

Who it's for:

• Shop owners, local businesses, or residential communities

• EV owners with accessible parking and grid connection

• Users who want full control over charger operation

How it works:

• You purchase a Mini or Beast charger

• Projects or communities seeking energy infrastructure synergy

• Infra investors aiming to maximize site utility

How it works:

• DeCharge collaborates with a partner entity to co-deploy chargers

• Terms of revenue sharing, setup cost, and responsibilities are jointly defined

• Co-located deployments benefit from existing infrastructure like connectivity or power

What you receive:

• Shared rewards based on your role in the deployment

• Enhanced traffic and utility for your site

• Integration with other community-first infrastructure models

Deployment Model Comparison

Model Name	Who Installs It	Who Owns It	Who Operates It	Best Suited For

Choosing the Right Path

To choose the right deployment model, consider:

• Do you have access to a location and local power?

• Do you want full control or a passive model?

• Are you in a region where delegated deployment is available?

• Are you comfortable coordinating installation locally?

If you're unsure, delegated deployment is a great starting point. It requires no infrastructure or site access and lets you begin earning from the DeCharge network immediately.

All deployment models plug into the same rewards logic, backend telemetry, and performance tracking system.
