Verdigris and Fiùtur Partner to Turn Real-Time Electrical Intelligence into Investable Data Center Metrics
New York, NY — Verdigris, a leader in intelligent power management, and Fiùtur, a real-world data verification network, today announced a strategic partnership to bring data center performance metrics to capital markets. This collaboration aims to create a new paradigm for financing an asset class that is central to the global economy and requires trillions in new investment.
The partnership will enable the creation of innovative financial products for data center construction and operations by converting real-time operational data into financial-grade metrics that meet the standards of Fiùtur’s Know Your Data (KYD) program. This is a crucial step for an industry projected to require more than $5 trillion in capital expenditures by 2030 to meet the rising demand for AI-driven compute power.
Bridging Data Center Operational Intelligence with Financial Markets
As data centers become one of the fastest-growing and most energy-intensive asset classes, investors and operators face a significant challenge: managing risks with the rigor required for competitive financing. The global data center market, currently valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars, is on a trajectory to require massive capital outlays, with some U.S. financing alone reaching tens of billions annually.
The collaboration addresses this by combining Verdigris's and Fiùtur's core competencies:
- Verdigris's Electrical Intelligence: Verdigris utilizes proprietary 8kHz waveform sensing and AI analytics to generate continuous, auditable performance data, from circuit-level power anomalies to portfolio-wide sustainability performance.
- Fiùtur's Data Verification: Fiùtur leverages its DLT-native (Distributed Ledger Technology) IP to verify and tokenize this data via its SMART Protocol. This transforms raw operational information into immutable, standardized reference data delivered through institutional-grade distribution networks, like the Canton Network, suitable to global financial markets.
Enabling a New Class of Capital
By connecting Verdigris's data fidelity and Fiùtur’s verification capabilities with the SMART Protocol, this partnership creates a transparent and trustworthy bridge between physical data center performance and capital markets. This new infrastructure facilitates access to preferential and scalable financing from institutional investors.
“High-integrity, verified data is the foundation for unlocking the capital flows required to build tomorrow’s data centers,” said Joe Madden, CEO of Fiùtur. “This partnership builds a trusted bridge to increasingly tokenized financial markets, empowering efficient data centers to secure the financing they need for growth and resilience.”
“Today’s data centers demand more than efficiency—they need financial-grade visibility to unlock their full potential,” said Mark Chung, CEO and Co-founder of Verdigris. “Through this partnership, as operators adopt microgrids, on-site nuclear (SMRs), and participate in real-time energy markets, we ensure their power quality and performance data remains verifiable and financeable in next-generation energy environments.”
Expanding the Fiùtur Ecosystem
This partnership marks a significant milestone in Fiùtur’s mission to build a trusted “network of networks” of high-integrity data providers. By establishing Verdigris as the first electrical data provider approved under Fiùtur’s Know Your Data (KYD) program, Fiùtur strengthens its ecosystem and reinforces its role as the bridge between real-world operational data and the financial institutions driving the transition economy.

About Fiùtur
Fiùtur provides configurable data infrastructure to verify, tokenize, and distribute physical, real-world asset data to global markets. The SMART Protocol, developed by Fiùtur, is a digitally-enforced governance and verification fabric, built in Daml and deployed on Canton. It unifies stakeholder governance, reference data, and contract logic to authenticate real-world, physical assets—and the performance data they generate—in a secure, privacy-preserving, and scalable way for the tokenized economy. From renewable power and fuel production to data centers to agriculture to natural capital, the SMART Protocol compliments and enhances Canton’s native power to standardize how participants attest to provenance, manage lifecycle events, and substantiate performance claims for use in finance, insurance, and trading products.
