Team recognized for ATI-powered PWR-ARC™ energy and trust solution advancing equitable access and accountable autonomy
Pompano Beach, FL – Helixis Technology Corp proudly announces its Second-Place victory in the Crypto for Good HBCU Innovation Challenge, hosted by Base 11 in partnership with Coinbase. The competition invited students and innovators from historically Black colleges and universities to develop blockchain-based solutions that promote financial inclusion and social impact.
Helixis’ winning entry, titled “ATI × PWR-ARC™: Trust-Governed Energy Exchange,” showcased how blockchain and cryptographic identity can secure equitable access to power in an increasingly autonomous world. The concept merges Helixis’ Autonomous Trust Infrastructure (ATI) with its PWR-ARC™ wireless energy framework to create verifiable, token-based energy access that rewards civic participation and prevents unauthorized machine use.
The Helixis team was led by Twyla Jackson, Founder and Operating Visionary of Helixis Technology; Hannah LaCon, Founder of HerculE-Q and NASA T2X alumna; and Dennis Day II, Strategic Systems Advisor. Dennis delivered the team’s final presentation, highlighting how ATI can transform decentralized energy access into a system of measurable accountability.
“We approached blockchain not as speculation, but as structure,” said Twyla Jackson, Team Lead and Helixis Founder. “PWR-ARC™ turns power into a civic right verified through trust, not profit. It’s energy with integrity.”
The solution extends Helixis’ broader mission of developing trusted civic infrastructure that governs identity, policy, and behavior across autonomous systems. By embedding ATI’s cryptographic logic (Cygyl⁹™) and behavioral compliance engine (HALO9™) into wireless power networks, PWR-ARC™ proves that machines can only draw energy when authorized, consented, and logged a crucial safeguard as AI and autonomy scale globally.
Base 11 and Coinbase awarded Helixis Technology second place for its originality, civic impact, and technical depth. The recognition includes mentorship and funding support to advance PWR-ARC™ pilot development within Helixis’ ecosystem of HBCU and NASA-affiliated partners.
“This win validates that ethical autonomy and equitable access can coexist,” added Jackson. “ATI isn’t just a theory — PWR-ARC™ will be its living proof.”
