description: >-
  Versioning, deprecation and operational-status posture. Powerledger publishes no API, so
  there is no API version scheme, no Sunset/Deprecation header policy and no SLA to record.
  What it does have is a platform-level migration that this pipeline probed directly: the
  company retired its own permissioned chain in favour of Solana mainnet, and the RPC
  endpoint its own validator documentation still names no longer answers.
api_versioning:
  scheme: null
  note: No public API, therefore no published versioning scheme.
deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy page and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header practice is
    documented anywhere on powerledger.io or in the PowerLedger GitHub org. No
    `Deprecation` pointer is emitted in apis.yml.
status_page:
  published: false
  probed:
  - url: https://status.powerledger.io/
    status: '<no response>'
    note: Hostname does not resolve.
  note: No status page found. No `StatusPage` pointer is emitted in apis.yml.
sla:
  published: false
  note: No public SLA. Powerledger contracts its platform with utilities and retailers directly.
platform_transitions:
- name: Powerledger Energy Blockchain to Solana mainnet
  kind: platform-migration
  announced_by: https://powerledger.io/blockchain-technology/
  quote: >-
    "we have evolved from our own blockchain to integrating with Solana mainnet, harnessing
    the full potential of Solana's network and ecosystem capabilities for Powerledger's
    products"
  effect_on_developers: >-
    The Powerledger Energy Blockchain was a permissioned Solana-derived chain with its own
    JSON-RPC entrypoint. The POWR token now lives on Solana mainnet-beta as an SPL token
    (mint PowerhfyX6JqFprXzy89fPBSKqmLj8Yzcvr3FkHrQHR) and trades on Raydium and Jupiter.
  evidence:
  - url: https://powerledger.io/blockchain-technology/
    status: 200
  - url: https://github.com/PowerLedger/powr-spl-token
    status: 200
  window: not stated — Powerledger publishes no dated cutover or grandfathering window for the old chain.
dead_endpoints:
- endpoint: https://powr-api.mainnet.powerledger.io
  role: >-
    JSON-RPC entrypoint for the Powerledger Energy Blockchain, still named as
    `json_rpc_url` in the validator setup instructions in the README of
    https://github.com/PowerLedger/powr (last pushed 2024-06-24).
  dns: resolves to 67.209.52.38
  probe:
    method: 'POST {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getVersion"}'
    https_status: '<no response>'
    http_status: '<no response>'
    note: >-
      One bounded attempt each over https and http; neither returned. The hostname resolves
      but nothing answered. Read together with the documented move to Solana mainnet, the
      chain this endpoint fronted appears to be retired while the setup instructions that
      point at it are still published.
- endpoint: https://api.powerledger.io/
  probe:
    status: 502
    note: >-
      Resolves to a Google front end (34.111.232.72) that returns "502 Server Error" on
      every path probed (/, /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /v1/openapi.json, /api-docs,
      /docs, /graphql, /health). A named API host with no backend behind it.
- endpoint: https://explorer.powerledger.io/
  probe:
    status: '<no response>'
    note: Resolves to 34.16.81.61; no HTTP response on 443 or 80 within the probe window.
