Overview

The Green Energy Network (GEN) is built upon a five-layer technical architecture that integrates real-world data from green energy infrastructure into a secure and intelligent digital ecosystem. This framework ensures traceability, compliance, automation, and impact-driven insights for all stakeholders—enterprises, investors, and regulators.

1

Energy Generation & Consumption Layer

Purpose: The foundation of the system, where energy data is generated through physical assets such as solar farms, EV charging stations, and energy-efficient facilities.

• Captures core metrics: energy generation (kWh), energy usage, voltage, current, environmental factors.

• Devices include: solar inverters, smart meters, EV charging units, and building management sensors.

• Supports physical linkage to tokenized real-world assets (RWA).

2

IoT Monitoring & Edge Layer

Purpose: Provides real-time connectivity and ensures the data integrity from edge devices before transmission into the analytics and blockchain layers.

• IoT gateways relay data securely and reliably.

• Edge computing enables initial validation, data formatting, and latency reduction.

• Secure device authentication ensures traceability and tamper prevention.

3

Blockchain Layer

Purpose: Serves as the decentralized trust layer for compliance, transparency, asset tokenization, and reward distribution.

• Asset-specific smart contracts store tariff configurations, verified energy outputs, and yield calculation logic.

• Treasury contract manages investor wallet mapping and reward distribution in stablecoins, while linking to fiat-based trust settlements.

• Merkle root anchoring and IPFS hashes are used for verifiable off-chain data.

• Stores only essential, low-frequency data:

  • Hourly/periodic energy output per asset

  • Yield distribution logs

  • Asset identity and tariff mapping

  • Carbon credit issuance and burn records

4

AI-Enabled Analytics Layer

Purpose: Delivers intelligence, optimization, and ESG insights through large-scale data processing and modeling.

• Analyzes raw, high-frequency time-series data (e.g., every minute/second).

• Provides:

  • Energy performance forecasting

  • Predictive maintenance

  • ESG scoring and benchmarking

  • Carbon footprint tracking

  • Compliance report generation

• Data is stored and processed off-chain for scalability and speed.

• Results are visualized through dashboards and licensed via the platform.

5

Application & Interface Layer

Purpose: Facilitates user interaction, ESG alignment, and access to investment and management tools.

• Investor dashboards: real-time yield updates, carbon offset records

• Enterprise portals: energy optimization controls, reporting center

• Regulator access: compliance audit tools

• Enables actions such as token purchases, credit trading, and proposal submissions for governance ($GEN)

On-Chain vs Off-Chain Data Categorization

Category	Stored On-Chain (Blockchain Layer）	Stored Off-Chain (Analytics Layer)
Energy snapshot (hourly/periodic)	Yes – For traceability & yield proof	Also used for forecasting
Raw IoT data (per second)	No	Yes – For optimization, anomaly detection
Tariff rate per asset	Yes – Per asset smart contract	Not needed off-chain
Yield distribution record	Yes – With stablecoin logic	For audit and investor dashboard
ESG score & benchmarks	Not needed on-chain	Calculated and licensed to stakeholders dashboard
RECs / Carbon Credit logs	Yes – Issuance, trading, burn records	For reporting & certificate generation
Audit trail & reports	No	Stored in IPFS, CID logged on-chain

Summary

GEN’s modular, 5-layer architecture balances on-chain trust and off-chain intelligence, enabling:

• Real-time monitoring and traceability

• Secure and scalable yield management

• ESG-driven insights and regulatory readiness

• Interoperable integration with stablecoins and fiat settlement systems

This architecture makes GEN the backbone of the next generation of green digital infrastructure.
