โก Rheo White Paper
๐ Introduction
Energy powers everything โ from cities and computing to commerce and communities.
But as climate risks intensify and demand soars, the world needs a smarter energy system.
Rheo is the bridge โ connecting capital, infrastructure, and innovation to accelerate the clean energy transition.
โก What Rheo Powers
โ
Where Trust Meets Energy โ Verified tokenised energy for real-world use, trading, and investment
๐ CeDeFi (Centralised Assets, Decentralised Finance) โ A secure financial network bridging industrial & institutional-grade infrastructure with on-chain liquidity
๐ก๏ธ Multi-Proof Financial Network โ Proof of existence, ownership, and source for infrastructure and energy assets
โป๏ธ De-EnFi (Decentralised Energy Finance)ย โ Unlocking capital for clean energy transition through verified Green Energy Tokens (GETs)
๐ก Real-World Connectivity โ Embedded machine-to-machine validation, device-level proofs, and smart metering
๐ Powering the Future โ Infrastructure for AI, data centres, mobility, and resilient economies
๐ Global Network, Local Impact โ Scalable for both advanced and emerging markets, enabling sovereign energy security
๐ Trust Beyond Oracles โ Pre-transaction verification, staked consensus, and resilient validator networks
๐งฉ Background
Rheo enables real-world infrastructure investment with Green Energy Tokens and automated verification systems โ creating new pathways to trade, own, and power the future through trusted energy data and assets.
๐จ Problem
- Unreliable renewable energy supply due to inconsistency and lack of trusted validation at source
- Rising demand from AI data centres, electric mobility, virtual power plants, and digitised industries
- Capital bottlenecks in building green infrastructure, especially in developing economies
- Lack of trust in tokenised infrastructure due to unverifiable claims and poor due diligence
๐ ๏ธ Solution & Technology Stack
Two Core Layers:
โก Green Energy Token (GET)
- Backed by verified renewable output
- Enables real-world usage, staking, and liquidity
- Interoperable across regions and chains
- Used for energy offset, ESG reporting, and AI/data compute provisioning
๐ธ Integrated Financial System
- Real-world infrastructure meets decentralised finance (DeFi) through secure, tokenised assets
- Embedded proofs of source, ownership, and existence
- Designed to meet institutional-grade security and compliance standards
- Unlocks bank/institutional participation in verifiable digital markets
๐งฌ Technical Architecture
Rheo is a utility token powering the Green Energy Ecosystem โ coordinating participants, enabling access to infrastructure services, and compensating validators.
It covers network costs like asset and organisation registration via Switchboard, and supports the management of Worker Node networks.
Unlike crypto-coins, NFTs, or fiat-pegged stablecoins, Rheo is purpose-built to facilitate secure, verifiable energy and asset-related transactions โ bridging real-world infrastructure with decentralised finance.
๐ Rheo Network Operations
-
๐ Reward Worker Nodes
Individuals or businesses operating worker nodes โ software packages within the Rheo network โ will earn Rheo’s $GET rewards.
Enterprises are responsible for distributing rewards to encourage uptime and reliability. -
๐ Operate Worker Nodes
To become a trusted node operator, individuals/businesses must stake Rheo tokens.
Enterprises can tailor staking and reward systems to their unique node configurations. -
โ Validate Green Energy Tokens
Validators must stake a significant amount of $GETย to participate in the validation process โ ensuring the integrity and reliability of tokenised green energy.
Rheoโs 3-Layer Verification Model: Powering the Future of Energy and Real-World Asset (RWA) Markets
โก Rheoโs Tokenomics Framework
Rheo introduces a transparent, stable, and secure energy & asset-backed tokenomics model built on three core layers:
Proof of Energy Tokenisation (PoET) โ Foundation Layerย ย
-
Purpose: Issue tokens verified by smart meter controllers.
-
Function: Mint tokens based on real energy data; tokens are pegged to Proof of Futures contracts, ensuring they are backed by real-world commitments.
-
Why it matters: Creates a verifiable link between digital tokens and physical energy assets, guaranteeing legitimacy.
Proof of Existence – Automated Switchboard Protocol (ASP)
- Purpose: Verify the legitimacy and ownership of infrastructure, associated assets, and supporting documentation.
- Function: Cryptographically verifies infrastructure-related data, from manual switches to automated trust. Rheoโs Switchboard Protocol is the next evolution of the verification system, one that turns infrastructure into liquid, verifiable markets.
- Why it matters: Establishes trustless, tamper-proof verification for infrastructure-backed assets, enabling scalable due diligence, reducing manual oversight, and strengthening institutional confidence.
Proof of Futures (PoF) โ Investment Layer
-
Purpose: Enable investment in future energy assets (projected generation or returns).
-
Function: Allows fractional investments in future energy projects backed by tokenised assets.
-
Why it matters: Connects future energy production to real-world assets, offering flexible investment opportunities.
๐ Integration & Standards
Rheo bridges energy, finance, and decentralised infrastructure by leveraging ERC-20, ERC-3643, and ERC-884 token standards.
โ๏ธ How It Works
Energy Verification:
-
Tracks renewable & fossil fuel energy via smart meters & blockchain for transparency.
-
Includes future energy commitments backed by futures contracts, validating both current and projected assets.
Token Generation:
-
Energy producers generate Green Energy Tokens (GETs) tied to verified energy output.
-
Futures contracts for energy/carbon offsets integrate into token issuance, incentivising clean energy generation.
Token Burn Mechanism:
-
Offsets carbon footprint by burning tokens linked to non-renewable usage.
-
Controls supply, incentivises efficiency, and maintains token value.
Token Rewards:
-
Miners earn Rheo tokens proportional to renewable energy contribution, aligning economic rewards with environmental impact.
โก Real-Time Power Auctioning
-
Decentralised market enabling dynamic buying & selling of energy based on supply and demand.
-
Smart contracts automate transactions and pricing.
-
Optimizes renewable energy use and reduces waste.
๐ Smart Contracts & Future Contracts
-
Rheo tokens power energy futures contracts traded via auction for future delivery.
-
Implements token locking and confiscation for network security and growth.
-
Transactions validated by a distributed network of validators.
๐ Impact & Benefits
Cost Savings:
-
Fossil fuels: $0.12/kWh | Renewables: $0.06/kWh โ 50% savings
-
Example: Data centre using 10M kWh saves $600K/year; at 100M kWh, $6M/year saved.
Operational Efficiency:
-
Lower maintenance & more stable costs with renewables.
Environmental Impact:
-
Fossil fuel emissions ~0.92 kg COโ/kWh.
-
Data centre using 100M kWh emits 92,000 metric tons COโ; switching to renewables cuts emissions near zero.
๐ฟ Global Net-Zero Contribution
-
Energy sector = 70%+ of global greenhouse gases.
-
Shifting 1% of global energy (~230 TWh) from fossil to renewable reduces 211.6 million metric tons COโ annually.
-
Data centres (1% global electricity) switching to renewables can cut 211.6 million metric tons COโ/year.
๐ Energy Token Peg Mechanism
-
Token pegged to weighted average cost of energy production, smoothing price volatility.
-
Regional adjustments and rolling averages over 6โ12 months maintain pricing fairness and stability.
-
Increasing renewable weight enhances long-term affordability.
๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ช Regional Use Cases: Saudi Arabia & Dubai
-
Both target 25% renewable energy by 2030.
-
Saudi Arabiaโs 25% shift could reduce annual COโ by 147.25 million metric tons.
-
Dubaiโs similar target reduces COโ by 52.25 million metric tons.
-
Requires consistent 3โ4% annual renewable energy growth.
๐ Summary
-
Rheo drives value creation and infrastructure growth through tokenised renewable energy.
-
Enables massive cost savings, carbon reduction, and a scalable energy economy.
-
Positions Rheo as a leader in green blockchain innovation and the global transition to Net-Zero.
