Key Concepts
1. Energy as Economic Foundation
Energy is the backbone of all economic activity, powering production, transport, land, and innovation. When made abundant and affordable, it directly increases real purchasing power parity across societies.
2. GET: Green Energy Token
GET is a digital asset backed by verifiable energy infrastructure, spanning both brownfield and greenfield sources. Leveraging real-time data from smart meters and IoT analytics, it enables real utility, cross-border trade, and investment yield with measurable environmental impact.
3. Regenerative Finance (ReFi) Meets Real Utility
Digital finance created flow; Rheo transforms it into regenerative capital. By tying value directly to energy assets, Rheo drives scalable, climate-positive infrastructure with real utility.
4. Institutional-Grade Design
Rheo is built for compliance and scale, aligned with regulatory frameworks like (e.g. MAS Project Guardian, ADGM Digital Lab, & FCA’s Digital Securities Sandbox) compatible with RTGS systems, and designed for transparent, auditable capital flows.
5. Economic Transformation via Energy Markets
Rheo unlocks energy as an investable asset class, connecting clean supply to rising AI-driven demand, while opening infrastructure returns to a wider base beyond public-private partnerships.
—
Why Now?
AI Growth is straining Global Energy Systems.
Governments and Markets face a Critical Infrastructure Gap.
Regenerative Finance, Tokenisation, and Programmable Energy Markets are Converging.

Conclusion:
Blockchain = The Audit Trail
Power Grid = The Infra Connector
Finance = The Capital Catalyst
Energy = The New Reserve
🚨 Problem
Clean energy is rising, but supply is inconsistent and hard to verify. At the same time, AI data centres, EVs, and digital industries are driving massive new demand. Capital for green infrastructure is stuck, especially in emerging markets, and trust in tokenised assets remains low due to unverifiable claims.
🛠️ Solution
Rheo creates a trusted financial layer for energy. Our Green Energy Token (GET) is backed by verified renewable output and works across borders and chains. It turns real-time energy data into a programmable asset, usable for trading, ESG reporting, and powering AI infrastructure. With institutional-grade compliance and embedded proofs, Rheo unlocks secure, scalable capital for the global energy transition.
🔁 Rheo Network Operations
-
🏆 Reward Worker Nodes
Individuals or businesses operating worker nodes, software packages within the Rheo network, will earn Rheo’s $GET rewards.
Enterprises are responsible for distributing rewards to encourage uptime and reliability. -
🔒 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. -
✅ Validate Green Energy Tokens
Validators must stake a significant amount of $GET to participate in the validation process — ensuring the integrity and reliability of tokenised green energy.
Rheo’s 3-Layer Verification Model: Powering the Future of Energy and Real-World Asset (RWA) Markets
⚡ Rheo’s Tokenomics Framework
Rheo introduces a transparent, stable, and secure energy & asset-backed tokenomics model built on three core layers:
- 🔋 Proof of Energy Monetisation (PoEM) – Foundation Layer
Links real-time energy data to digital value, minting tokens verified by smart meters and anchored to measurable generation. - 📈 Proof of Futures (PoF) – Investment Layer
Tokenises future energy output, enabling fractional investments backed by verifiable generation contracts and projected returns. - 💠 Proof of Reserve (PoR) – Verification Layer
Audits all tokens and futures against real energy data and contractual reserves, ensuring full transparency and systemic trust.
🔗 Integration & Standards
Rheo bridges energy, finance, and decentralised infrastructure by leveraging ERC-1400, ERC-3643, and ERC-1155 token standards.
⚙️ 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 (GET) 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.
⚡ Real-Time Power Auctioning
-
Decentralised market enabling dynamic buying & selling of energy based on supply and demand.
-
Smart contracts automate transactions and pricing.
-
Optimises renewable energy use and reduces waste.
🔒 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.
🌍 Impact & Benefits
Cost Savings:
-
Fossil fuels: $0.12/kWh | Renewables: $0.06/kWh → 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 CO₂/kWh.
-
Data centre using 100M kWh emits 92,000 metric tons CO₂; switching to renewables cuts emissions near zero.
🌿 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 CO₂ annually.
-
Data centres (1% global electricity) switching to renewables can cut 211.6 million metric tons CO₂/year.
📊 Energy Token Peg Mechanism
-
Token pegged to weighted average cost of energy production, smoothing price volatility.
-
Regional adjustments and rolling averages over 6–12 months maintain pricing fairness and stability.
-
Increasing renewable weight enhances long-term affordability.
🇸🇦🇦🇪 Regional Use Cases: Saudi Arabia & Dubai
-
Both target 25% renewable energy by 2030.
-
Saudi Arabia’s 25% shift could reduce annual CO₂ by 147.25 million metric tons.
-
Dubai’s similar target reduces CO₂ by 52.25 million metric tons.
-
Requires consistent 3–4% annual renewable energy growth.
🔑 Summary
-
