R3: Community-Share
What this route does.
What this route does. R3 lets households and small sites earn cash from local clean-energy pools—even if they can’t host PV/batteries or their market underpays. Corporates pre-buy granular attributes (I-REC/GO/hourly/24×7) from the pool; storage earns flex (availability + events). EDMA retires the official certificates in the external registries, posts the Issue/Retire IDs on-chain, and passes cash through to non-transferable slots held by participants. This is a programmatic pass-through, not a fund or security; participants never finance assets or trade slots.  
Who it serves (and who buys)
Participants. Renters, apartments/condos, heritage or shaded roofs, clean-grid under-earners, and households that want to stack income with R1/R2.
Buyers. 24/7 corporates (I-REC/GO/hourly attributes; ex-post carbon where allowed) and flex counterparties that pay for availability and event performance.
Assets / operator. C&I rooftops, community solar, BESS; the pool operator maintains registry custody and retires certificates on buyers’ behalf.
Geographies. UK/IE, EU-27/EEA (Nordics/FR), US/CA cities, AU/JP/SG—urban markets and clean-grid regions are prime.
Scale. 5–20k slots per pool, 5–10 pools per metro/country → ~25k–200k slots addressable near-term.
PoV in Action
Verify
Independent roles attest the same evidence hash
Generation — metering operator + independent auditor (optionally grid/operator feed).
Flex — program operator/aggregator + independent auditor for baseline, dispatch, measured response.
Storage proofs link charge windows to source ETT and discharge hours to the sold/retired attributes.
Issue/retire attributes
At 100 ETT (1 MWh) the pool issues and retires the recognized unit in the official registry (I-REC/GO/hourly/24×7) on buyer instruction. EDMA anchors the registry IDs on-chain and stamps & locks the backing ETT so the same MWh cannot fund any other claim (e.g., carbon) unless overlapping energy certificates are retired first. One kWh funds one claim.
Disburse to slots
All inflows sweep to the Community Treasury and then pro-rata to slots. Participants press Claim to withdraw stablecoins. Every value-moving call uses $EDM; 4% total fee applies (2% buyer + 2% participant at claim) and 50% of every fee burns on-chain (until circulating supply reaches 100M). No EDM, no action.
Outcome. capture → verify → PoV gate → ETT (pool) → issue/retire → slot cashflow → EDM fee (50% burn) → immutable lineage.
Slot mechanics (what a participant actually owns)
A slot is a non-transferable pass-through right to cash from a defined pool (not equity, not a tradable token).
The app shows min / likely / max ranges, counterparties, reserve policy, and the distribution calendar before joining.
You can exit per pool rules; you never hold the pool’s certificates—only cash receipts from verified retirements and flex.
Pricing & payouts (how money flows)
Pools place most volume forward with corporates for stability, then optimize residual spot. Storage contributes monthly flex income (availability + events). Distributions are net of: route fee 4% (paid in EDM; 50% burn) and pool reserve (policy-defined). The app also maintains an EDM fuel gauge so claims never stall.
Per-slot formula
Annual per-slot = (Attributes + Flex + Carbon) × Pass-through % ÷ Slots
Net to household = Per-slot × 0.98 (2% participant fee, paid in EDM at claim; 50% of that fee burns).
Worked example — 330 kWh/month per slot
Assume a local pool sells hourly attributes at $18/MWh and runs 5,000 slots. Each slot is allocated 0.33 MWh/month.
GMV: 1,650 MWh × $18 = $29,700
Route fee (4%): $1,188 → burn $594 (≈ 1,188 EDM at a $0.50 denomination floor; token count adjusts to oracle if higher)
Pool reserve (policy example): $1,485
Net distributable: $27,027 → $5.405 / slot / month
Add flex: e.g., $1.50 / slot / month → $6.905 / slot / month
All inputs (price strips, reserve %, pass-through %) are visible in-app and published with the pool.
Integrity & one-claim law
Registry-native: attributes are issued/retired in official registries; those IDs are anchored on-chain to the same claimId.
Consumed ETT are locked (non-transferable) and cannot be reused.
If ex-post carbon is allowed, EDMA issues/retire tons only after overlapping energy attributes are retired—one claim per kWh enforced in code.
Fees, EDM, and admission prefund
EDM is gas and fees. If a wallet is short, the call reverts—no auto-swaps.
Route fee: 4% on distributions (2% buyer + 2% participant), 50% burn (never discounted).
Denomination: contracts compute token counts with max(oracle_price, $0.50/EDM); this is a fee-denomination floor, not a price peg.
Admission Prefund (USD) = min( max( 0.02 × projected 3-month share, $20 ), $1,000 ) — held in EDM so deposits/claims don’t stall; withdrawable on exit per pool rules.
Risks & mitigations
Buyer default / price slippage → forward coverage limits, buffer reserves, counterparty caps, transparent waterfalls.
Under-delivery / baseline drift → telemetry redundancy, periodic testing, diversified assets and program mix.
Payout rails tightening → multiple stablecoin rails with KYC/AML and geo-gating as required.
Attestor issues → rotation, public KPIs, slashing/ban; revocation auto-freezes affected disbursements until rectified.
Non-negotiables
Ex-post only
Slots are non-transferable (pass-through, not a security)
One-claim law enforced in code
EDM only; no auto-swap
50% of all fees burn until circulating supply hits 100M.
What the audit sees
Pool pages expose a lineage viewer: evidence → verifiers → ETT (pool) → registry issue/retire → cash sweep → slot disbursements. Auditors can verify that every retirement maps to specific ETT sets and that disbursements occurred only after PoV passed.
Cross-links
PoV Layer: quorum, equality, one-claim, revocation
Fees & Tokenomics: 4% total, denomination floor, 50% burn
Marketplace → Tokens : distributions (not listings), burn ledger & audit export
Bottom line. Route 3 turns local clean-energy projects into a transparent, registry-anchored cash stream that anyone can join—no roof required, no speculative trading, and no double counting. Corporates get 24/7-grade retirements; communities get predictable income; and every payout tightens EDM supply by design.
