Use Cases Powered by POV
To see how EDMA functions in practice, follow a transaction end-to-end. Across domains the flow is identical: evidence → verified proof → market asset → settlement in $EDM → 50% burn.
Example 1: Renewable Energy
Generation
A rooftop solar installation produces 1,000 kWh.
Capture & sign
Smart meters record generation, location, and timestamps and send signed data to EDMA.
Verify & mint proof
The verification layer validates the readings and mints 100 ETT (1 ETT = 10 kWh, non-transferable proof).
Consolidate to market unit
At 100 ETT, the producer mints 1 MWh Energy (REC) NFT (or, where applicable, converts to compliance RECs).
Separately, CLE can be minted as the reward token per verified MWh (not derived from ETT).
List & sell
The Energy/REC NFT is listed on EDMA’s marketplace. A corporate buyer purchases it for $100.
Fees (paid in EDM): 2% buyer + 2% seller = 4% total.
Buyer pays: $100 + $2 (in EDM)
Seller receives: $98 and pays $2 (in EDM)
Total fee: $4 in EDM → $2 burned, $2 to treasury/incentives
Retire for compliance
The buyer retires the NFT on-chain as a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). Lineage remains immutable.
Result: the producer gets instant liquidity, the buyer gets a verifiable REC, and EDM supply decreases via the burn.
Example 2: Carbon Market
Reduction event
A reforestation project removes 500 tCO₂.
Capture & sign
Project MRV (satellite + field audits) submits signed evidence (methodology, baseline, vintage).
Verify & mint proof
Protocol checks pass; EDMA mints 500 Carbon Credit NFTs (1 NFT = 1 tCO₂) with full metadata.
List & sell
A corporate buyer purchases all 500 NFTs for $12,500.
Fees (in EDM, 4% total): $500
$250 burned, $250 to treasury/incentives.
Retire
Buyer retires all 500 NFTs on-chain, creating permanent, auditable proof of reductions.
Result: the project secures climate finance, the buyer gets regulatory-grade offsets, and EDM supply contracts again.
Why These Flows Matter
Both examples demonstrate the same cycle: real-world event → verified proof → market asset → $EDM settlement → automatic burn.
Every action inside EDMA — producing energy, reducing carbon, or trading milestones — creates demand for $EDM while reducing its supply, tying token value to verifiable economic activity.
