Joule Credits
ERC-20 · Chainlink-verified DR settlement
No tokens minted yet — by design. Minting is gated by an independent Proof-of-Reserve attestation (Chainlink CRE); until it is live and fresh, the contract refuses to mint, so supply can never exceed verified kWh.
Verification Chain
1 JLC = 1 kWh curtailed · decentralized verification
v2 adds an independent Chainlink CRE Proof-of-Reserve attestor that caps minting at the verified kWh — supply can never exceed what was measured.
Why this is different
Existing DR settlement is opaque: the utility trusts the customer's self-reported claim of curtailment. There is no cryptographically verifiable proof that load actually dropped. This is the oracle problem applied to energy.
Joule Credits are the on-chain settlement rails for it: a real OpenADR event, a physical wattage measurement, decentralized oracle verification of that feed, and a Proof-of-Reserve ceiling so token supply can never exceed the kWh attested — every mint carrying an immutable audit trail (event ID, request ID, tx hash).
Settlement-grade trust requires the measurement to come from a source the counterparty trusts — a utility-grade meter and a grid operator's dispatch, not one party's self-report. The rails are built; anchoring them to trusted metering and a real off-taker is what turns a verified kWh into a settled one.
