EnrgiX's consensus mechanism, built on the high-performance Solana blockchain, implements a three-tiered progressive architecture, leveraging Solana's high TPS and low latency to achieve real-time data integration and reward distribution for energy devices.
The Base Layer Proof of Connectivity (PoCn) employs an enhanced heartbeat detection algorithm, performing device status verification every 10 seconds. Device status data is batch submitted through Solana, with smart contracts automatically calculating device uptime and stability metrics. The base layer generates 2.4 million PoCn verification records daily, providing reliable data support for device contribution assessment. The base reward pool accounts for 30% of total rewards, distributed dynamically based on device online rate and network contribution.
The Middle Layer Proof of Capacity (PoC) evaluates actual energy supply capabilities. Through a compound scoring system deployed via Solana smart contracts, multiple dimensions of data including device specifications, historical performance, and load capacity are integrated into Capacity Scores (CS). Capacity scores are updated hourly and participate in reward distribution in weighted form. The middle layer reward pool accounts for 45%, focusing on incentivizing high-quality energy supply behavior. Specifically:
Base capacity score: 40%
Stability metrics: 30%
Response speed: 30%
The Advanced Layer Proof of Response (PoR) is designed for energy peak-shaving contributions, representing the system's most innovative consensus mechanism. Based on Solana smart contracts, it enables millisecond-level energy dispatch instruction distribution with real-time on-chain data integration. The PoR scoring system includes:
Response timeliness (35% weight)
Regulation precision (35% weight)
Sustained capability (30% weight) The advanced layer reward pool accounts for 25%, mainly incentivizing participants with outstanding contributions to grid stabilization.
Rewards are distributed using the Solana SPL Token standard, with automatic settlement every 24 hours through smart contracts. The system reserves 10% of the reward pool for adjustments, ensuring long-term sustainability of the incentive mechanism. The staking penalty mechanism is also executed through smart contracts, implementing graduated penalties from reduced earnings to stake lockup for malicious behavior.
Current reward calculation formula:
R = α * PoCn + β * PoC + γ * PoR Where: R represents total reward, α is the base layer coefficient (0.3), β is the middle layer coefficient (0.45), and γ is the advanced layer coefficient (0.25).
Through this Solana-based three-layer consensus mechanism, EnrgiX achieves efficient operation of decentralized energy networks, ensuring both network security and maximizing participant returns. Transaction costs per verification cycle are less than 1% of traditional centralized solutions, demonstrating blockchain technology's revolutionary advantages in the energy sector.
