Data Flow and Smart Contract Interactions

1. Energy Data Collection:

   • EdmondX devices collect energy production data, sign it, and transmit it to the libp2p network.

2. Network Propagation:

   • The libp2p network propagates energy data and signed transactions to other nodes.

   • The ICP Canister ensures only trusted devices participate.

3. Smart Contract Processing:

   • Investment Management:

     • Investors commit funds via the Application Layer, triggering the Investment Management Contract.

     • The contract verifies energy data from the libp2p network to release funds and distribute repayments.

   • Carbon Credit Issuance:

     • The Data Aggregation Service processes energy data and submits CO2 reduction calculations to the Carbon Credit Issuance Contract.

     • The contract verifies reductions, mints carbon credits, and stores records on Arweave.

   • Carbon Credit Trading:

     • Users list carbon credits for sale via the Application Layer, interacting with the Carbon Credit Trading Contract.

     • The contract executes trades, transfers tokens, and updates ownership on the blockchain.

4. Permanent Storage:

   • Transaction records, energy data, and carbon credit issuances are stored on Arweave, with hashes recorded on the blockchain.

5. User Interaction:

   • Investors and solar companies access dashboards to monitor investments, energy data, and carbon credits, interacting with smart contracts via the API Gateway.
