Project Origin - Digital Proofs for Granular Certificates
summary
Project Origin builds an open source blockchain foundation that issues stateful, verifiable granular electricity certificates using Merkle proofs and Pedersen commitments to prevent double claims while keeping raw metering data off‑chain. The system bundles millions of 15‑minute readings into Merkle trees to scale across multiple registries and TSOs, supports 15‑minute certificates, and runs as a registry prototype in Denmark interoperating with Energy Origin and Energy Track and Trace. Code is on GitHub; continental rollout is still a work in progress.
