Each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of renewable energy generated mints Benny, anchoring digital currency to measurable physical output. *** ### **Purpose** This mechanism ensures Benny is backed by tangible value. By linking emissions to solar power, the system creates a direct bridge between digital wealth and energy independence. *** ### **Distribution** * **Rate:** A fixed amount of Benny is minted per kilowatt-hour of verified solar output. * **Revenue:** In addition to minting Benny, solar infrastructure generates fiat revenue, which is routed to the Treasury and Staking Vault. * **Verification:** Output is tracked and verified through on-chain oracles and energy reporting systems. *** ### **Integration with Supply** Solar emissions fall under the 20 million Benny hard cap. As the cap is approached, the amount of energy required to mint each Benny increases, preserving scarcity and ensuring sustainability. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
