What can be said without measuring
EmpoorioChain has no mining. Blocks are authored by Aura (round-robin among known validators) and finalized by GRANDPA (votes). Energy use is therefore the sum of the validators' server power plus RPC and monitoring — bounded by the number of nodes, not by any competitive computation. Today that is two validator/RPC servers in one data centre, plus one server for Ailoos and cloud services for the apps.
This is the same structural argument every proof-of-stake network makes, and it is correct as far as it goes.
What has not been done
No measurement. No power draw recorded per server, no PUE from the hosting provider, no per-transaction figure. The ecosystem's rule — every figure carries its proof or comes off — means no energy number appears anywhere in its documentation, and none will appear here.
The website this replaces published energy-use reports with per-transaction figures, comparisons to household appliances, and a carbon-neutrality claim. All of it was another network's, renamed. It was removed.
What a real-time measurement would take
- Per-server power: the hosting provider's metered draw or a rack PDU reading, exported to Prometheus alongside the node metrics already collected on port 9615.
- Attribution: divide by transactions, blocks or finalized state per era — and publish the denominator, since a two-validator testnet with a handful of daily transactions produces an absurd per-transaction figure that means nothing.
- Provider PUE for the data centre, from the provider, not estimated.
- Off-chain services — Ailoos inference and training, app backends — counted separately: the AI network's energy is real and is not the chain's.
- Publication as a dated artefact under
artifacts/, like performance and fees.
None of this is hard. It has not been prioritised over weights, audits and a faucet, and this page says so rather than filling the gap with a claim.
Where energy is real in the ecosystem
OmilooS reads solar inverters over Modbus and reports generation into pallet-solar-generation; pallet-energy-market and pallet-carbon-credits sit downstream. That is the ecosystem's genuine energy story — measured production from real devices — and it is in internal testing with no attested reading on the public testnet yet.
Carbon neutrality
Not claimed. Offsetting an unmeasured footprint is a purchase, not a measurement.
Based on CONSENSUS_STATUS.md, DECENTRALIZATION_REPORT.md and the ecosystem's documentation rule on figures.
