The Watt — Carbon-aware routing
The scheduler treats grid carbon intensity as a first-class routing input, sending each job to the cleanest node that meets your latency budget.
Carbon-aware routing
Grid carbon intensity varies by hour and location by roughly an order of magnitude — the same job run elsewhere or later can be far cleaner. Given a job and its latency budget, the Watt picks a route by strategy:
- greenest — lowest gCO₂/kWh at that hour
- fastest — lowest latency
- cheapest — lowest cost per token
Routing runs with circuit breakers and failover, so a bad node never strands a request.
Metering & CarbonScore
Every completed job is metered — energy drawn (kWh) and estimated gCO₂ — and stamped with a CarbonScore that flows into its Green Compute Certificate. Accounting is hourly and serialized so emissions can never be double-counted.
Grid-timed scheduling
Non-urgent batch work can be deferred to the greenest hours of the day automatically — cutting both cost and carbon without you managing a schedule.
Renewable verification
Nodes attest their energy source (solar / wind / hydro) through the solar connector, which reports live source, grid intensity, and mints the hourly Energy Attribute Certificates behind each job. A cleaner mix earns a higher ranking and reward multiplier.
