About
The Trust Anchor Network
A decentralized, open-source verification system for energy data that operates independently of blockchain. It uses distributed sensor networks and multiple verification methods (beyond blockchain) along with physical audits to build trust in energy origin and characteristics. Think of it like a return to verifiable, physical inspections with digital backup.
