System Components

The following section contains the summary of the core system components and their responsibilities.

• Device - physical or virtual sensors/meters that generate measurements and expose local APIs.
• Gateway - facility-level IoT hub: validates, aggregates, and forwards measurements; enforces local policies and executes actions.
• Worker - DePIN node: batches measurements, hashes leaves, builds Merkle trees, signs payloads and submits proofs to chain; stores raw data for challenges.
• Smart Contracts - on-chain modules: store proofs, manage Device NFTs, subscriptions (PowerPass), staking and access control.
• Owner / Device NFT - on-chain identity and ownership record; used for authorization and transfer of device rights.
• AIMAS - AI multi‑agent layer that consumes verified telemetry and requests/control actions via Gateways; relies on Worker proofs for auditability.
