The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Experiments under publicly constrained workloads show that the framework significantly reduces on-chain execution and storage cost while preserving audit trustworthiness.

C2weakest assumption

That deterministic digests and replayable auditing of off-chain records will maintain full consistency and verifiability under real-world conditions beyond the constrained experimental workloads described.

C3one line summary

A hybrid blockchain framework anchors settlement commitments on-chain and links off-chain records via deterministic digests to cut execution and storage costs while keeping auditability for energy and carbon trading.
