1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a self-executing contract, settlement information from at least two nodes in a network, the network comprising a plurality of nodes, each node in the plurality of nodes maintaining at least a predetermined number of tokens, each token representing an energy value, wherein the energy values of the tokens of the at least two nodes are represented in the self-executing contract;
validating a current state of a public ledger;
generating fulfillment information based on the received settlement information; and
contributing to an updated state of the public ledger using the fulfillment information.
