REVO connects the world’s computers into one verified, community-governed network. Every contributor earns. Clean energy is incentivized further.
Being Developed in a Faculty-Supervised Directed Study at Florida State University · Fall 2026 · Patent Pending
AI and research need enormous computing power. The bottleneck isn’t chips anymore. It’s electricity.
Electricity used by data centers in 2024, about 1.5% of the world’s total. Projected to more than double by 2030.
2,000+GWU.S. projects waiting in line for a grid connection. The typical wait is more than five years, and most never get built.
Huge amounts of computing power already sit plugged in and underused: in labs, universities, offices and homes.
How do you know a stranger’s computer did the work right, on clean power? That’s what the study is about.
What if that existing capacity could be connected, trusted and pointed at the work that matters most?

Drawn as part of the study, with every open question named honestly.
Researchers, institutions, the public
The people who need computing done: researchers, institutions and the public. They hand REVO a job, like a batch of medical scans to analyze.
How would a hospital or a lab actually use REVO?
From a simple web portal to automated connections, and who pays for what.
Answered in week 8 of the studyRoutes each job to the right machines
REVO’s dispatcher. It checks the job, splits it into pieces and decides which machines should run them.
Machines that already exist
The machines that do the work: computers that already exist and have time to spare.
Who else is doing this, and where can REVO be different?
A close look at existing decentralized computing networks.
Answered in week 7 of the studyREVO’s clean-energy score
Scores how clean each machine’s power is, so cleaner machines get more of the work and more of the reward.
How do you verify clean energy, and stop people faking it?
The design of REVO’s clean-energy score, VerdantScore.
Answered in weeks 9–10 of the studyChecks the work itself
Checks that the work came back right before anyone is rewarded.
How do you prove a computer did the work, without redoing it?
REVO’s verification system, designed in full.
Answered in weeks 5–6 of the studyKeeps the records
Where the records and results are kept.
Rewards verified work, more on clean power
Works out what each contributor earned for verified work, with more for clean power.
How do you make honesty the profitable choice, and stay on the right side of the law?
Incentives, governance and regulation.
Answered in weeks 11–12 of the studyThe shared record
The shared record everyone can trust: who did what, and what they earned.
Which blockchain should REVO use?
Build on an existing network, or run its own? Weighing cost, security and independence.

The provisional patent specification reflects the study’s most recent findings as of October 10, 2026.

And many more still open, for example:
Every one of them is worked through in the study.
A 15-week directed study I designed (LIS 4905, Florida State University, August 24 – December 4, 2026). It’s faculty-supervised, with monthly design reviews that each open with an oral exam: I explain the material unaided.
The technical architecture an engineering team could build from.
It passes three tests:
A cancer research lab runs its imaging model on thousands of scans overnight, without a cloud bill.
A climate group runs fresh forecasts every day.
A small nonprofit preserving an endangered language works at a scale once reserved for big tech.
All of it on machines that already exist, with proof that every result was done right, and every contributor rewarded more for running on clean power.
Computing power as a shared, verified, clean public resource.
