A hub makes its own electricity, stores it, and spends it on site. Solar above, batteries on the bank, machines in between.

- 04RefreshHardware changes; the energy asset remains.
What those machines compute is flexible by design. Proof-of-work hashing is the launch revenue bridge: it monetises the hub from the day it energises. As the hardware refreshes, the fleet can move toward AI inference, training and high-performance computing — the platform’s destination workload.
That is the design, not indecision. The hardware changes; the ground beneath it does not. Panels and batteries last twenty-five years; the machines last three to five. Every refresh is a fresh decision, taken with the expensive part already paid for.
Every megawatt that a digital infrastructure operator buys from a grid is a megawatt whose price someone else controls.
