Node Zero · Mason County, KY · Online 2026

Waste-to-energy-to-food, engineered as one system.

CryptEco builds and deploys the Auric™ platform — an integrated anaerobic digester, combined heat and power unit, and controlled environment agriculture stack, orchestrated by a single operating system. We turn agricultural waste into electricity, renewable natural gas, captured CO₂, and food.

We call this category Aurigen™ (pronounced “origin”) — from Auri (gold) + Gen (genesis). The Golden Beginning of singularity exergy infrastructure that converts every waste stream into income and utilization. The Auric Standard.

We engineer the cryptic economy of agriculture — the hidden value buried in manure, food waste, heat, CO2, and runoff. Aurigen™ is the infrastructure; the cryptic economy is the market it unlocks. Read the thesis →

Platform schematic

One operating system. Three physical subsystems. One closed loop.

Organic waste enters Auric Pulse™ and becomes biogas. ExerGen™ converts that biogas into electricity, recovered heat, and captured CO₂. Aurixen OS™ orchestrates every flow — and routes byproducts back into the greenhouse, the grid, and the renewable natural gas pipeline.

Why CryptEco

A single platform, not a stack of separately-procured equipment.

Most distributed bioenergy projects buy a digester from one vendor, a CHP from another, and stitch them together with a control panel. We design, integrate, and operate the whole loop ourselves.

01

Integrated by design

Pulse™, ExerGen, the greenhouse, and Aurixen OS were designed against each other from day one. No bolt-on integrations, no protocol gaps, no orphaned subsystems.

02

Multi-stream revenue

Each node stacks electricity sales, RNG/RIN credits, carbon credits, tipping fees, and on-site food production. Diversified revenue reduces single-program exposure.

03

Built to be operated remotely

Aurixen OS exposes a unified data model across every node. Auric DT™ mirrors physical state in real time so operations can scale across geographies without scaling headcount.

04

Anchored in real deployment

Node Zero in Mason County, Kentucky is a working farm — not a render. Every spec on this site is benchmarked against equipment we are commissioning.

Node Zero · Kentucky

Active deployment in Mason County.

Our first integrated Auric node is sited on a working livestock and cropland property in Mason County, Kentucky, operated by sister entity Leovara Estates LLC. The site combines agricultural feedstock, on-site CHP, an aquaponic greenhouse, and a planned RNG offtake.

Node Zero is the reference deployment for the Auric C5-A-50 configuration — a 50 kWe nameplate ExerGen paired with a Pulse digester sized for the property's organic waste throughput, plumbed into an EGrow Labs greenhouse loop.
