A multi-stream revenue model anchored in real deployment.
CryptEco's economics are built on a stacked revenue model — five durable streams per node — funded by a mix of non-dilutive grants, RNG/RIN program revenue, and patient capital. Node Zero is the proof point.
Five streams per node, intentionally diversified.
Each Auric™ node generates revenue from waste it receives, energy it produces, gas it pipelines, environmental attributes it earns, and food it grows. No single program is load-bearing.
Tipping fees
Paid by regional partners to deliver organic waste streams (dairy, food-processing, ag residue) to the Pulse™ intake.
Electricity sales
ExerGen™ output sold grid-parallel under interconnection agreement or used on-site to offset farm load.
RNG & RIN credits
Upgraded biogas placed into the natural gas pipeline qualifies for federal RFS RINs and California LCFS credits depending on offtake routing.
Carbon credits
Methane avoidance and energy displacement claims through registry-quality carbon offset programs.
Food & protein
Greens, herbs, and aquaponic fish from the EGrow Labs greenhouse loop, sold into regional food channels.
Grant programs targeted across deployment and R&D.
CryptEco's grant strategy stacks federal program funding across rural energy, small-business research, and renewable gas — paired with state-level energy and agricultural matching where available.
| Program | Agency | Use of funds | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| REAP — Rural Energy for America Program | USDA | Node deployment capex match | Targeting FY26 |
| SBIR Phase I | USDA / DOE | Aurixen OS™ & Auric DT™ R&D | In preparation |
| SBIR Phase II | USDA / DOE | Auric AI™ controller, multi-node fleet | Phase I gated |
| USDA RNG / Biogas grants | USDA | RNG upgrading + pipeline interconnect | Tracking |
| BIRD Energy | DOE / BIRD | International co-engineering partnerships | Tracking |
| State energy & ag matching | KY / MN | Site infrastructure, workforce | As available |
Patient capital, non-dilutive grants, and program revenue.
Equipment for Node Zero is owned by parent Leovara Management LLC and leased to CryptEco under an intercompany operating lease. This separates physical asset ownership from operating company exposure and creates a clean financing structure for both sides.
Subsequent nodes are modeled to be built into project-finance SPVs, with CryptEco retaining the platform license (Aurixen OS, Auric AI, Auric DT) and a long-term O&M role.

The reference economics for one Auric C5-A-50 node.
The figures below are the planning envelope CryptEco is using to underwrite Node Zero. Actuals will be reported quarterly to capital partners through Auric DT.
| Line item | Type | Planning envelope |
|---|---|---|
| Tipping fees | Revenue | Region-dependent |
| Electricity sales (50 kWe) | Revenue | ~365 MWh/yr potential |
| RNG / RIN credits (if upgraded path) | Revenue | ~100k MMBtu-equiv./yr potential |
| Carbon offsets (methane avoidance) | Revenue | Registry-dependent |
| Greens / aquaponic protein | Revenue | Regional offtake |
| Operating cost — labor (single operator, fleet-shared) | OpEx | Modeled at 1 / fleet |
| Operating cost — feedstock logistics | OpEx | Sourced < 30 mi radius |
| Equipment — owned by Leovara™, leased to CryptEco | Structure | Intercompany lease |
Note. The figures above are planning envelopes, not pro-forma projections. Detailed economics for capital partners are shared under NDA and modeled inside Auric DT.
