Oil & Gas on PYRAX

Oil and gas remains the largest energy sector by revenue, but its trading, custody transfers, and emissions reporting run on paper confirmations and self-declared figures that regulators increasingly distrust. PYRAX settles physical and financial trades with on-chain escrow and instant finality, attests custody transfers and flare data from field sensors, and gives auditors eth_getProof access to tamper-proof methane and Scope-1 emissions records.

What's broken today

Physical trades settle on paper confirmations with days of counterparty and delivery risk.

Custody transfers and volumes are reconciled manually across trader, transporter, and buyer systems.

Methane and flare emissions are self-reported and impossible for regulators to independently verify.

Trading positions leak to the market through intermediaries and disclosure delays.

How PYRAX transforms it

Concrete network elements mapped to this business.

On-chain escrow and settlement

Cargoes and financial legs settle atomically against attested delivery documents, so payment and title transfer together and letters of credit clear without multi-day float.

IoT field-sensor attestation

Custody meters, flare stacks, and methane sensors sign their readings on-chain, so volumes and emissions come from authenticated hardware rather than manual logs.

eth_getProof verifiable emissions data

Regulators and buyers pull tamper-proof proofs of methane intensity and Scope-1 emissions, supporting differentiated 'responsibly-sourced gas' premiums.

Shielded transfers with viewing keys

Traders keep positions and counterparties confidential from the market while compliance desks and regulators inspect flows through scoped viewing keys.

BLS instant finality

Commodity and derivative settlements finalize irreversibly within a block, removing intraday exposure between trading counterparties on the rail.
