// Briefing

A community energy co-op settles its trades on a ledger nobody in the co-op could read. The block explorers that exist are built for traders — address soup and gas charts — not for someone asking whether their street exported power yesterday.

GRID_RUNNER reads the same chain and draws the grid instead: nodes are meters, edges are settled flows, and a day of trading is a D3 animation over the actual network topology. The ledger stays the source of truth; it just stops looking like one.

// Highlights

  • — Chain state as a live grid map
  • — Plain-language settlement views
  • — 4k meters on one canvas
