Fuse Pool (not associated with Fuse Energy)

A demo showcasing a "Pool" feature simulation for Fuse Energy — neighbors pool $ENERGY rewards and earn together in perpetuity.

Built with Next.js + Privy authentication. All pool data is mocked (localStorage).

Quick Start

npm install
npm run dev

Set NEXT_PUBLIC_PRIVY_APP_ID in .env.local.

How It Works

Pool Rewards & Distribution

Households earn $ENERGY individually
            │
      pool 10% each
            │
    ┌───────┴───────┐
    │  WATERFALL    │
    │ (founder 5%)  │
    └───────┬───────┘
            │
    ┌───────┴───────┐
    │    SPLIT      │
    │ (equal share) │
    └───────────────┘

1. Create a Pool — Founder deploys a pool, earns 5% founder bonus on all distributions
2. Invite Neighbors — Share link via WhatsApp/SMS/copy
3. Join the Pool — Neighbors sign in with email, automatically added
4. Earn Together — 10% of each member's $ENERGY flows to pool

Distribution math:

• Pool receives $100 from weekly member contributions
• Founder bonus (5%): $5 to founder
• Residual ($95) split equally among all members (including founder)
• With 5 members: each gets $19 from split + founder gets extra $5

Simulate Distribution

The dashboard has a "Simulate distribution" button that:

1. Generates a random weekly pool amount (50-150 $ENERGY)
2. Calculates founder bonus (5%)
3. Splits remainder equally among all members
4. Updates pool balance, member shares, and distribution history
5. Plays an animation showing the waterfall flow

Growth Forecast

The forecast card shows how earnings scale with more neighbors:

Neighbors	Weekly Pool	Your Share
Current (4)	~60 $ENERGY	~15 $ENERGY
+2 neighbors	~90 $ENERGY	~18 $ENERGY
+5 neighbors	~135 $ENERGY	~20 $ENERGY

Formula:

• Weekly pool = members × 15 $ENERGY (avg contribution)
• Your share = (pool × 0.95) / members + (founder bonus if applicable)

The forecast demonstrates the network effect: more neighbors = larger pool = higher absolute earnings (even as % share decreases).

Network Discovery

The /network page simulates discovering nearby Fuse households via Bluetooth radar scan.

How It Could Work in Production

Inspired by bitchat mesh networking:

Layer 1: Bluetooth (Immediate Proximity)

• Range: ~10-100m
• Fuse app uses BLE to broadcast/scan for other Fuse users
• Works offline, no internet required
• Use case: same building, immediate neighbors

Layer 2: Mesh Relay (Extended Local)

• Range: ~500m-1km
• Devices relay discovery pings between each other
• Messages "hop" through neighbors' phones
• Still works without internet

Layer 3: Internet + Location Channels (Wide Area)

• For neighborhood/city/region scale
• Hierarchical location channels (block → neighborhood → city → region)
• Only share coarse geohash, not exact address
• Optional Tor routing for privacy

#location channels

node         (Bluetooth, ~10-50m)
block        (4 people, ~0.1km)
neighborhood (8 people, ~1.2km)
city         (24 people, ~4.9km)
region       (18 people, ~39.2km)

For Fuse:

• Every household has a smart meter + the Fuse app
• Meters could act as BLE beacons
• App discovers nearby households → invite to pool or join existing

Business Model

For Fuse Energy

Benefit	Impact
Viral growth	Existing users recruit neighbors (network effect)
Denser networks	More devices in proximity = better grid flexibility
Higher retention	Leaving Fuse = leaving your Pool & neighbors
Community moat	Social bonds > price competition

For Users

Benefit	vs Current
Ongoing rewards	vs one-time £150 referral spin
Skin in the game	Pool performance tied to neighborhood
Transparent splits	See exactly who earns what

Revenue Mechanics

Fuse makes money on the underlying energy flexibility (shifting usage to off-peak). Pools increase:

1. User acquisition cost efficiency — users recruit each other
2. Retention — social lock-in
3. Flexibility density — more devices per area = better grid response = higher wholesale value captured

Demo Flow

1. Create Pool — Sign in with email, name your pool, get invite link
2. Invite Neighbors — Share link (pre-populated with dummy members for demo)
3. View Dashboard — Pool balance, split visualization, member list
4. Simulate Distribution — Click button to see $ENERGY flow through waterfall
5. Network Discovery — Scan for nearby houses (mocked radar)

Future Enhancements

• Real Splits contracts on Base for onchain distributions
• Fuse API integration for actual $ENERGY balances
• Push notifications for distributions
• Pool leaderboards (neighborhood, city)
• Mesh network discovery (Bluetooth + internet hybrid)
