Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment registers a node and a data object on a blockchain. The embodiment schedules by a Scheduler an object task associated with the data object in a Data Controller, generating a task execution token by the Data Controller on the blockchain where the task execution token is associated with the object task. The embodiment senses the task execution token by the node received from the Data Controller; responsive to the sensed task execution token executes the object task on the node and generating a node energy consumption metric and an energy consumption token of the object task on the blockchain. The embodiment also sends the energy consumption token to the Data Controller from the node causing a smart contract to compute a task energy consumption metric based on the node energy consumption metric where the data object on the blockchain is updated with the task energy consumption metric.
