EZ Grid Protocol v2.0

IANA Provisional Registration #1454153

Standard for Power + Compute + Speed. Evolved from nug8 Protocol Experiments 2024.

1. Abstract

EZ Grid Protocol defines a unified communication layer for decentralized power distribution, compute allocation, and data routing. The protocol uses ez:// URI scheme and ABNF syntax for machine-readable specifications.

2. Protocol Overview

Five Forces: Power, Compute, Speed, Trust, Access

The protocol enables:

Power: Energy state negotiation between nodes
Compute: Distributed task allocation
Speed: Low-latency message routing
Trust: Cryptographic identity verification
Access: Permission and resource control

3. ABNF Syntax v2.0

Full ABNF spec available on request. Core grammar shown below:

EZ-URI      = "ez://" authority [ "/" path ] [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
authority   = node-id "@" domain
node-id     = 1*16ALPHA
domain      = 1*63ALPHA *("." 1*63ALPHA)
path        = segment *("/" segment)
segment     = 1*32ALPHA
query       = force *( "&" force )
force       = "power=" value / "compute=" value / "speed=" value 
            / "trust=" value / "access=" value
value       = 1*DIGIT

4. Example URI

ez://nodeA7@grid.ezgrid.org/compute/task?power=100&compute=85&speed=92&trust=1&access=read

5. Status & Access

Protocol v2.0 is in provisional registration. Full ABNF specification, reference implementation, and test vectors releasing Q2 2026.
