The importance of sustainability: Why eco-friendly blockchains are the future

Published

on

As more and more decentralized applications (DApps), such as GameFi, DeFi, NFTs, and more, are being developed, heated discussions about the environmental impact of blockchain and cryptocurrency have reignited once more. Especially after China’s crackdown on cryptocurrency mining activities, public debates about blockchain and crypto-related energy consumption rates have reached a climax.

Proof of Work’s environmental impact

Since the birth of Bitcoin, the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism has always been fundamental to the security of blockchain networks. This consensus is reached through computing power, commonly referred to as hash rate.

Over time as blockchain technology is being adopted by the world, the energy consumption rate of the entire blockchain network has skyrocketed, leading to significant environmental costs. The University of Cambridge estimates that Bitcoin mining consumes about 130 TWh per year, accounting for about 0.1% of the world’s total primary energy consumption.

As far as DApp development is concerned, energy consumption-related environmental issues are mostly derived from Ethereum mining, since Ethereum is a PoW blockchain with the largest ecosystem full of projects in varying sizes. With the recent London hard fork, the transition to Ethereum 2.0-a complete Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain, will be completed as early as 2022. As a result, the current energy consumption per transaction on Ethereum is about 35 kWh, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of a single person in developing countries for 3 days.

The true cost of DApp transactions

While mass crypto adoption is happening around the world, DApps and their applicability will eventually catch up. New projects such as wealth management applications, lending platforms, decentralized exchanges (DEX), NFT-inspired metaverses, and more, that are gradually taking over social media and our lives are the ultimate proof. If you have been paying attention to what’s happening around you, the crypto community’s passion and loyalty towards decentralized, immutable technology are clearly reflected in the real world.

That is certainly good news for crypto enthusiasts, but for the environment, it’s an entirely different story. Take NFTs for example. Memo Atken, a digital artist and engineer, estimates that the true cost of an NFT is much higher than a typical energy consumption of a transaction on Ethereum (35 kWh). He believes that NFT-related transactions will cost much more because all NFTs have to be minted and exchanged multiple times on the blockchain.

He is certainly correct. In fact, an NFT’s creation and distribution do not only consist of a simple mint and sale process. There will be many subsequent transactions made by collectors and traders, which makes the average carbon footprint of each NFT close to 340kWh (an average of 211 kg of CO2), equivalent to a single person’s energy consumption in a developed country for more than a month.

Why eco-friendly blockchains are favored by developers

In early 2021, several public blockchains underwent considerable ecosystem expansion, such as ThunderCore, Solana, Polkadot, and Binance Smart Chain. These blockchains’ ecosystems are in full bloom, as decentralized projects like DAOs, Oracles, Token Bridges, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, blockchain games, and more, are being deployed consistently. There are many reasons for the expansion of these networks, but one thing they all have in common is that none of them utilize a PoW consensus mechanism (meaning zero physical mining facilities are used). Instead, novel mechanisms, such as PoS, that allow on-chain staking and other models to replace PoW are applied.

Among them, the ThunderCore blockchain uses the state-of-the-art PoS consensus mechanism, PaLa, which not only solves the “scalability trilemma”, but also supports the chain’s entire ecosystem with cheap renewable energy. ThunderCore is an eco-friendly public blockchain, and its CO2 emissions, resulting from on-chain transactions, are reduced by more than 10,000x. For example, its block creation does not require the support of large amounts of energy resources like Bitcoin and Ethereum do. ThunderCore is also EVM compatible, which allows the rapid migration and deployment of Ethereum projects. With low gas fees (<$0.00001), sub-second confirmations, and 4,000+ TPS, ThunderCore has become a platform favored by developers from the world over.

The Bougees Expands Premium Leather Collection with Focus on Handcrafted Quality and Modern Design

Published

on

The Bougees has expanded its premium leather apparel collection with a renewed focus on handcrafted quality, authentic materials, and modern design aesthetics. The update includes refined leather pants, shirts, jackets, and outerwear crafted from 100% genuine sheep or lamb leather, addressing growing consumer demand for durable, versatile wardrobe pieces that transition seamlessly across casual and professional settings.

Queens, NY, United States, 5th Feb 2026 – The Bougees announces an updated leather apparel range featuring 100% genuine sheep and lamb leather, handcrafted construction, and contemporary silhouettes designed for versatile, long-term wear.

Commitment to Authentic Materials and Craftsmanship

The collection emphasizes material transparency and construction quality. Each piece uses 100% genuine sheep or lamb leather, selected for its refined drape, lighter weight, and natural movement compared to heavier hides. This material choice supports both comfort and durability, allowing garments to develop character over time while maintaining their structural integrity.

Handcrafted construction remains central to The Bougees’ production approach. Clean seams, reinforced stitching, and carefully placed panels ensure garments maintain tailored profiles and integrate smoothly with existing wardrobe staples. The brand blends traditional leather-working techniques with contemporary silhouettes, including biker-inspired elements that add edge without overwhelming modern aesthetics.

“Our goal is to provide customers with leather apparel that elevates everyday outfits through superior materials and thoughtful construction,” said a company representative. “We’re focused on pieces that work across multiple occasions and deliver long-term value.”

Modern Design for Versatile Wardrobes

The updated collection addresses practical styling needs while maintaining premium finishes. Key pieces include the 501 Style Leather Pant, designed with a streamlined silhouette that pairs with both fitted and relaxed tops, and the Carissa Women’s Black Belted 3/4 Long Leather Coat, which adds structure and definition when layered over leather separates or other garments.

Design principles emphasize balance, proportion, and color coordination. The collection features classic black options alongside neutrals such as brown, tan, and deep charcoal, allowing for monochrome looks or controlled contrast. Finishes range from matte to subtle sheen, providing options for different settings and personal preferences.

The brand’s approach prioritizes fit and mobility. Leather pants feature appropriate rise and leg room to ensure comfortable movement, while shirts are constructed with attention to shoulder alignment and sleeve length. This focus on proper fit addresses common concerns about leather apparel comfort and wearability.

Expanding Product Range and Customer Support

The Bougees currently offers Men’s Leather Jackets, Men’s Leather Pants, Women’s Leather Shirts and Jackets, Women’s Leather Trousers, and Leather Chaps. This comprehensive range allows customers to build coordinated outfits with consistent quality standards and complementary design elements.

The brand provides detailed product information to address authenticity concerns and sizing questions, recognizing that informed purchasing decisions lead to greater customer satisfaction and garment longevity. Care guidelines accompany each piece, covering proper storage, cleaning, and conditioning to maintain leather’s appearance and performance over time.

Brand Philosophy: Redefining Fashion Excellence

The Bougees positions itself around the concept of “Redefining Fashion Excellence” through a combination of premium materials, skilled craftsmanship, and timeless design. The brand aims to offer leather apparel that looks elevated with minimal styling while developing unique character through regular wear.

This philosophy extends to construction durability and aesthetic longevity. Rather than following seasonal trends, The Bougees focuses on silhouettes and finishes that remain current across multiple years, supporting sustainable wardrobe building and reducing the need for frequent replacement.

Availability and Purchase Information

The expanded collection is available now at thebougees.com. Customers can explore the full range of leather pants, shirts, jackets, and outerwear, with detailed sizing information and material specifications provided for each item.

For buyers seeking premium leather apparel for modern wardrobes and long-term wear, The Bougees offers handcrafted pieces that balance traditional quality with contemporary styling. The collection supports versatile outfit-building for casual, professional, and evening occasions.
