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

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 Interplay of Memory, Fiction, and Empowerment in ‘The Hidden Truth’
Healing often begins in the smallest moments—a pause, a decision, a refusal to stay silent. Hilda Soto’s The Hidden Truth sustains this theme throughout the semi-autobiographical novel. The narrative centers on Eva, a woman navigating adulthood while processing the hidden betrayals and long-kept secrets of her family. What stands out is not simply the story of Eva’s life, but the way the book brings together lived experience, crafted narrative, and an underlying drive to empower.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 16th Dec 2025 – Soto’s prose is direct and unadorned, yet it carries emotional precision. Eva’s courage is demonstrated through her actions rather than stated directly. She protects herself in subtle ways—refusing to leave a hostile workplace, returning to school in her thirties, managing her finances to maintain control over her future. These choices, small in isolation, accumulate into a portrait of quiet but undeniable strength. Through this lens, memory and storytelling merge: the narrative feels real, but the crafted structure guides readers to the emotional truth behind the events.

The book also explores the lingering effects of betrayal and abuse, not as abstract ideas, but through the textures of everyday life. Trust, fear, and self-protection emerge in moments that many readers will recognize: carefully weighing words before speaking, measuring risks before taking a step, guarding money as a tool for independence. Even the revelation of her father’s hidden betrayals—long-kept secrets that explain much of her suffering—serves less as a dramatic climax than as a lens for reflection. Soto allows readers to inhabit Eva’s interior world, showing how confronting the past is as much about careful thought and deliberate action as it is about raw emotion.
Love and healing are treated with the same grounded realism. Eva’s relationship with Sam grows quietly, built on simple gestures: conversations during long drives, shared meals, thoughtful attention. These details communicate tenderness and trust more convincingly than any declarative statement could. Through this relationship, Soto illustrates that empowerment is not only the ability to survive, but also the capacity to accept support and build a life free from fear.
The book’s semi-autobiographical framing adds depth. Soto occasionally addresses the reader directly, acknowledging that parts of the story are drawn from her life and that writing became a way to process experiences that were otherwise too painful to hold silently. These moments blur the line between memoir and fiction, emphasizing how storytelling itself can be an act of empowerment, turning trauma into insight.
The Hidden Truth demonstrates that empowerment is not an abstract concept but a process embedded in everyday choices. Through a careful blend of lived memory, narrative structure, and emotional honesty, Soto shows that survival and growth are made concrete in small, deliberate acts. The text prioritizes emotional texture over broad scope, a choice that makes Eva’s personal victory feel deeply earned and intensely intimate. Readers emerge with an understanding not only of Eva’s tenacity, but also of the power of storytelling itself: a life recounted with care becomes both testimony and guide.
Hilda Soto’s The Hidden Truth is available for purchase on Amazon and through other major book retailers.
