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.

All Thingz Electric Expands EV Charger Installation Services Across South Orange County to Meet Growing Demand

Published

on

Aliso Viejo, California, United States, 25th Jul 2026 – All Thingz Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving residential and commercial clients throughout Orange County, today announced the expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) charger installation services to meet surging demand across South Orange County communities. As EV adoption accelerates throughout the region, All Thingz Electric is positioning itself as the go-to resource for homeowners navigating the transition to home charging.

Orange County’s EV Surge

California leads the nation in EV adoption, and Orange County communities, particularly Aliso ViejoMission ViejoIrvine, and Laguna Niguel, have seen significant growth in electric vehicle registrations over the past two years. With that growth comes increased demand for Level 2 home charging solutions, which can charge most EVs overnight and are far more efficient than standard 120V outlets.

“We’re getting more calls about EV chargers than almost anything else right now,” said Anthony Feeney, founder and certified journeyman electrician at All Thingz Electric. “A lot of homeowners buy an EV and assume the outlet in the garage will work fine, and it does, slowly. But once they understand what a dedicated Level 2 charger can do, they want it installed right away. It changes how convenient owning an EV actually is.”

What the Installation Involves

A Level 2 EV charger installation typically involves running a dedicated 240V circuit from the electrical panel to the garage or charging location. In some cases, particularly in older homes, a panel upgrade may be required first to accommodate the added load. All Thingz Electric’s technicians evaluate each home’s existing infrastructure before beginning any work, ensuring the right solution is specified the first time. An electrical inspection and code compliance check is included to ensure the installation meets all local requirements.

All Thingz Electric installs chargers from all major brands and can coordinate directly with utility companies on applicable rebate programs.

A Full-Service Electrical Partner

Beyond EV charging, All Thingz Electric offers a comprehensive range of residential electrical services including whole-house surge protectionoutdoor and landscape lighting installationbackup generator installation, and 24/7 emergency electrical services. Free quotes are available for all services, and all work is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

“Orange County homeowners expect quality, and we deliver that on every job,” Feeney said. “Whether someone needs a charger installed or their whole panel replaced, we treat every project like it’s our own home.”

About All Thingz Electric

All Thingz Electric is a licensed electrical contractor founded by Anthony Feeney, a certified journeyman electrician, serving residential and commercial clients throughout Orange County. The company is based in Aliso Viejo and serves Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Irvine, Lake Forest, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, and surrounding communities.

RELVE Q2 Report Reveals AI Hype Gap After Analyzing 1.59M Data Points and 23,000 Tools

Published

on

182 AI developments shipped last quarter. Only 29 required a decision from a SaaS operator. RELVE’s Q2 report “The State of AI for SaaS Companies” analyzed 1.59 million data points across 9 categories and 69 attributes to highlight the hype and the gap.

United States, 25th Jul 2026 – Eighty-four percent of the AI news that reached SaaS founders last quarter changed nothing about how they build, staff, budget, or buy. That’s the central finding of The State of AI for SaaS Companies, RELVE’s Q2 2026 report released 23-July-2026, built on 23,000+ tools reviewed and 1.59 million data points assessed.

Every item was sorted into three labels: 72 Noise, 81 Watch, and 29 Signals. A Signal is a named, verifiable change worth acting on now. Watch items are patterns still forming, with a clear trigger that could turn them urgent. Noise is real news with no consequence for how a company operates.

Coverage did not track with consequence. The three most-covered companies of the quarter took 28.9% of all coverage yet produced zero Signals. Meanwhile, more than a third of the quarter’s Signals had no single company behind them at all. The report found the loudest stories were rarely the ones that mattered most, and that attention and consequence often pointed in opposite directions.

RELVE Q2 Report

The 29 Signals grouped into three shifts. The model layer stopped being the moat as frontier-grade output got cheap and interchangeable. Agents began arriving inside company systems before the governance did, often switched on by default in tools teams already run.

And meeting and notetaker tools started turning into the system of record where a company’s decisions, context, and institutional memory live.

Each shift carries a cost if ignored. On AI governance, RELVE cites IBM research showing that high shadow AI use added $670,000 to the average data breach, and that most organizations breached through AI lacked proper access controls.

On skills, the wage premium for AI-fluent roles reached 62% in 2026, more than double what it was two years earlier. On the model layer, cheaper inference reset the build-versus-buy math for nearly every AI-using company.

The report also reads the macro picture on enterprise AI adoption from the major research firms. Adoption is close to universal at 88%, yet only a small share of organizations capture most of the value.

RELVE draws a distinction here: the big firms survey thousands of executives to measure intent, while RELVE tracks what actually shipped and rules on which developments change what an operator does. Its conclusion is that the bottleneck is now workflow, governance, and people, not the technology itself.

The tool review is the foundation under the report. RELVE assessed those tools across 9 categories on 69 attributes, then shortlisted 1,881 across six categories. Nearly 90% of that shortlist was built as AI from the start, with the rest being established tools that added AI later. Marketing and creative made up the two largest categories.

Funding followed a similar pattern of concentration. Among the shortlisted tools, 695 have recorded funding totalling $93.56 billion, with the top ten accounting for about 58% of the total and a single company representing roughly a third of everything tracked. Engineering and operations pulled the most capital by category, while marketing tools, despite being the largest group by count, raised the least.

Events told the same story as the news. RELVE assessed 26 industry conferences during the quarter and found only two produced a Signal. Several more carried announcements worth a founder’s attention without crossing the bar, and many were covered elsewhere purely as spectacle. 

The report sorts every event by consequence instead of size, and closes the section with the Q3 dates worth holding.

The report ends with a set of concrete moves for operators, split into what to act on this quarter and what to plan for next.

The near-term list covers checking exposure to shifting engineering-tool pricing, running an inventory of enterprise AI agents that can take autonomous action, and setting a permission and data-access rule for each. RELVE frames this as an AI agent governance problem most teams have not solved yet.

The forward list points to building around cheap and interchangeable models rather than scarce ones, and reassessing vendor lock-in as meeting tools consolidate into a system of record.

The full report, including the function-by-function breakdown for marketing, engineering, operations, HR, and creative, is available on the RELVE site.

RELVE is an AI intelligence platform for AI trends and tools, built for SaaS founders and their core teams across marketing, HR, operations, engineering, and creative. It filters signal from noise: verified news sorted by what matters, tools ranked by data rather than who paid for the listing, and Signals that brief every function, not just the person at the top.

Pink Panthers Painting Brings Neighborhood-Specific Painting Expertise to Ten Dunwoody Communities

Published

on

Dunwoody painting contractor tailors interior and exterior recommendations to the distinct home styles found in each neighborhood — from 1970s ranch homes in Brook Run to upscale residences in Georgetown and Crown Pointe.

Atlanta, GA, United States, 25th Jul 2026 Pink Panthers Painting, a licensed and insured residential and commercial painting contractor based in Dunwoody, Georgia, has announced the expansion of its services to include neighborhood-specific painting consultations across ten Dunwoody communities. The company now offers homeowners in Dunwoody Village, Crown Pointe, Georgetown, Perimeter Center, Kingsley, Brook Run, Northwoods, Tilly Mill, Vermack, and Winters Chapel tailored painting recommendations based on the specific construction, materials, and character of homes in each area. With a 5.0-star Google rating and years of hands-on experience serving Metro Atlanta, Pink Panthers Painting is the trusted choice for homeowners across DeKalb County looking for painters who know their neighborhood — not just their zip code.

Bringing Local Painting Knowledge to Every Dunwoody Neighborhood

Dunwoody is not a one-size-fits-all market. The city’s neighborhoods span multiple decades of residential construction, from the established ranch-style homes of Brook Run and Northwoods built in the 1970s and 1980s to newer builds near Perimeter Center and the upscale custom residences in Georgetown and Crown Pointe. Each of these communities comes with its own mix of exterior siding materials, sun exposures, and maintenance histories — all of which directly affect the prep work, primer selection, and paint products required for a long-lasting result.

Painters in Dunwoody GA Miguel Garcia and the Pink Panthers Painting team built the company’s reputation by showing up prepared and staying until the job is done right. The neighborhood-specific consultation approach formalizes what the team has always done — arrive knowing what the home needs before the first estimate is given.

“A home in Brook Run built in 1978 and a home in Crown Pointe built in 2005 are two completely different painting jobs. The wood, the siding, the sun exposure — it all changes what we recommend. We wanted homeowners in every part of Dunwoody to be able to talk to us and feel like we already understand their home before we ever pull into the driveway.”

— Miguel Garcia, Owner, Pink Panthers Painting

 

Painting Services Offered Across Dunwoody, GA

Interior Painting

Full interior painting for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, ceilings, and accent walls. Every project begins with thorough prep — patching holes, sanding surfaces, and priming — so the final coat goes on clean and lasts.

Exterior Painting

Exterior painting built around proper surface preparation — pressure washing, scraping, caulking, and priming before any paint is applied. For older Dunwoody homes with wood siding, that prep work is what separates a two-year paint job from one that lasts a decade.

Cabinet Painting

Kitchen and bathroom cabinet painting using bonding primers and durable topcoats. A cost-effective alternative to full cabinet replacement that delivers a high-end finish at a fraction of the price.

Deck Staining

Deck cleaning, prep, and staining to protect outdoor wood from Georgia’s heat, humidity, and seasonal rain. Stain recommendations are tailored to the wood type and the sun exposure the deck receives.

Drywall Repair

Patch and repair for holes, cracks, water stains, and damaged drywall before painting begins. Surfaces are properly mudded, sanded, and primed so repairs are invisible in the final finish.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Safe removal of outdated acoustic ceiling texture, followed by a smooth skim coat and paint. One of the most impactful upgrades available in older Dunwoody homes built before the 1990s.

What Makes Dunwoody Homes Different

The ten communities now covered under Pink Panthers Painting’s neighborhood-specific approach each carry distinct characteristics. Painting company in Dunwoody GA homeowners can now access consultations that account for those differences:

Dunwoody Village: established neighborhood with mature trees and older wood-sided homes

Crown Pointe: newer construction with stucco and fiber cement exteriors

Georgetown: upscale residences with custom architectural details requiring careful prep

Perimeter Center: mixed residential and commercial properties near the Perimeter area

Kingsley: traditional suburban homes with brick and wood exteriors

Brook Run: 1970s and 1980s ranch-style homes, often with original wood siding
