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.

GlowRow’s Unplanned Spotlight at San Antonio’s Holly Jolly Kayaking Event Captures Public Attention

Published

on

San Antonio, TX, United States, 12th Dec 2025 – At the San Antonio River Authority’s sold-out Holly Jolly Kayaking event, four GlowRow team members secured public tickets like everyone else and slipped quietly into the water. No fanfare. No announcement. No stage set for impact, just four clear kayaks joining a community paddle beneath the holiday lights.

But the Riverwalk has a way of noticing things that aren’t trying to be noticed.

As the GlowRow vessels glided under the bridges, with glowpaddles piercing the water like lightsabers… something shifted. The chatter along the walkways softened. People paused mid-stride, mid-sip, mid-sentence, as though the water itself had asked them to look. One phone lifted, then five, then a crowd, until the entire stretch of river seemed to glow not just from the kayaks, but from the attention drawn toward them.

What began as a quiet moment of participation became a shared moment of wonder, the kind that reminds you how rare it is to surprise a city that’s seen everything.

“We weren’t trying to make a statement. We just wanted to be part of the event. Yet somehow the moment grew bigger than us… the phones, the smiles, the people leaning over the rails. It was a reminder that light travels farther than you think, especially when you don’t intend to shine it,” said Zack Jurasek, Founder of GlowRow. 

“This wasn’t our show,” Zack added. “We were just one small part of a community paddle, but for a few minutes, the Riverwalk lit up in a way none of us expected.”

“For our team, paddling the Riverwalk during the holidays was already special… the reaction from the community made it unforgettable.”

GlowRow has guided more than 45,000 nighttime paddlers across Texas using proprietary lighting systems engineered in-house to withstand nightly operations, saltwater environments, vibration, and long-duration runtime. The company has received multiple awards from the Texas State Tourism office, international recognition from the UK Travel & Hospitality Awards, and USA Today’s #2 Best Kayak Tour in the U.S. for 2025.

Wednesday night was never planned as a showcase, yet something about the illuminated kayaks against the Riverwalk’s holiday backdrop created a moment that resonated with everyone who saw it.

GlowRow extends its appreciation to the San Antonio River Authority for hosting the Holly Jolly event and maintaining one of Texas’s most iconic waterways. Any future conversations about expanded opportunities in San Antonio will be approached with deep respect for the Riverwalk, its culture, and its community.

Crypto Liquidity Engine Collapses: Will BTC Drop Again After $5 Billion ETF Outflow

Published

on

United Kingdom, 12th Dec 2025 – Recently, the cryptocurrency market has faced renewed volatility. With major liquidity engines collapsing and up to $5 billion flowing out of ETFs, Bitcoin (BTC) prices are under pressure, and market uncertainty is on the rise.

ETF funds are generally seen as an important indicator of institutional investor confidence. Their outflow often signals tightening market liquidity and higher price volatility.

Analyst Ted Piro pointed out that, given the current market environment, investors should approach such fund outflows with caution. He asked:
Will BTC experience another major drop?

If institutions reduce their holdings, the increase in Bitcoin supply could put downward pressure on prices. Historical data shows that large-scale fund movements often precede price adjustments, further increasing market uncertainty.

As a result, retail investors have begun to adjust their strategies. Instead of relying solely on short-term market opportunities, they are focusing on early accumulation, wealth building, and creating sustainable cash flow. In discussions about BTC investment strategies, Investor Hash’s automated digital asset platform is frequently mentioned, allowing users to participate in managed investment plans and earn daily returns without technical setup or manual trading.

Conclusion
