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

Published

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.

Carbon-fiber lightweight mice and 8kHz magnetic-switch keyboards take center stage starting June 9

United States, 16th Jun 2026, – As the world turns its eyes to the football pitch, MAMBASNAKE today announced the launch of its “World Football Season” mid-year promotional event, running from June 9. Inspired by the speed, precision and teamwork of the World Cup, the brand reaffirms its commitment to building a high-quality gaming community for players around the globe. During the promotion, gamers can enjoy special offers on MAMBASNAKE’s flagship lineup – from carbon‑fiber ultra‑lightweight mice to 8kHz magnetic‑switch keyboards – at the brand’s official website.

“The World Cup is a celebration of athletic excellence, where every split‑second decision matters. At MAMBASNAKE, we believe the same spirit drives gamers in the digital arena,” said Ray, Head of Global Marketing at MAMBASNAKE. “Our mission is to be the best teammate for every player, delivering high‑performance, reliable gear that unlocks their full potential. This June, we invite the community to experience the thrill of the game with our most advanced peripherals yet.”

​The Mouse Lineup: Lightweight, Responsive and Built for Victory

MAMBASNAKE’s mouse family covers every playstyle – from everyday competitors to esports professionals – without compromising on speed or comfort.

M2 Carbon Fiber – Durability Meets Featherlight Design

The M2 Carbon Fiber Lightweight Wireless Gaming Mouse uses injection‑molded carbon fiber, delivering outstanding resistance to wear and impact while keeping weight at only 41g±3. Its ice‑touch coating ensures a firm grip even during intense, sweat‑heavy sessions. Powered by the PixArt PAW3395PRO sensor, the M2 reaches up to 40,000 DPI with 50‑step precision adjustment. The Omron microswitches (rated for 100 million clicks) and F‑Switch E10 premium encoder provide crisp, reliable feedback. Combined with triple-mode connectivity (Bluetooth/2.4GHz/wired) and a 250mAh battery, it has become a true workhorse gaming mouse.

M3 – The All-Round Gaming Mouse

Weighing just 39 grams, the M3 lightweight wireless gaming mouse is designed for gamers seeking a balance between performance and versatility. Its custom PAW3395PRO sensor offers a resolution of up to 40,000 DPI, a tracking speed of 700 IPS and acceleration of 60G. The Broadcom BK3633 chip ensures stable wireless transmission and supports a 1,000 Hz polling rate. Its standout feature is its well-rounded performance; compared to other mice in the same price range, it offers a near-perfect balance of weight, performance and battery life, making it an excellent entry-level gaming mouse.

M5 Ultra – The Flagship 8kHz Carbon‑Fiber Beast

For players who demand the absolute best, the M5 Ultra Carbon Fiber 8K Wireless Gaming Mouse sets a new standard. Built with aerospace‑grade carbon fiber, it weighs only 39g – up to 33% lighter than many competitors. The flagship PixArt PAW3950MAX sensor pushes DPI to 42,000, while the Nordic 52840 chip enables an astonishing 8,000Hz polling rate, cutting latency to just 0.125ms – a decisive advantage in fast‑paced shooters. Omron switches and an F‑Switch E10 encoder complete the package. With tri‑mode wireless and a 230mAh battery, the M5 Ultra is the ultimate weapon for serious competitors.
