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.

TRON Founder Justin Sun Shares Outlook on Bitcoin, Stablecoins and Global Finance at Bitcoin Asia 2026
Geneva, Switzerland, August 31st, 2026, FinanceWire
Geneva, Switzerland, August 31st, 2026, NewsDirect
TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), participated in Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong, where TRON Founder Justin Sun joined two fireside discussions on Bitcoin’s evolution, institutional adoption and the changing structure of global digital finance.
On August 27, Sun joined Bonnie Chang, Founder and Host of Bonnie Blockchain, on the Nakamoto Stage for “The Globalization of Bitcoin Capital.” The discussion focused on Bitcoin’s growing role in global capital markets as access expands through investment products, corporate treasuries and institutional infrastructure.
Sun said Bitcoin has moved well beyond its early years as an experimental technology and now plays a more established role as a global monetary asset and store of value. He also said Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle could become less pronounced as institutional flows, derivatives, global liquidity and macroeconomic conditions play a greater role in shaping the market.
“TRON is highly related to daily stablecoin payments,” said Sun. “The network continues to grow, with more than $94 billion in USDT on TRON, driven by real-world usage and continued growth across the ecosystem.”
The conversation also examined the relationship between Bitcoin and stablecoins. Sun described Bitcoin and stablecoins as complementary, with Bitcoin serving as a store of value while stablecoins are used for payments and settlement. He pointed to sustained stablecoin activity on TRON as evidence that demand for digital dollars can remain strong regardless of broader crypto market conditions.
Sun also addressed longer-term technological shifts affecting blockchain networks, including quantum computing and AI. He highlighted TRON’s work on post-quantum signature technology on the Nile testnet and said the industry should begin preparing for future security risks as quantum computing advances. On AI, Sun said autonomous agents could eventually become active participants in the digital economy, creating demand for systems that allow AI agents to hold assets, make payments and interact directly with financial applications. He said blockchain’s transparent and verifiable infrastructure could become more relevant as AI systems gain greater economic autonomy.
Later that afternoon, Sun joined Sean Hagan of BMTV for a second fireside discussion at The Deep, Bitcoin Asia’s VIP stage, where he discussed how his views on Bitcoin have evolved, opportunities across digital assets and Bitcoin’s potential role in global finance.

Fingerprint Boston Launches Remote Fingerprint Processing Service for Americans Living Abroad
Fingerprint Boston in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, now accepts FD-258 fingerprint cards mailed from overseas, inspects and prepares them for submission, and assists with apostille, translation and return shipping so Americans living abroad complete a background check requirement without traveling to the United States.
Tewksbury, MA, United States, 31st Aug 2026 — Fingerprint Boston, a fingerprinting and document services office in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, has launched a remote fingerprint processing service for United States citizens who live outside the country and need an FBI background check for purposes such as foreign residency, work authorization, professional licensing or adoption.

The service allows applicants to complete the fingerprint capture step where they live and mail the card to Massachusetts rather than traveling to the United States. According to the US Department of State, embassies and consulates abroad do not provide fingerprinting services, which has left many Americans overseas without a clear path to complete the requirement.
How the service works
Applicants have their fingerprints taken on a standard FD-258 card by a local provider in their country of residence, typically a police station or a private fingerprinting service. They then mail the completed card to Fingerprint Boston’s office in Tewksbury, MA. On arrival, technicians inspect the card for print quality and completeness. Cards that pass inspection are scanned on a high-resolution fingerprint scanner and converted to digital format. Fingerprint Boston prepares the fingerprint materials for submission and assists applicants with the FBI background-check process.
When the applicant’s destination country requires additional steps, Fingerprint Boston coordinates the apostille processing and certified translation of the completed report. The company then ships the document package to the applicant’s address abroad.
Card inspection before submission
The company reports that the most common reason mailed cards fail is print quality, including smudged ridges, incomplete rolls, missing signatures and damage during shipping. Each card is checked before scanning, and applicants are notified if a new card is needed before the materials are prepared for submission.
Fingerprint Boston recommends that applicants request two complete card sets from their local provider and ship cards flat between rigid backing to limit damage in transit. Applicants are advised to confirm with the authority requesting the document whether an apostille, a translation or both are required.
“People living abroad were being told to fly home for a 15-minute appointment,” said Hanson Webb, owner of Fingerprint Boston. “The card can travel instead of the person. Our role is to ensure the card that arrives is accepted and to assist with the next steps.”
Webb has operated a document services business in Tewksbury since 2007. The office also provides Live Scan fingerprinting, FD-258 ink card capture, apostille coordination and certified translation for residents and employers in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
Full details on the remote service are available at https://fingerprintboston.com/fbi-background-check-apostille-abroad/. A guide for applicants on obtaining fingerprints while overseas is published at https://fingerprintboston.com/blog/how-to-get-fingerprinted-overseas-fbi-background-check/.

Phomemo M85 Redefines Portable Printing for Work and Travel
New York, New York, United States, 31st Aug 2026 – For professionals working from home, traveling for business, or moving between locations, access to full-size document printing can be limited by the portability of traditional printers. To address this need, Phomemo has introduced the M85 Portable Printer, combining A4 and Letter-size printing with a compact 1.6-pound design, a large touchscreen, 300 DPI resolution, inkless printing technology, and flexible connectivity for smartphones and computers.
A Large Touchscreen for More Direct Control
The feature that immediately stands out on the M85 is its large built-in touchscreen.
Rather than relying entirely on a smartphone or computer to control the printer, the M85 puts more information and functionality directly on the device. The touchscreen can display the printer’s real-time battery level, connection status, and paper position, helping users understand the printer’s status before starting a print job.
The touchscreen also supports template preview, editing, and direct printing. Frequently used documents, forms, receipts, or other materials can be uploaded as templates and accessed directly from the printer for repeated printing.
Users can also personalize the device with wallpaper, while multi-language support and built-in guides make the printer easier to navigate.
According to Phomemo, these features make the touchscreen more than just a visual feature. It helps the M85 function as a more independent printing device, reducing the need to constantly switch between the printer, phone, and computer.
For anyone who prints the same types of documents repeatedly, that can make everyday printing considerably simpler.

Full-Size Printing in a Portable Design
One of the biggest advantages of the Phomemo M85 is that it doesn’t force users to choose between full-size printing and portability.
The M85 supports US Letter and A4-sized printing, allowing users to print documents, contracts, invoices, forms, reports, and other full-size materials while away from a traditional printer. It also supports smaller paper formats, including 53mm, 80mm, and 110mm, giving users more flexibility for different printing needs.
Despite supporting full-size documents, the M85 weighs only 1.6 pounds and has a compact, folding-umbrella-sized design. It can easily fit into a backpack, work bag, or luggage, making it practical for people who regularly move between locations.
The built-in paper compartment adds another layer of convenience by keeping paper readily available inside the printer, so users don’t necessarily need to carry a separate stack of paper just to print a few documents.
For remote workers, business travelers, and small business owners, that combination can be particularly useful: full-size printing without carrying a full-size printer.

Flexible Connectivity for Mobile and Desktop Work
The M85 supports printing from Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth, while USB-C connectivity supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. This allows documents to be printed from smartphones or computers depending on the workflow.
The M85 is also compatible with commonly used file formats, including Word, Excel, PDF, JPG, and other major formats, making it suitable for a variety of everyday printing tasks.
Whether the document starts on a smartphone or a computer, the M85 is designed to make getting it onto paper relatively straightforward.
Inkless Printing for Work on the Go
The M85 uses inkless thermal printing technology, eliminating the need for traditional ink cartridges. This reduces the need to carry or replace ink when printing away from a traditional office setup.
The M85 is equipped with a 3500mAh battery that supports 200+ pages on a single charge, providing capacity for everyday printing without requiring users to stay close to a power outlet.
These features make the M85 suitable for a range of work and travel situations. Remote workers can use the printer when working from home, coworking spaces, or other locations, while business travelers can print contracts, forms, receipts, and meeting materials without relying on hotel business centers or local printing services. For small business owners, the M85 provides a convenient option for handling paperwork between locations, while its multiple paper sizes also support everyday personal tasks such as lists, schedules, notes, and travel documents.

More Portable Printing Options from Phomemo
The M85 is part of Phomemo’s broader range of portable printing solutions, with different models designed around different printing needs.
The M832D focuses on everyday document and photo printing, while the M08F offers a lightweight option for users who prioritize simple mobile printing. For users who prioritize faster printing and added flexibility, the G100 Pro offers printing speeds of up to 100mm/s, AirPrint support, and compatibility with multiple paper sizes.
Together, these options give users different ways to balance portability, printing format, speed, and functionality depending on how and where they print.

About Phomemo
Phomemo is a thermal printing brand focused on portable printing solutions for work, business, creativity, and everyday life. Its product lineup includes portable document printers, label printers, photo printers, and other compact printing solutions designed for users who need more flexibility than a traditional desktop printer can offer.
The M85 represents a more full-featured approach to portable printing, bringing together full-size document printing and smart operation in a compact format.
