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.

813,294 Wallets Lost $2 Billion on the TRUMP Token – The Registered Cut Explains Less Than a Third of the Winnings.
A new reconciliation maps every documented winner of the Trump crypto complex: 58 wallets took $1.1 billion, validators took $100 million in a week, and one income line survives the crash by law.
Vilnius, Lithuania — President Trump’s June 30 financial disclosure put a signed number on his crypto year: at least $1.4 billion, including $635 million in memecoin royalties. A new analysis from independent research publication Stack & Story, “Where the Two Billion Went,” starts where that filing stops: if 813,294 wallets lost $2.0 billion on the TRUMP token, and the family’s registered take explains less than a third of the documented winnings, who took the rest?
Key findings:
- The TRUMP loss pool nearly closes against four documented winner cohorts: roughly $616 million to Trump-family entities (Reuters), $1.1 billion to 58 large wallets (Chainalysis), about $100 million to Solana validators and MEV operators in launch week (Helius), and a residual near $184 million for exchanges and unattributed actors.
- The 58 winning wallets are 0.007 percent of the 813,294 losing wallets identified in a New York Times-commissioned forensic analysis.
- The best-documented winner, a trader Bubblemaps calls “Naseem,” funded a fresh wallet with $1 million four hours before the launch announcement, bought within 30 seconds of the tweet, and exited with about $109 million.
- Solana’s daily fee revenue hit an all-time high of $56.9 million on January 19, 2025, driven by TRUMP trading; validators collected over 100,000 SOL in two days.
- The cleanest single transfer in the set: ALT5 Sigma raised $750 million from shareholders, spent $717 million on WLFI tokens, more than $500 million of which flowed to the family, and its shares fell from above $9 to under $1.
- One income line needs no bull market: USD1’s $4.6 billion float earns an estimated $178 million a year for its issuer while paying holders zero, an arrangement the GENIUS Act’s July 18 rules make permanent for every compliant issuer.
“Everyone wrote that he made billions while holders lost billions. The number nobody had was the split,” said Mr Gintautas, founder of Stack & Story. “The president was not the biggest winner of his own memecoin. Fifty-eight anonymous wallets out-earned him.”
Methodology: figures assembled from the June 30 OGE disclosure, the Reuters investigation of June 9, the NYT-commissioned forensic analysis, Chainalysis, Bubblemaps and Helius data, with prices from CoinGecko and rates from FRED. Measurement windows differ across sources; the reconciliation is directional, not audited, and is labeled as such throughout.

The World Is Dancing Episode II Synopsis, Next Episode Preview and Advance Cuts Revealed
The Story of the Boy Who Would One Day Be Known as Zeami “The World Is Dancing” Episode II: “You Have a Body, Don’t You?” Synopsis, Next Episode Preview and Advance Cuts Revealed
Tokyo, Japan, 7th Jul 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. announces The World Is Dancing, currently available to HIDIVE subscribers throughout the U.S. and Canada as well as in key overseas markets including Australia and New Zealand since June 29, has unveiled the synopsis, next episode preview, and advance cuts for Episode II.
Set in a turbulent era of constant conflict, this work follows the intensely curious and beautiful boy Oniyasha (CV: Yumiri Hanamori) as he meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and shapes a new form of dance in an impermanent world. It is a “dancing story” spanning 600 years, exploring what might have happened when the man who would later create Noh—Zeami—was still called Oniyasha.
The anime is produced by the animation studio Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died). The series is directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi, known for his work on the TV anime The Great Passage, the animated film Love Me, Love Me Not, and both the TV and theatrical versions of the Backflip!! series.
The series recently won a Special Award at the Short Shorts Film Festival, drawing immense attention.
Set in 1374 during the conflict between the Northern and Southern Courts, Act 1 introduced Oniyasha, a boy born to the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, who spends his days unable to find meaning in dance. One day, he encounters Shirabyoshi dancing in a barn, experiencing something truly “good” for the first time. Following the broadcast, social media was flooded with praise from viewers captivated by the passion ignited in Oniyasha’s heart and the breathtaking animation of the dance sequences.
Following the broadcast and streaming of Act 1, social media was flooded with high praise from viewers who were captivated by Oniyasha’s passion and the striking intensity of the dance. Enthusiastic comments poured in, with fans stating, “Act 1 of The World Is Dancing was amazing!” and “It was incredibly entertaining; I’m absolutely watching every single episode.” Viewers also expressed their awe at the production quality, noting, “The way the expression of Shirabyoshi’s dance changed alongside Oniyasha’s shifting heart was truly beautiful,” and “The dance scene in the second half was a masterpiece that showed just how far Japanese animation can go.”
Anticipation for the rest of the series was evident in reactions like, “It exceeded my expectations! I can’t wait to see what the passion born within Oniyasha will go on to create.”
In Episode II, fascinated by Shirabyoshi’s “good” dance, Oniyasha wishes to be able to dance like that himself and begins visiting her along with his friends Kogane and Ishiya. However, the heart-pounding excitement he felt that day never returns no matter how long he waits, leaving Oniyasha with a growing sense of frustration.
Nevertheless, triggered by his encounter with the Shirabyoshi, Oniyasha’s dance slowly begins to change, even earning him praise from his father, Kan’ami, who had never acknowledged him before. But it was not only Oniyasha’s dance that had changed…
What kind of story will Oniyasha’s changing dance and heart weave from here on? Don’t miss Act II!

WARSAW, Poland — July 2026 — Poland has officially entered Europe’s scale-up league. According to a new editorial ranking published by BNBN.pl, one of Poland’s fastest-growing business news portals, the country’s startup ecosystem is no longer an early-stage curiosity — it is producing companies valued in the billions and attracting record foreign capital. Venture funding in Poland reached PLN 3.4 billion in 2025 across roughly 180 deals, and the first months of 2026 have already brought an 84% year-on-year increase in invested capital.
Here are the ten Polish startups the portal’s editors believe deserve global attention in 2026:
1. ElevenLabs — The AI voice-generation phenomenon founded by Piotr Dąbkowski and Mateusz Staniszewski has become Poland’s most celebrated tech export. After a Sequoia-led Series D in early 2026, the company reported annual recurring revenue of around $500 million — up from $350 million just months earlier.
2. ICEYE — The satellite radar-imaging company with Polish roots closed a €200 million Series E in December 2025 at a €2.4 billion valuation, cementing its position as a leader in Earth observation and defense-related monitoring.
3. Booksy — The Warsaw-born booking platform for beauty and wellness services keeps expanding in the US and Europe, with more than $200 million raised to date.
4. DocPlanner — The healthtech unicorn behind ZnanyLekarz secured a €80 million Series E and continues to digitize medical appointments across Europe and Latin America.
5. Brainly — The Kraków-founded learning platform, used by hundreds of millions of students worldwide, has doubled down on AI-powered tutoring after its $80 million Series D.
6. Ramp Network — The crypto-payments infrastructure startup remains one of Poland’s strongest fintech bets, powering fiat-to-crypto rails for global partners.
7. Sybilla Technologies — A rising star of Polish spacetech, the company raised over €8 million in 2026 for its global network of optical sensors tracking objects in orbit.
8. Infermedica — The Wrocław-based medtech develops AI-driven symptom-checking and triage technology used by insurers and healthcare providers in dozens of countries.
9. Nomagic — The Warsaw robotics company builds AI-powered robotic arms for e-commerce warehouses and is expanding rapidly across Western Europe.
10. Paymove — One of the freshest names on the list, this fintech raised €2.12 million in seed funding in 2026 to build payment systems designed for agentic AI — a category that barely existed a year ago.
“Poland’s startup scene has reached critical mass,” comments the editorial team at BNBN.pl. “AI, spacetech, healthtech and fintech built in Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław now compete globally — and international investors have taken notice. Moderna is considering a factory in Poland, Taiwanese investors are building a technology park near Wrocław, and Polish founders are raising some of the largest rounds in Europe.”
The full ranking, along with daily coverage of Polish and international business, finance and technology news, is available on the portal’s website.
