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.

By

France, 3rd Mar 2026 – Claude Riveloux, Senior Market Strategist, has released a comprehensive market commentary report detailing current observations on global energy supply considerations and recent shifts in institutional capital allocation. The newly published analysis examines available market data, noting historical activity in volatility indices and observable movements of capital between different asset classes during the first quarter of 2026.

Observations on Global Energy Logistics

A primary focus of the report is the structural mechanics of global energy transit routes. Riveloux’s analysis models various scenarios regarding supply chain logistics and their historical correlation with broader energy pricing. The commentary reviews recent market data reflecting implied U.S. bond volatility and technology sector trading volumes in relation to these macroeconomic factors. Furthermore, the report discusses how energy supply metrics have historically interacted with inflation calculations and the broader economic framework.

Reviewing Institutional Capital Flows

Claude Riveloux, whose background includes extensive study at Wharton and Harvard Business School, outlines observable changes in asset allocation strategies among institutional participants. The publication categorizes current market movements into a structural rotation framework, reviewing recent liquidity data to map the current distribution of capital across different sectors.

The commentary highlights several specific asset classes based on their year-to-date performance metrics:

  • Precious Metals: The report documents recent trading volumes and valuation adjustments in gold, reviewing its historical context within macroeconomic shifts.
  • Currency Markets: Riveloux examines the current valuation of the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar, discussing the operational considerations this environment presents for international central banking institutions.
  • Digital Assets: The analysis includes an assessment of recent Bitcoin market behavior, comparing its current pricing trajectory with traditional historical asset classes.

Sector-Specific Market Observations

The report outlines how global supply chain factors and energy logistics have historically influenced specific regional and industrial sectors. Riveloux provides an overview of global regional equity markets, discussing their historical sensitivity to localized logistical disruptions. Additionally, the commentary explores how variations in core energy costs generally influence capital allocation models within the transportation and industrial sectors.

Economic Framework for 2026

In concluding the analysis, Riveloux reviews the economic framework for the remainder of 2026, comparing supply-side economic constraints with demand-driven growth models. The report emphasizes the role of objective risk assessment methodologies in institutional portfolio management and details standard practices for evaluating asset exposure in varying macroeconomic environments.
