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.

Demo Slots That Led 2025
Slotozilla’s report has shed light on some significant regional slot trends over the past year. The Spanish market carried its affection for the Book of Ra slot from 2024 over into 2025. It also boasted the highest popularity per region, indicating continued dominance for the game and similar-themed electronic video slot machines.
France, Poland, and Portugal tended towards games with crash mechanics, favouring Uncrossable Rush, Chicken Road 2, and Aviator, respectively — a trend that could see crash games become even more successful in 2026. Razor Shark in Germany and Dice and Roll in the UK rounded up the most popular slots in major European markets. Unlike the previous year, the European markets showed much greater divergence in modern slot machines in 2025.
Sun and Moon dominated the US market, while The Wild Life had the Canadian market locked down. Australia went a different direction, with Where’s The Gold? being the most favoured option across the board for its players.
Engagement Trends
Per the player engagement data, there appears to be a correlation between retention (average sessions per player) and average playtime for the slot games. Canada and Poland both boasted high average playtimes and average sessions per player.
Australia and Portugal appear on the other end of the spectrum, reflecting low average playtimes and average sessions per player. Where’s The Gold? and Book of Ra slot machines continued their regional dominance, also recording the highest retention and longest average playtimes in Australia and Spain.
What the Data Means for the Industry
Data-driven findings, such as those recorded by Slotozilla in its 2025 online slot usage report, are highly important to various industry stakeholders. It could give online casino operators a hint about what translates to retention and conversion across different markets.

Press Release
IBA President Umar Kremlev calls for radical reform of the Olympic Movement and equal rights for athletes
Lausanne, Switzerland – The debate around the role of politics in international sport and the treatment of athletes from different countries continues to intensify. Recent statements by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that sanctions should not be imposed on athletes from countries involved in the Middle Eastern conflict have sparked renewed discussions about consistency, fairness and the future of the Olympic movement.
Commenting on the situation, International Boxing Association (IBA) President Umar Kremlev sharply criticized what he described as double standards in the approach of global sports governance and called for sweeping reforms within the Olympic system.
“The IOC’s statement that sanctions should not be imposed on athletes from countries involved in the Middle Eastern conflict is the peak of cynicism and clear double standards.
Not excluding anyone is the only right decision, but for some reason the careers of athletes from Russia and Belarus had to be sacrificed for the Olympic movement to reach this point,” said Kremlev.
According to the IBA President, the Olympic movement must undergo fundamental change in order to restore trust among athletes and fans.
“The new leadership of the IOC must finally get rid of the old order and the rat Thomas Bach, whose team is still dragging the Olympic movement to the bottom,” Kremlev said.
Kremlev also called for reforms aimed at strengthening the financial position of athletes and ensuring they benefit from the value they create within the global sports ecosystem.
“I hope that at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles prize money will be introduced in all sports and that athletes will compete under their own flags and anthems,” he said. “This will allow participants to earn money that the IOC collects from advertising contracts thanks to the athletes themselves.”
The IBA President argued that athletes and coaches should receive a fair share of revenues generated by international sporting events.
“All this money rightfully belongs to the athletes and their coaches, not to officials enjoying five-star hotels and luxurious gala dinners. It is time to stop this injustice,” Kremlev said.
Calling for immediate change, Kremlev stressed that the Olympic movement must prioritize athletes and restore credibility to international sport.
“The Olympic movement must remove the tumour that is destroying it and leading to scandals and corruption. As an ambassador of sports, I demand immediate and radical reforms,” he stated.
Kremlev pointed to the International Boxing Association as an example of a sports organization that focuses on the interests of athletes, coaches and national federations.
“IBA is an example of such reforms, where everything is done to create the best conditions for athletes, coaches and national federations. On our podium there are always boxers, not politics. IBA is an independent organization that does not pursue private interests. All earned funds are reinvested in athletes, allowing them to earn money and support their families,” he said.
Kremlev concluded by calling on the global sports community to prioritize unity and fair competition.
“All disputes and conflicts must be resolved only in sports arenas within sporting competitions,” he added.
About the International Boxing Association:
The International Boxing Association (IBA) is the worldwide governing body of boxing, established in 1946. As the custodian of boxing, the IBA’s strategy is underpinned by an athlete-first approach, with a clear mission to promote, support, develop and unite the prestigious and historic sport worldwide.

United States, 10th Mar 2026 – As the creator economy continues to expand, millions of independent creators are searching for better ways to monetize their audiences and build sustainable digital businesses. A new platform called Cluvz hopes to address that challenge by bringing several popular creator monetization tools together in one place.
Cluvz is designed as an all-in-one creator platform that combines elements commonly found across services such as Patreon, Cameo and Fanfix. Rather than relying on multiple platforms to manage different revenue streams, creators using Cluvz can handle subscriptions, personalized content requests and fan interactions within a single ecosystem.
The platform allows creators to offer subscription-based memberships, sell exclusive digital content and respond to requests from fans for personalized videos or messages. It also provides tools for private fan interactions, allowing creators to maintain closer connections with their audiences while generating revenue.
The idea behind the platform is to simplify what has become an increasingly fragmented landscape for online creators. Many creators currently rely on several services at once — one for subscriptions, another for custom content and others for fan communication.
“Today’s creator economy offers enormous opportunity, but the tools creators rely on are often spread across multiple platforms,” a spokesperson for Cluvz said. “We wanted to build a platform that brings these experiences together in a more streamlined way.”
Cluvz is designed to support creators working with global audiences, offering payment infrastructure and tools that allow creators to manage their communities and monetize digital content more efficiently.
Over the past decade, the creator economy has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry as more individuals turn their online audiences into sustainable businesses. As that industry evolves, platforms that help creators manage their revenue streams in simpler ways are increasingly gaining attention.
Cluvz is currently preparing for launch and has begun onboarding creators from around the world.
