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

Published

on

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.

Miami Sailing School Releases Docking and Mooring Guide

Published

on

Miami Sailing School has released a new educational guide that explains essential docking and mooring techniques, offering practical instruction for stronger boat-handling skills.

Miami, Florida, United States, 10th Jan 2026 – Miami Sailing School has published an extensive new instructional guide designed to help sailors strengthen their docking and mooring skills, two of the most essential components of real-world seamanship. The school’s latest educational release, “Docking & Mooring Techniques Every Sailor Should Master,” focuses on the importance of precision, confidence, and situational awareness in the close-quarters maneuvering that takes place in Miami’s active marinas and waterways. The guide emphasizes how professional instruction, hands-on practice, and a structured approach can dramatically improve a sailor’s ability to manage tight spaces, shifting winds, and challenging approaches.

Focused Instruction on Real Scenarios Miami Sailors Encounter Daily

The newly released guide details the techniques Miami Sailing School teaches in its on-water training programs, highlighting the importance of understanding how a sailboat behaves at slow speeds, how wind and current influence movement near docks, and how prop walk affects reverse maneuvering. It explains in depth how students are trained to plan approaches, manage throttle and rudder control, coordinate with crew, react to crosswinds, and use momentum effectively when bringing a boat into a slip. The guide also covers how the school’s instructors teach sailors to use observation, preparation, and environmental awareness to make safe and deliberate docking decisions.

Expanded Coverage on Proper Mooring Techniques

Miami Sailing School’s new guide offers detailed instruction on safe and predictable mooring practices, describing how sailors should approach a mooring ball from downwind, manage vessel speed, and execute smooth communication between helm and bow crew. It outlines the practical steps sailors learn during the school’s mooring lessons, including retrieving and securing the pendant, verifying chafe points, inspecting the swing radius, and ensuring the boat is properly aligned with wind direction. The information reflects the core skills emphasized in the school’s hands-on programs, where students practice these techniques repeatedly in the same conditions they will encounter throughout Biscayne Bay and greater South Florida.

Skill Development Emphasizing Control, Calm, and Confidence

The press release highlights how the school’s training methods focus on building calm, methodical habits that allow sailors to manage complex docking and mooring tasks without stress or uncertainty. By learning to recognize the boat’s pivot point, anticipate environmental factors, and maintain control with short throttle bursts, sailors develop a foundation of confidence that carries into every aspect of their boating experience. The new guide reinforces the school’s philosophy that docking and mooring are not advanced skills but essential competencies that all sailors must master early in their training.

A Continued Commitment to Raising Seamanship Standards in Miami

Miami Sailing School’s publication reflects its ongoing commitment to expanding educational resources for sailors in South Florida. By offering detailed, locally relevant material, the school provides new and experienced sailors with guidance rooted in real conditions, real marinas, and real docking challenges. The release affirms that the most effective training takes place on the water with knowledgeable instructors who can guide students through each maneuver step by step. The school continues to support Miami’s boating community by sharing techniques that improve safety, prevent damage, and enhance overall seamanship for every level of sailor.
