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.

Eva Soldati-Schnyder Honored as “Law Firm of the Year” in Central Switzerland (2026)

Published

on

Recognition highlights two decades of excellence in international inheritance, arbitration, and commercial law.

Switzerland, 27th Jul 2026 – In today’s complex legal and financial landscape, where international borders blur and regulations grow increasingly intricate, certainty is the most valuable asset. At the critical crossroads of life and business, whether navigating high-stakes commercial disputes or securing the generational transfer of family wealth conventional legal advice is simply not enough. Clients require a clear compass, unquestionable authority, and profound human understanding. They need a sanctuary of stability.

The recent institutional recognition awarded to Evalaw exemplifies these exact qualities. In an official and prestigious announcement, the legal community of the Canton of Lucerne has awarded Rechtsanwältin Eva Soldati-Schnyder and her team the esteemed title of “Law Firm of the Year 2026.”

This accolade is more than a professional commendation; it is a definitive seal of quality, representing two decades of meticulous Swiss practice, uncompromising strategy, and outstanding achievements in managing high-risk arbitration and some of the most complex cross-border succession cases in Central Switzerland.

Two Decades of Precision: Where Technical Mastery Meets Strategic Vision

Since her admission to the Bar in 2006 (Anwaltskammer Luzern), Eva Soldati-Schnyder has relentlessly built Evalaw into more than just a law practice, it has become an institution synonymous with Swiss prestige, absolute discretion, and unwavering reliability.

Today, the firm is the destination of choice for international clients seeking to bridge the gap between traditional Swiss legal rigor and modern, agile, client-centric solutions. Evalaw’s success lies in its unique ability to deconstruct highly complex, emotionally or commercially charged situations into rational components. We build a clear, step-by-step strategy that neutralizes uncertainty and restores absolute control to our clients’ hands.

The Pillars of the Firm: Leadership in a World of Uncertainty

The “Law Firm of the Year” award specifically highlights Evalaw’s exceptional command over three core legal domains, where the firm is recognized as a supreme professional authority:

1. International Inheritance & Estate Planning (Protecting Your Legacy)
The transfer of wealth, assets, and a life’s work across generations requires far more than technical proficiency in tax or contract law; it demands vision, sensitivity, and foresight. In a globalized world where family assets often span multiple continents and conflicting legal jurisdictions, Evalaw provides an airtight legal architecture.
Our team skillfully navigates Swiss and international private law to preserve the client’s legacy, prevent future disputes, and protect the family from unforeseen exposure. Every trust, will, and estate plan is crafted with surgical precision, honoring the client’s vision with absolute fidelity.

2. High-Stakes Arbitration & Corporate Law (Strategic Dispute Resolution)
In the modern corporate arena, disputes threaten not only the bottom line but the very existence and reputation of an enterprise. For our corporate clients, entering arbitration requires uncompromising, fierce representation.
Evalaw provides a powerful shield during commercial crises. We represent leading corporations and entities in complex arbitration, cross-border transactions, and struggles for corporate control. Our approach is aggressively protective of our clients’ rights, yet remarkably clear and analytical in the tribunal. We are guided by one singular objective: to swiftly restore business stability and successfully resolve the crisis while maintaining total corporate confidentiality.

3. Matrimonial Law & Wealth Crises (Navigating the Personal with Strength)
The dissolution of a family unit or personal disputes involving significant wealth and public standing are deeply fragile events, carrying both heavy emotional burdens and severe financial risks. In these vulnerable moments, clients often find themselves at a disadvantage.

Our firm offers a discreet, strong, and highly supportive safety net. We utilize deep psychological insight to filter out emotional noise, presenting the client with the full picture free of judgment. We neutralize emotional paralysis, empowering our clients to act from a position of strength, make highly rational decisions, and navigate safely out of the storm toward a secure, protected future.

A Vision of Perfection: Excellence as the Only Standard

“This title is a profound honor, but for us at Evalaw, it serves primarily as a living reminder of the immense responsibility we carry every single day,” stated Eva Soldati-Schnyder following the announcement. “When a client walks through our doors, they are entrusting us with more than legal paperwork; they are handing us their future, their financial security, and often, the peace of mind of their family for generations to come.To represent individuals and corporations with the absolute precision required to meet the strict standards of the Canton of Lucerne and Switzerland is a calling that allows for zero compromises. Excellence, for us, is not a future aspiration; it is the only standard we accept in the present. This award is dedicated to our clients, the families and corporations who chose us as their legal shield, trusting that we will never settle for anything less than perfection on their behalf.”

Saiyan Electric Expands Panel Upgrade Services to Support Homeowners Across Southeast LA County

Published

on

Downey, California, United States, 27th Jul 2026 – Saiyan Electric, a licensed electrical contractor headquartered in Downey, California, today announced the expansion of its electrical panel upgrade services to meet rising demand from homeowners across Southeast Los Angeles County. The announcement comes as many residents prepare for increased summer electrical usage and evaluate whether their home’s electrical system can safely support modern power demands.

Rising Demand Meets Aging Electrical Panels

Homes throughout communities such as BellflowerNorwalkLakewood, and South Gate were largely built in the mid-20th century, many with 60- or 100-amp electrical panels that were standard at the time. Today, the average household may run air conditioning, EV chargers, smart home systems, and other high-draw appliances at the same time, creating loads older panels were never designed to support.

“We’re seeing more homeowners reach out with concerns about tripping breakers, flickering lights, or panels that may be operating near capacity,” said Michael Velasquez, founder of Saiyan Electric. “Many of these homes are 40, 50, or even 60 years old, and the electrical panel hasn’t been updated in decades. As electrical demands increase, it’s important for homeowners to understand whether their system can safely handle those loads.”

Full-Service Electrical Services for Southeast LA County

In addition to panel upgrades, Saiyan Electric provides electrical safety inspectionselectrical troubleshootingwhole-house surge protection, and a full range of residential and commercial electrical services throughout Downey, Bellflower, Lakewood, Norwalk, South Gate, and surrounding LA County communities.

All work performed by Saiyan Electric is backed by a 3-year warranty on parts and labor. Technicians are licensed, background-checked, and committed to delivering safe, code-compliant electrical solutions.

Special Offer for New Customers

To help homeowners evaluate the condition of their electrical systems, Saiyan Electric is offering $50 off the first service call for new customers. The company encourages residents, especially those living in older homes, to consider scheduling an electrical panel inspection before peak summer usage.

“The best time to find out whether a panel needs attention is before a problem develops,” Velasquez added. “A professional inspection can help homeowners understand the condition of their electrical system and identify potential issues before they become emergencies.”

Belprego Travel announces 39 own New Year 2027 travel programs

Published

on

Bulgarian tour operator Belprego Travel has published 39 New Year 2027 programs that it operates itself, covering the Antalya coast in Turkey, Zaychar in Serbia and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, with departures between December 25 and 31, 2026.

Sofia, Bulgaria, 27th Jul 2026 – Belprego Travel, a licensed Bulgarian tour operator, has opened bookings for 39 New Year 2027 programs that the company organises itself, covering the Antalya coast in Turkey, the Serbian town of Zaychar and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Departures run from December 25 through December 31, 2026, and the full New Year 2027 lineup is published on the company website.

The programs are marked on the listing with a verification badge that separates the operator’s own departures from third-party offers resold on the same page. The distinction determines who holds the contracts with the hotels and carriers, who staffs the trip and who is answerable if arrangements change, which is information travellers rarely get before payment in the Bulgarian market.

Turkey accounts for 34 of the 39 own programs. The lineup is built around five resorts on the Antalya coast, Side, Alanya, Belek, Lara and Kemer, in four-night and five-night variants. Twenty-six of the Turkish programs are flight-based, with departures from Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna, and eight run by coach. Coach programs to Side start at 302 EUR, with Alanya from 308 EUR and Belek from 345 EUR. Flight programs open at 480 EUR for Alanya departing Plovdiv and reach 699 EUR for a five-night stay in Lara departing Sofia.

The entry point of the entire lineup is Serbia. A two-night New Year program in Zaychar with own transport starts at 299 EUR, and the same destination is offered with organised coach transport from 349 EUR, both departing December 31, 2026.

At the long-haul end, three programs fly from Sofia to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, departing December 25, 26 and 28, 2026, with starting prices between 2495 EUR and 3230 EUR.
 

“The badge on the listing exists because a customer deserves to know whether the company taking the booking is also the company running the trip,” said Mrs. Radoslava Beleganska, of Belprego Travel. “For these 39 programs the answer is the same one: the contracts, the transport and the guides on the ground are ours.”

The distribution of the lineup reflects a wider pattern in Bulgarian outbound travel for the winter season. Antalya has become a year-round destination for Bulgarian travellers rather than a summer one, supported by all-inclusive hotel stock that stays open through December and by coach routes that keep the entry price under the cost of most domestic mountain packages over the same dates. Serbia continues to serve short-break demand within driving distance, while Caribbean departures remain a narrow segment booked months in advance.

Departure structure across the lineup follows the calendar rather than a single travel date. Coach programs to Turkey leave on December 27 and 28, flight programs on December 29, Serbian programs on December 31, and the Dominican Republic programs in the last week of December, allowing travellers to align the trip with the working days lost around the holiday.

“Winter demand is decided earlier every year, and the inventory that sells first is the four-night and five-night all-inclusive stock in Antalya,” said Mrs. Radoslava Beleganska. “Programs are published in July because the hotels that matter for New Year are contracted in the summer, not in the autumn.”

Departure dates, resort details, hotel categories and the current starting price for every program are maintained by Belprego Travel and updated as availability changes, alongside the company’s coach and flight programs for the rest of the season.
