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.

German Entrepreneur Felix H Mohr on Discipline, Founder-Led Marketing, and the Rise of Practical Business Education
With ventures across marketing, education, and property, the 34-year-old entrepreneur explains why accessible business knowledge matters more than ever.
Hong Kong, 18th November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE– Felix H Mohr, a German entrepreneur known for his work across marketing, education, and fintech-related ventures, is gaining attention for his mission to make practical business knowledge accessible to everyone. At 34, Mohr has founded and built companies across multiple sectors, drawing from nearly a decade of experience in entrepreneurship, branding, and early-stage startup development.
Born in Germany and certified as a fintech professional by The University of Hong Kong, Mohr began his career working in international business management and marketing before moving into entrepreneurship full-time. Over the years, he has operated in industries ranging from digital marketing to property and education technology, giving him a broad, multidisciplinary perspective on what modern founders actually need to succeed.
Today, his focus centers around one theme: helping people understand business in a simple, practical, and applicable way. Through daily video content, educational posts, and long-form publications, Mohr breaks down concepts such as branding, discipline, founder-led marketing, and the realities of building something from scratch — topics he believes most new entrepreneurs misunderstand.
“People overcomplicate business,” Mohr explains. “Most of the time, success comes down to learning quickly, communicating clearly, and being disciplined enough to keep going when it gets hard. Everything else is learnable.”
Mohr’s approach emphasizes discipline, consistency, and transparency. He frequently shares insights from his own entrepreneurial journey — from early jobs to operating agencies and building his newest ventures — with the goal of showing how real founders think, work, and evolve. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that business knowledge shouldn’t be hidden behind paywalls or corporate jargon but shared openly so more people can benefit from it.
A key part of Mohr’s message is the power of founder-led marketing, a concept that suggests audiences trust people more than brands. In an era where consumers follow entrepreneurs more closely than the companies they run, Mohr argues that every founder should treat their personal brand as their most valuable asset.
“People buy from people they trust,” he says. “You can spend thousands on ads, but one authentic video from the founder often does more than an entire campaign. The earlier founders learn to communicate publicly, the faster they grow.”
Mohr produces content daily across platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn — showing the process, sharing lessons, and documenting how a modern founder navigates challenges. His consistent presence has become a core part of the educational work he is building, providing practical insights that help people understand business in a simple and applicable way.
Beyond marketing and education, Mohr also emphasizes the mindset required to build long-term success. Discipline, he says, is the differentiator that separates those who try entrepreneurship from those who make it work.
“Most things in business are solvable,” Mohr notes. “If you’re willing to stay in the game, push through discomfort, and keep learning, you give yourself a real chance. Discipline wins where motivation fails.”
As Mohr continues to grow his digital presence and media footprint, he remains focused on the mission that has shaped his work for years: making business knowledge simple, accessible, and usable for anyone willing to learn.

Healing Through Horses, Art, and Reintegration: Baz Nixon Champions Veteran-Focused Nonprofits
Colorado, US, 18th November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a world where the challenges faced by veterans extend far beyond their years of military service, one man is quietly helping bridge the gap between sacrifice and support. Baz Nixon, a former U.S. Air Force logistics and contracting officer, has built a second career that continues his lifelong mission of service. Through his consultancy, Blue Sky Grant Services, LLC, Nixon partners with nonprofits that serve veterans and at-risk populations, ensuring they have the funding and resources needed to make a lasting impact. From equine-assisted therapy to art-based healing and reintegration programs for justice- involved veterans, Nixon’s work uplifts organizations that stand at the forefront of meaningful change. His contributions reflect the same principles that defined his two decades in uniform — discipline, purpose, and a steadfast commitment to those who serve.
A Mission That Didn’t End with Retirement
After more than 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, Baz Nixon retired from military service with a deep understanding of leadership, logistics, and human resilience. His career had taken him across the globe, from humanitarian relief efforts in Sumatra to multimillion-dollar contracting operations during the War on Terror. When his service concluded, Nixon faced a familiar question many veterans encounter: what comes next? For him, the answer lay in continuing his mission — just in a different capacity. He founded Blue Sky Grant Services, LLC to help nonprofit organizations navigate the complex world of funding and compliance. His expertise in government processes and program development positioned him perfectly to support nonprofits serving the very people he had worked alongside for decades.
“I wanted to continue helping those who dedicate their lives to serving others,” Nixon said. “Many veteran-focused organizations have powerful missions but limited access to funding. My goal is to make sure those programs not only survive but thrive.”
Healing Through Horses: Restoring Trust and Strength
Among Nixon’s clients is a nonprofit dedicated to equine-assisted therapy, a program that helps veterans cope with post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and emotional trauma. Through structured interaction with horses, participants rebuild confidence, trust, and emotional
balance in a supportive environment.
For many veterans, traditional therapy can feel intimidating or detached. Working with animals provides a unique path to healing that bypasses stigma and creates space for genuine connection. Nixon has helped secure grants that keep this program running, allowing it to expand its reach and serve more veterans across multiple communities. “The transformation that happens in these programs is remarkable,” Nixon shared. “Horses respond to authenticity and calmness, and that interaction mirrors what many veterans are seeking as they rebuild their lives.”
The Power of Art in Healing
Another organization Nixon supports uses art as a therapeutic outlet for veterans processing trauma or adjusting to civilian life. The program encourages creativity through painting, sculpture, and writing, giving participants the tools to express what words often cannot. “Art gives veterans a way to reclaim their voice,” Nixon said. “Every brushstroke or written line becomes part of their healing journey.” Nixon’s guidance in identifying and securing grant opportunities has allowed this art therapy program to expand workshops, purchase materials, and collaborate with local artists. Beyond funding, he offers insight into structuring these initiatives for long-term sustainability.
Reintegration and the Road Home
In recent years, Nixon has focused on helping nonprofits that work with justice-involved veterans — men and women who have faced legal challenges following their service. For many, the road to reintegration is steep, marked by stigma, unemployment, and mental health struggles. Through workforce training, counseling, and mentorship, these organizations provide pathways toward redemption and reintegration. Nixon helps them secure the resources needed to scale their efforts, ensuring more veterans have access to second chances.
“Justice-involved veterans deserve the opportunity to rebuild their lives,” Nixon emphasized. “Their service doesn’t vanish because they stumbled. Reintegration programs allow them to rediscover purpose and contribute meaningfully to society.”
$12 Million in Funding and Counting
To date, Nixon has supported over 360 grant proposals, helping nonprofits secure more than $12 million in funding. While not all of that total is veteran-specific, a significant portion directly impacts programs serving justice-involved individuals and other at-risk populations. His track record demonstrates not just skill but a deep belief in the potential of nonprofit organizations to drive measurable change. Nixon’s approach combines the precision of military planning with the compassion of community service. He works closely with nonprofit leaders to understand their missions, refine their goals, and craft compelling funding proposals. His process ensures that every
project aligns with the organization’s long-term vision and meets the standards of government and private grant providers.
“I see my clients as partners in a shared mission,” Nixon said. “When they succeed, communities heal, veterans recover, and society grows stronger.”
A Lifelong Commitment to Service
What makes Nixon’s work unique is his ability to bridge two worlds — the structured, mission-driven environment of the military and the purpose-driven, often under-resourced world of nonprofits. His leadership ensures that programs rooted in compassion also operate with precision and accountability. Colleagues describe him as a professional who leads with both heart and discipline. Whether he is refining a grant proposal, advising on compliance, or advocating for a veteran support initiative, Nixon brings the same intensity and attention to detail that defined his military career. “Every veteran I work to support represents someone I might have served with,” Nixon reflected. “That personal connection drives me to make sure the organizations that help them have what they need.”
Looking Forward: Building Stronger Nonprofits
As Baz Nixon continues his work, he envisions a future where more nonprofits can focus less on survival and more on impact. He advocates for stronger collaboration between government agencies, private funders, and community organizations to ensure veterans
receive comprehensive support across mental health, housing, education, and employment. He also emphasizes the importance of innovation in nonprofit programming. Whether through equine therapy, creative arts, or reintegration initiatives, Nixon believes that holistic approaches hold the key to lasting recovery. “Veterans deserve more than just services — they deserve solutions,” he said. “Nonprofits are uniquely positioned to deliver those solutions because they understand the human side of the mission.”
