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.

Pro-Grade AI Diagnosis, Without the Pro-Grade Price: THINKSCAN 689BT PRO Brings 610 Racing’s Know-How to the DIYer
610 Racing finished 7th overall at the 2026 Shanghai 8-Hour with THINKCAR diagnostic backing — and the same family of AI-assisted diagnostic thinking now reaches the independent technician and DIYer through the THINKSCAN 689BT PRO. Pro-grade diagnosis is no longer out of reach for the independent technician. Fix with Experts.
FRANKFURT, Germany / Timesnewswire / September 29, 2026 – After eight hours of racing at the Shanghai International Circuit in Jiading, 610 Racing brought the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II home 2nd in the GT3 SA class and 7th overall. For a Shanghai independent team running against factory-backed entries, the result showed what focused, well-tooled effort can achieve — from qualifying through race incidents to a determined drive to the flag.
Over its September 25–27 window — Friday testing, Saturday practice and qualifying, then Sunday’s eight-hour race — the Shanghai 8-Hour ranks among Asia-Pacific’s premier GT endurance rounds and a flagship of China’s top-tier GT calendar, a stage usually reserved for the biggest budgets in the sport.
At the 2026 Shanghai 8-Hour, 610 Racing contested the GT3 SA class with the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II and a four-driver crew: Yang Xiaowei, Steven Zhou, Roy Tang, and Luo Kailuo.

From the pit wall to the home garage
For the 2026 season, 610 Racing and partner THINKCAR took the grid together. THINKCAR builds AI-assisted diagnostic tools that turn raw vehicle data into a clear repair path, and 610 Racing is a fitting partner for the work: established in 2023 as the motorsport arm of 610AUTOGROUP — a luxury-car and racing technical-service brand under the Liaoning Aoxing Yuexiu group — the team became the resident squad at the FIA-certified Tianjin V1 International Circuit in 2024. Across an eight-hour format where diagnosis and repair happen against the clock, the team’s trackside technicians rely on THINKCAR tools to keep the transporter, service, and support vehicles ready. The Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II itself runs a race-specific ECU outside the passenger-car OBD protocol, so that diagnostic coverage is applied to the support fleet rather than the race car — and THINKCAR is now bringing the same problem-solving thinking to the independent technician and home mechanic through the THINKSCAN 689BT PRO.

Track-grade thinking, now in the DIYer’s hands
For years, race-grade diagnostic capability was the preserve of the best-funded operations. An endurance race compresses every diagnostic challenge into eight hours — shifting conditions, tight fault windows, and no room for guesswork — and THINKCAR’s AI diagnostic lineup brings that same discipline to the independent technician and home mechanic. A factory crew works from an entire pit wall of live telemetry; the home mechanic often has only a warning light and a forum thread. The THINKSCAN 689BT PRO is built to close that gap — an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for the DIYer, the mobile technician, and the independent shop owner that puts data-driven diagnosis, not guesswork, into the garage. It puts AI-guided diagnosis online, through mythinkcar.com, so a difficult fault gets a clear next step instead of a dead end — the same problem-solving mindset a race team relies on, at a price and a channel built for the independent technician. The case for that clarity is concrete: in 2024 the average check-engine-light repair in the U.S. cost $415 (CarMD Vehicle Health Index, drawn from more than 31 million diagnosed failures), and many faults share similar symptoms, so a backyard mechanic can flail without the precise cause. That is what “Fix with Experts” stands for: the right diagnosis should not depend on the workshop or the training behind it, and the 689BT PRO puts the diagnostic thinking a race team relies on into the hands of the independent technician who fixes cars on their own terms.

What it means for the DIYer and independent technician
Consider a typical fault: a warning light with no obvious cause. The 689BT PRO reads the code and translates it into plain language — what the fault means, which module it sits in, and the common symptoms behind it — then draws likely causes from THINKCAR’s model-specific diagnostic knowledge base and lays out a repair path step by step: a troubleshooting sequence, a repair priority, and a suggested parts list that can be exported as a one-click PDF report. A plain-language assistant answers questions in everyday terms — “rough idle, weak acceleration” returns likely causes, checks, and repair advice — so the work starts from evidence rather than a forum guess, and a capable technician moves faster while a newcomer learns on the job. Built on the 689BT PRO’s full-system topology view, it is part of THINKCAR’s AI diagnostic lineup, separate from the premium T394 AI, and sold direct to the online-first technician through mythinkcar.com.

Virtual Office in Taipei for International Teams JIN SPACE
Choosing a Virtual Office in Taipei
Taiwan, 30th Sep 2026 – An overseas business may have clients in Taiwan long before it needs a permanent office there. If your team visits Taipei for occasional meetings but works remotely most of the time, a virtual office could provide a local address and selected support services without the cost of a dedicated workspace.

The term covers different arrangements. Some plans focus on receiving correspondence; others may offer mail services or access to meeting rooms at an additional cost. Before you sign, make sure the agreement covers the ways your business will actually use the address.
Be clear about how you will use the address
An address for business correspondence is not automatically suitable for every official filing. Tell the provider whether you intend to put it on your website and invoices, receive mail there, or use it in a company registration application. Ask which uses are permitted under the specific plan and what supporting documents the provider can supply.
If registration is part of your plan, confirm the filing requirements with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser as well. JIN SPACE’s FAQ says eligibility depends on the chosen plan, the company’s activities and applicable rules. A listing for a virtual office should therefore not be treated as a guarantee that the address will work for your filing.
Find out who handles mail and visitors
A business address is only useful if important correspondence reaches the right person. Ask what types of mail and deliveries can be accepted, how your team will be notified, and whether collection, scanning or forwarding is available. Check the fees and how time-sensitive items are handled. The agreement should also say what happens to mail when the service ends.
Think about in-person meetings, too. If clients will visit the address, find out whether a meeting room can be booked at the same location, how far ahead you need to reserve it and what it costs. Confirm staffed reception hours separately from any workspace access. JIN SPACE lists service hours of Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; discuss your needs directly if guests may arrive outside those hours.
Compare the real cost with your working pattern
JIN SPACE’s space solutions page lists virtual offices from NT$2,500 per month. That starting rate is useful for budgeting, but your total will depend on the plan and any additional services. Request a written quote covering the recurring fee, deposits, taxes, mail handling, meeting rooms, renewal terms and cancellation notice.
If you expect frequent meetings or need desks for local staff, compare the combined virtual office and room-booking cost with a coworking or private office plan. A low address fee may not be the best value once the team starts using the space regularly.
Check the location in person
An address in Xinyi District may be convenient for clients, but make sure visitors can find the building and the correct floor. JIN SPACE is located at 2F-1, No. 415, Section 4, Xinyi Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City. Its published information describes the location as approximately a four-minute walk from Taipei 101/World Trade Center MRT Station. A clear arrival guide will still help first-time guests.
When contacting JIN SPACE, describe your business activities, intended address use, expected mail volume and how often you will need meeting space. That gives the team enough information to explain which plans may fit, what is included and what needs a separate eligibility check.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a virtual office address to register a company in Taiwan?
Do not assume so. It depends on the address, the plan, your business activities and the applicable filing requirements. Obtain the provider’s written confirmation and check the requirements with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser before applying.
Does a virtual office include a desk?
Not necessarily. Ask whether coworking access and meeting rooms are included, charged separately or offered under another plan.
Can an overseas team receive mail there?
Mail services may be available, but the accepted items, notification process, forwarding options and charges depend on the agreement. Confirm the process in writing before relying on the address for important correspondence.

Office Space for Overseas Companies in Taipei JIN SPACE
Setting Up a Business Base in Taipei
Taiwan, 30th Sep 2026 – For a company entering the Taiwan market, the first workspace decision is rarely about square footage. It may be about where a visiting director can meet a partner next week, where business mail should go, or whether a new local hire has a reliable place to work. Those needs can change quickly as the business takes shape.

Taipei offers several ways to establish a working presence without committing to a conventional office from day one. The useful starting point is your team’s schedule: who will be in the city, what they need to do there, and how often they will need the space.
Match the space to the stage of your business
If your team works mainly overseas, a virtual office may provide a Taipei address and agreed support services. It does not necessarily include a desk or meeting room, and the permitted uses of the address depend on the plan.
For people who work in Taipei during visits or on a few days each week, coworking can be a practical next step. Check desk availability, access hours and where members can take calls. A team that works together most weekdays may be better served by a private office, particularly if it needs a consistent setup or regular private conversations.
If the immediate need is to host clients, interview candidates or bring colleagues together, a bookable meeting room may be enough. Ask about capacity, equipment, setup time and visitor access. These options can also be combined: a company might maintain a business address and reserve a room only when its team is in town.
Keep workspace and registration questions separate
A rented desk or business address does not, by itself, settle the administrative requirements for operating in Taiwan. If you intend to use an address for company registration or another official filing, explain your proposed use and business activities to the provider. Confirm what the specific agreement permits and what documents the provider can supply.
Then check the filing requirements with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser. The appropriate process depends on the business and the type of presence it plans to establish. Make that determination before building your launch timetable around a particular address.
Make the location work for your visitors
When colleagues and clients are arriving from different places, clear directions matter as much as a familiar district name. Check the route from the MRT, the building entrance, the correct floor and nearby parking options. Also distinguish the hours when staff can assist visitors from the hours when members may access their workspace.
JIN SPACE is located at 2F-1, No. 415, Section 4, Xinyi Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City. Its published information describes the location as about a four-minute walk from Taipei 101/World Trade Center MRT Station and lists service hours of Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Confirm the arrangements for your visit, especially if your team needs access outside those hours.
Ask for a proposal based on your actual plans
JIN SPACE lists virtual offices, coworking, private offices, meeting space, company setup support and flexible arrangements for enterprises. These are separate service categories, so ask what can be combined and what each quotation includes.
When you enquire, share your expected headcount, start date, days on site and likely meeting schedule. Mention any need for mail handling, address use, equipment or privacy. A written proposal should set out the fees, access hours, included services, extra charges and notice period. You can then choose a starting arrangement that supports the work you have now and revisit it as your Taipei team grows.
Frequently asked questions
Can an overseas company use a virtual office in Taipei?
It may be suitable when the team does not need desks every day. Confirm the services included and the permitted uses of the address under the specific plan.
Do we need a private office to meet clients?
No. Occasional meetings may only require a bookable room. If staff work on site regularly, compare coworking and private office options as well.
What should we tell the workspace provider first?
Share your team size, timeline, working pattern, meeting needs and intended address use. Those details will help the provider recommend a suitable space and identify anything that requires separate confirmation.
