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.

Jeremy Yono Announces Launch of Financial Education Initiative for Young Entrepreneurs

Published

on

  • New Program Aims to Expand Access to Financial Knowledge, Business Planning Resources, and Long-Term Wealth Education.

Michigan, USA, 16th May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Jeremy Yono has announced the launch of a new financial education initiative designed to support young entrepreneurs with practical financial knowledge and business development resources. Based in Detroit, the initiative will focus on helping aspiring business owners better understand budgeting, financial planning, cash flow management, and long-term financial decision-making as they build and grow their businesses.

The program is being introduced in response to growing demand for accessible financial education tailored to younger professionals and early-stage entrepreneurs. Through educational workshops, digital learning materials, and community-focused discussions, the initiative aims to provide foundational financial guidance that participants can apply to both personal and business-related financial decisions. The launch marks a broader effort to encourage sustainable financial habits among emerging entrepreneurs navigating increasingly competitive economic conditions.

Supporting Financial Literacy for the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

The financial education initiative was developed to address common financial challenges faced by young entrepreneurs, including limited access to financial planning guidance, inconsistent budgeting practices, and uncertainty around long-term business sustainability. The program is expected to provide educational support for individuals at various stages of business development, from startup planning to operational growth.

According to recent business trends, many first-time entrepreneurs enter the market with strong product or service ideas but limited understanding of financial systems, taxes, cash flow forecasting, and responsible expansion strategies. The initiative introduced by Jeremy Yono is intended to help bridge that gap through practical instruction and accessible financial concepts.

The program’s educational focus includes topics such as financial goal setting, debt management, savings strategies, investment fundamentals, emergency planning, and responsible business budgeting. Additional discussions are expected to address risk management, financial discipline, and strategies for adapting to changing market conditions.

“As more young professionals pursue entrepreneurship, there is a growing need for financial education that is practical, understandable, and connected to real-world business challenges,” said Jeremy Yono. “The purpose of this initiative is to create a space where people can build a stronger understanding of financial fundamentals and apply those lessons with confidence as they grow their businesses.”

The initiative also reflects broader conversations surrounding financial literacy and economic opportunity in urban business communities. Detroit has experienced ongoing entrepreneurial growth across industries including technology, creative services, retail, and independent consulting, creating increased demand for educational resources that support long-term business development.

Program Will Include Workshops, Digital Resources, and Community Engagement

As part of the launch, the initiative plans to introduce a series of educational workshops focused on practical financial management for entrepreneurs and independent professionals. These sessions are expected to cover budgeting systems, financial organization, understanding business expenses, and strategies for maintaining financial stability during periods of business growth or economic uncertainty.

In addition to in-person and virtual discussions, the initiative will include digital learning resources designed to make financial education more accessible to broader audiences. Planned materials include educational articles, financial planning guides, and informational content focused on helping entrepreneurs strengthen their understanding of business finance fundamentals.

The initiative will also encourage collaboration among entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals interested in improving financial awareness within their communities. By combining education with open discussion, the program aims to create opportunities for participants to exchange insights and experiences related to entrepreneurship and financial planning.

Detroit’s business landscape continues to evolve as more individuals pursue independent business ownership and alternative career paths. Financial education advocates have increasingly emphasized the importance of financial literacy in supporting long-term business sustainability, particularly among younger entrepreneurs entering competitive industries.

Jeremy Yono noted that many entrepreneurs focus heavily on product development or marketing while overlooking the importance of financial structure and planning during the early stages of business growth. The initiative seeks to encourage a more balanced approach by highlighting the role financial organization plays in operational stability and long-term decision-making.

“Strong financial habits can have a lasting impact on both personal and professional growth,” Yono said. “Entrepreneurs often face unpredictable challenges, and understanding how to manage finances responsibly can help create more flexibility and stability over time.”

The program is also expected to highlight the importance of long-term planning rather than short-term financial decision-making. Educational topics may include retirement planning for entrepreneurs, responsible investment strategies, and approaches to maintaining sustainable business operations during economic fluctuations.

Expanding Access to Practical Financial Education

The launch of the initiative reflects ongoing efforts to expand financial education opportunities beyond traditional academic settings. Many entrepreneurs develop their businesses independently without formal financial training, creating demand for accessible educational programs focused on practical application rather than technical theory alone.

Jeremy Yono’s initiative is intended to provide approachable financial education that aligns with the realities faced by small business owners and emerging professionals. By focusing on clear communication and practical instruction, the program aims to help participants develop stronger confidence in managing financial responsibilities tied to entrepreneurship and business growth.

The initiative also aligns with broader national conversations about financial literacy and economic mobility, particularly among younger generations pursuing independent business ownership. Industry observers continue to emphasize that financial education plays a critical role in supporting sustainable entrepreneurship and long-term economic participation.

Future plans for the program may include expanded workshop offerings, collaborative business events, and additional educational partnerships focused on strengthening financial awareness within entrepreneurial communities.

Aimelisz Introduces Glow Cleanser, a Minimalist Daily Cleanser Created for Sensitive and Dry Skin

Published

on

London, United Kingdom, 16th May 2026 – Aimelisz has officially introduced a Glow Cleanser, a newly developed facial cleanser formulated to provide a gentle yet effective cleansing experience for individuals with sensitive, dry, and normal skin types. The launch reflects the brand’s continued focus on skincare solutions that prioritize comfort, simplicity, and skin balance without relying on aggressive ingredients or complicated routines.

Created as an all-in-one cleansing solution, their Glow Cleanser is designed to remove makeup, SPF, excess oil, and everyday impurities in a single step while helping maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance. The formula aims to leave skin feeling refreshed, calm, and hydrated after cleansing, avoiding the tight or stripped sensation commonly associated with many traditional face washes.

The cleanser features an alcohol-free and fragrance-free composition developed specifically for skin that is prone to dryness, irritation, or sensitivity. Rather than encouraging harsh exfoliation or multiple cleansing stages, the product was created to support a more streamlined skincare routine centered around daily comfort and consistency.

According to the company, the inspiration behind their Glow Cleanser came from growing consumer demand for skincare products that feel gentle on the skin while still delivering effective cleansing performance.

A spokesperson for Aimelisz stated that many consumers experience ongoing frustration with cleansers that disrupt the skin barrier or leave the complexion feeling dry and uncomfortable after use. The company explained that their Glow Cleanser was developed to offer a softer alternative that fits naturally into everyday skincare routines without overwhelming the skin.

The cleanser has been formulated to support several key skincare concerns, including:

  • Removing makeup, SPF, and surface impurities in one cleansing step
  • Helping skin feel hydrated and balanced after cleansing
  • Reducing feelings of dryness and post-wash tightness
  • Supporting sensitive and easily reactive skin types
  • Simplifying lengthy multi-step cleansing routines

Aimelisz continues to position its skincare philosophy around creating products that encourage a slower, more restorative approach to self-care. The brand focuses on formulas inspired by comfort, softness, and practical everyday skincare experiences rather than overly complicated regimens.

The ‘Glow Cleanser’ is now available through the brand’s official website.

Pink Moon Launches Wearable Affirmation Jewelry Brand

Published

on

FIT Graduate Riza Baah Builds a Brand at the Intersection of Neuroscience, Faith, and Fashion. New Direct-to-Consumer Collection Transforms Everyday Jewelry Into a Daily Practice of Speaking Life

United States, 16th May 2026 — At a time when science and scripture are converging on a powerful truth about the human voice, one emerging jewelry brand is turning that truth into something you can wear.

Pink Moon, founded by soon-to-be Fashion Institute of Technology graduate Riza Baah, officially launched today with its debut Unfailing Love Collection— a line of stackable rings and everyday earrings designed not merely as accessories, but as wearable affirmations. Each piece is intentionally created to serve as a daily, physical reminder of the wearer’s values: love, confidence, growth, and belonging.

The Science Behind the Mission: Why Words — and What We Wear — Matter

Pink Moon’s founding premise is backed by a growing body of peer-reviewed research. Studies published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience journal confirm that self-affirmations — the practice of intentionally reflecting on one’s core values — activate the brain’s reward system, specifically the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC). This is the same neural region that responds to genuine positive experiences.

The implications are significant. Research from Carnegie Mellon University found that a brief self-affirmation activity could enable individuals with high chronic stress to perform at the same cognitive level as those with low stress. Additional studies published in Psychological Science confirmed that affirmations are most effective when used proactively — before stressful situations — and that their benefits, including reduced cortisol levels and improved psychological well-being, can persist for weeks when practiced consistently.

Critically, research shows that affirmations are most powerful not as empty phrases, but when they are rooted in the wearer’s genuine, personal values. This is precisely the design philosophy behind every Pink Moon piece.

This science aligns with one of history’s most enduring truths. Proverbs 18:21 declares: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Pink Moon was founded at this intersection — where ancient wisdom meets modern neuroscience — with the belief that what we choose to declare over ourselves, and what we choose to wear close to our bodies, are both acts of intentional self-creation.

The Unfailing Love Collection: Jewelry Designed to Be Lived In

The debut collection centers on stackable rings and everyday earrings crafted from durable, lightweight materials designed for continuous daily wear. The stackable architecture is intentional — wearers can layer pieces over time, building combinations that reflect personal milestones, evolving values, and different chapters of their lives.

Each design concept represents a theme — confidence, love, transformation, growth, belonging — making the act of getting dressed each morning an intentional, affirmation-grounded ritual. With every purchase, Pink Moon also contributes to a monthly donation supporting Lifesong for Orphans, extending the brand’s mission of love and affirmation far beyond its customer base.

“I started Pink Moon because I wanted jewelry that reminded me of who I am and what I believe in. So many products today focus on trends or appearance. I wanted to create pieces people could wear every day that quietly represent confidence, growth, or belonging. Something simple but meaningful.” — Riza Baah, Founder, Pink Moon

A Brand Built for a Generation Seeking Meaning

Pink Moon enters a jewelry market experiencing a meaningful consumer shift. Gen Z and younger millennial consumers are increasingly drawn to brands that reflect individuality, personal values, and emotional resonance over status or trend. The growing mainstream interest in self-affirmation practices — validated by the American Psychological Association and covered widely in wellness and lifestyle media — has created a culturally receptive moment for a brand that makes those practices wearable.

Baah founded the brand while studying advertising and marketing at FIT, identifying a gap between what jewelry looks like and what her generation wants it to mean. Pink Moon is her answer to that gap.

Availability

The Unfailing Love Collection is available now exclusively through Pink Moon’s e-commerce platform at pinkmoon.com.co, with shipping available across the United States.

About Pink Moon

Pink Moon is a direct-to-consumer jewelry brand redefining what everyday jewelry can represent. Founded by soon-to-be FIT graduate Riza Baah, the brand creates rings and earrings designed as wearable affirmations — pieces built not just for how they look, but for what they stand for. Rooted in the belief that words shape identity and biology, and inspired by both modern neuroscience and timeless faith, Pink Moon designs jewelry that symbolizes values such as confidence, growth, love, and belonging. Each piece serves as a daily, intentional reminder of who the wearer is and who they are becoming. Pink Moon’s debut Unfailing Love Collection is available now at pinkmoon.com.co.
