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.

DDPFORWORLD Launches Comprehensive DDP Shipping Solution for Global E-commerce Businesses
DDPFORWORLD, a leading international logistics service provider, proudly introduces its integrated Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping solution. This solution is designed to remove the complexities of cross-border e-commerce for sellers shipping from China to markets worldwide.
December 2025-DDPFORWORLD(KEEYEE LOGISTICS CO.LTD), a trusted name in global logistics and customs compliance, today announced the official launch of its streamlined DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping service. This end-to-end solution empowers e-commerce businesses, particularly those exporting from China to key markets like the USA, Europe, and beyond, to deliver a seamless, transparent, and worry-free customer experience.
The rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce has heightened customer demand for price transparency and hassle-free delivery. Unexpected duties and complex customs procedures remain significant barriers to conversion and customer satisfaction. DDPFORWORLD’s dedicated DDP shipping solution directly addresses this pain point.
Comparison table of DDP service and standard transport (DAP/EXW):

“Our mission is to simplify global trade,” said Camila,- service manager for DDPFORWORLD. “Much like how advanced materials transform construction, a robust DDP logistics framework transforms the post-purchase experience. We handle all logistics, customs clearance, and tax payments, allowing sellers to offer their international customers the simplicity of ‘all-inclusive, door-to-door’ delivery.”
The core advantage of DDPFORWORLD’s service lies in its predictability and reliability. By managing the entire chain—from international freight and export declarations to destination country import clearance, duty & tax payment, and final delivery—businesses can provide a final landed cost at checkout. This eliminates surprise fees for the end-consumer, which is shown to boost checkout conversion rates by an average of 15-30% for high-consideration purchases.
A key feature of the service is its Smart DDP Calculator, a proprietary tool that allows sellers to obtain precise, real-time landed cost estimates before shipping. This enables accurate pricing and protects profit margins.
The company has developed a specialized framework to identify products ideal for DDP shipping from China:
- High-Value Goods: Electronics, luxury items, and precision equipment where customer purchase decisions are sensitive to hidden costs.
- Brand-Centric Products: Subscription boxes, premium goods, and items where a flawless delivery experience is integral to brand loyalty.
- Stable-Compliance Goods: Consumer products like apparel, home goods, and standardized items with clear tariff classifications.
For businesses testing new markets or shipping low-margin goods, DDPFORWORLD also provides expert consultation on alternative Incoterms like DAP, ensuring clients choose the most cost-effective strategy.
“Choosing DDPFORWORLD for DDP shipping is more than a logistics decision; it’s a competitive business strategy,” Camila added. “It transforms a potential friction point into a powerful tool for building trust, enhancing brand reputation, and driving international sales growth.”
Businesses looking to expand their global reach with confidence are invited to explore DDPFORWORLD’s solutions. For more details on DDPFORWORLD’s DDP shipping services, visit: https://ddpforworld.com/ddp-shipping/

Woven Highlights a Shift Toward More Human Centred Marketing Automation as Customer Expectations Evolve in Singapore
As digital tools become more deeply embedded in everyday business operations, organisations across Singapore are taking a closer look at how automation shapes customer relationships.
Singapore, 4th Jan 2026 – As digital tools become more deeply embedded in everyday business operations, organisations across Singapore are taking a closer look at how automation shapes customer relationships.
While marketing automation has helped teams scale communications and streamline workflows, recent industry conversations suggest that businesses are now moving beyond efficiency alone and toward more intentional, human centred engagement.
Recent research in Singapore found that 84% of respondents said their companies were leveraging digital marketing to advertise products and services, underscoring how embedded digital-first engagement has become.
This shift has become especially visible during recent onboarding initiatives, where companies are reassessing how automated systems fit into broader customer journeys. Rather than treating automation as a replacement for human interaction, many organisations are exploring how technology can support relevance, timing, and clarity.
Industry reporting notes that cloud based marketing automation accounted for 66.3% of spending in 2024, highlighting how quickly automation has become a default operating model rather than a “nice to have.”
As a long standing, Woven has observed growing interest in designing automation strategies that reflect real customer behaviour rather than rigid workflows.
Across sectors such as professional services, education, and healthcare, teams are asking the same question. How can automation enhance trust instead of overwhelming audiences with noise.
Automation Maturity in a Crowded Digital Landscape
Over the past decade, automation has become a core part of modern marketing and customer relationship management. Tools that once felt optional are now standard, especially for small and mid sized enterprises competing in crowded digital markets. Email journeys, lead scoring, customer portals, and analytics dashboards are increasingly interconnected.
By late 2025, many organisations are entering a new stage of automation maturity. The conversation is shifting from deployment to optimisation. Businesses are recognising that automation works best when it reflects user intent, supports internal workflows, and stays true to brand voice. When those elements are misaligned, even sophisticated platforms can feel impersonal.
This shift mirrors changing customer expectations. Audiences are more informed, more selective, and more sensitive to how brands communicate. Generic or poorly timed automated messages are easier to ignore, not because automation is ineffective, but because relevance matters more than volume. The 2025 State of Marketing trends coverage also highlights how quickly output expectations are rising, reporting that 51% of marketers now use AI tools, increasing the need for governance and message discipline.
Designing Systems Around Real Customer Behaviour
A notable change in automation strategy is the move toward behavioural context. Instead of triggering communications only through form submissions or fixed time delays, teams are increasingly mapping workflows to user actions, content engagement, and lifecycle stages.
This approach is shaping how CRM platforms are configured during onboarding. Many organisations are prioritising clarity and simplicity over complexity, ensuring workflows support sales and service teams instead of adding administrative burden. The result is stronger alignment across marketing, sales, and customer support, with automation acting as an enabling layer that improves consistency, visibility, and responsiveness while leaving room for human interaction when it matters most.
Why Balance Matters for Growing Businesses
For SMEs, automation choices can shape long term customer perception. Early decisions often set the tone for how a brand communicates as it scales. When systems are designed with care, automation can preserve personal connection even as volume increases.
In Singapore, where efficiency is valued alongside trust and credibility, the question is no longer whether to automate, but how to do so responsibly. That means evaluating message frequency, relevance, and internal ownership, and ensuring automation fits real world operations rather than feature checklists.

Woven is a Singapore based digital experience consultancy that works with organisations to align strategy, technology, and design. The company focuses on building connected systems that support meaningful engagement and sustainable growth across marketing, sales, and service teams.

Aviva Partners with BlackRock to Rebuild Insurance Assets Through Distributed Digital Infrastructure, Ushering in a New Paradigm for RWA Insurance Assets
Amid the accelerating global momentum toward the digitization of real-world assets (RWA), Aviva has announced a strategic collaboration with BlackRock to formally advance the digital issuance, on-chain registration, and intelligent management of RWA-based insurance assets. This initiative aims to drive the migration of traditional insurance assets toward next-generation digital financial infrastructure.

As one of the world’s leading asset management institutions, BlackRock oversees a vast portfolio spanning equities, fixed income, insurance assets, pensions, and a wide range of alternative investments, and exerts profound influence across global capital markets. In recent years, BlackRock has actively explored the digital representation of real-world assets, programmable financial structures, and global digital clearing networks. Its extensive expertise in institutional design, risk management, and cross-market asset allocation provides critical support for integrating RWA insurance assets into emerging digital financial systems.
Within the scope of this collaboration, BlackRock not only brings institutional-grade credit endorsement and capital recognition to RWA insurance assets, but also delivers key support in asset selection standards, risk control models, compliance framework design, and connectivity to global capital channels. Leveraging mature governance structures and a global resource network, the ownership verification, return distribution mechanisms, and risk parameters of insurance assets can be standardized, enabling end-to-end verifiability and auditability.
From a technological architecture perspective, the system is built upon distributed ledger technology and automated smart contract frameworks. Traditional insurance assets are digitally encapsulated and structurally re-engineered, allowing insurance coverage rights, cash flows, and risk models to exist in a unified digital asset form. This architecture supports automated settlement, transparent clearing, and cross-system interoperability, providing foundational infrastructure for institutional-grade financial scenarios and innovative asset management models.
Industry observers note that the deep synergy between Aviva and BlackRock marks a pivotal transition of insurance assets from traditional closed financial systems toward open, composable, and scalable digital financial infrastructure. As real-world asset digitization accelerates and institutional capital continues to enter the space, RWA insurance assets are expected to emerge as a critical value bridge connecting traditional finance with the evolving digital economy.
