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.

Press Release

Former PlayStation CTO publishes Ink and Blessing on Amazon, Reimagining Baby Boy and Girl names in kanji

Published

on

Top baby names from England and Wales are reimagined through Ateji, pairing sound and meaning in auspicious kanji.

Tokyo, Japan, 17th Jun 2026 – Office Chatani, Inc. (President and CEO: Masayuki Chatani) has released worldwide on Amazon the book series *Ink & Blessing (England & Wales Edition)*, which reinterprets the meanings and blessings embedded in names through Japan’s traditional kanji culture.

Based on the Top 50 baby names in England and Wales published by the Office for National Statistics, the 2026 edition applies the traditional Japanese technique of Ateji, pairing sound with meaning through carefully selected kanji. Intended for readers in the United Kingdom and beyond, the books introduce a Japanese perspective in which parental wishes are entrusted to the meaning of each character. Kanji are carefully selected to harmonize with the sound of each name while conveying auspicious and beautiful meanings.

Rather than a simple translation, the series presents names as poetic expressions by layering sound and meaning, proposing a new form of naming where culture and art intersect. These Japanese names-inspired interpretations offer a new perspective on name meaning while bridging Western naming traditions and Japanese culture.

 

Beyond Translation: The Harmony of Sound and Meaning in Ateji

The selection of kanji in this book goes beyond literal or sequential translation. While Western naming conventions often rely on historical or religious references, the Japanese writing system allows each character to function independently as both meaning and sound. Rather than mechanically substituting information, this work applies Ateji by matching the phonetics of English-language names with kanji that carry auspicious meanings, adding new cultural value.

For example, the name “Oliver,” which remains popular in the United Kingdom and derives from the olive tree, a symbol of peace. This book assigns the kanji (O-Ri-Ba). This interpretation expresses a wish for a life guided by sound principles and flourishing prosperity, conveying not merely characters but the deeper intention carried within the name.

 

From Digital Extremes to the Timeless Value of Ink

Masayuki Chatani, former CTO of Sony Computer Entertainment and a key architect of the PlayStation platform, is now active as a digital and AI advisor for executives. His return to the analog world of calligraphy reflects a desire to redefine value through the fusion of advanced technology and traditional culture.

Having spent decades designing software systems, Chatani defines kanji as a refined logical code of the human spirit developed over thousands of years. In an era where information is increasingly abstracted into data, this book was conceived from the belief that handwritten calligraphy remains an essential cultural asset to be passed on to future generations.

Ateji, a “Blessing Code,” is where digital innovation and tradition intersect.

Key Features

– Fusion of tradition and modernity: Popular names from England and Wales redefined through traditional Ateji.
– Original calligraphy: All brushwork featured in the books was created and digitized by Masayuki Chatani, who also works as a calligrapher under the art name KouTetsu Chatani.
– Personal discovery: An opportunity to explore hidden layers of name meaning and uncover new perspectives on identity.

Practical and Cultural Applications

This series is designed not only as a name reference, but also as a cultural and artistic resource.

1. Use as a gift or for appreciation
Featuring original calligraphy by KouTetsu Chatani, the hardcover edition is particularly suitable as a new baby gift or as a present for enthusiasts of Japanese culture.

2. Inspiration for naming
The books provide a new perspective by integrating Japanese character-based intentions into Western naming traditions, including contemporary baby boy names and girl names.

3. Promotion of multicultural understanding
By engaging with the structure of kanji and the logic of Ateji, readers gain deeper insight into cultural concepts unique to the Japanese language.

Press Release

Enso Markets Expands Multi-Jurisdictional B2B Compliance and Infrastructure

Published

on

Hong Kong, China, 17th Jun 2026 – In the institutional proprietary trading industry, the backend brokerage infrastructure plays a critical role in operational stability. As the market matures, proprietary trading firms increasingly require professional partners that offer transparent fund custody, institutional-grade execution, and clear operational accountability.

Enso Markets Ltd, a specialized B2B financial services provider, has structured its framework to serve as an institutional infrastructure partner for proprietary trading firms and institutional clients. Operating primarily in the B2B space, the company focuses on providing licensed execution infrastructure, white-label brokerage solutions, and specialized platform access.

Corporate Positioning and B2B Operations

Headquartered in Hong Kong at Lee Garden Three, Causeway Bay, Enso Markets Ltd (trading as EnsoMarket) coordinates its B2B operations through optimized trading servers located in Singapore. Over its approximately two years of operation, the company has deliberately focused on the corporate institutional sector rather than the direct retail trading market.

As the global prop trading ecosystem shifts toward models backed by formal financial infrastructure, the demand for clear oversight behind trading challenges has expanded. Enso Markets addresses this demand by delivering the technical and institutional framework required for institutional partners to manage volume systematically.

Multi-Jurisdictional Compliance Framework 

To establish a verifiable infrastructure footprint, Enso Markets has implemented a multi-layered regulatory and technical registration structure across multiple jurisdictions:

  1. US FinCEN MSB Registration: Enso Markets Ltd is registered as a Money Services Business (MSB) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury (Registration Number: 31000332540815). This registration aligns the entity’s transaction monitoring and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance structures with federal frameworks under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).
  2. Financial Services Authority Footprint: The company holds an international financial services registry under the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Saint Lucia (Company Registration Number: 2025-00575), providing a formalized framework for handling corporate international accounts and segregated administrative processes.
  3. MetaQuotes MT5 Master Infrastructure: On the technical layer, Enso Markets operates under a MetaTrader 5 (MT5) Master License issued directly by MetaQuotes. This institutional license grants the entity the capability to deploy and maintain server environments for downstream enterprise partners, ensuring that platform delivery complies directly with developer infrastructure standards.
  4. Specialized Trading Framework: The corporate ecosystem incorporates dedicated operational frameworks tailored specifically to the funded trader and proprietary trading structure, distinguishing its business model from standard retail brokerage activities.

Institutional Infrastructure Over Retail Metrics 

Because Enso Markets operates strictly on a B2B infrastructure model, its market footprint differs fundamentally from retail-facing brokers. The company’s operational compliance and performance metrics are verified through institutional dispute records, maintaining a clean record with zero operational withdrawal disputes or platform anomalies over its operational history.

Conclusion 

Enso Markets represents the evolving shift in the trading infrastructure sector toward specialized, B2B-focused institutions capable of supporting institutional clients with clear compliance credentials. By combining US federal-level FinCEN registrations with advanced MetaQuotes server deployment, the entity provides a structured and resilient framework tailored to the modern requirements of the proprietary trading industry.

Explora Books Showcases What Seems to Be the Mystery at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair

Published

on

Explora Books showcases What Seems to Be the Mystery: My Reflections by Nadeige Sanon Davilmar at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, this June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing.

Released in May 2026 through Trilogy Christian Publishing, What Seems to Be the Mystery is a work of Christian reflection that invites readers to engage more deeply with scripture and explore its spiritual meaning. Written by Haitian-born, New York-based nurse and theologian Dr. Nadeige Sanon Davilmar, the book presents the author’s central perspective that “the Bible is a coding book that can be understood only with the help of the Holy Spirit.”

Blending personal testimony with theological reflection, Davilmar frames the book as both an exploration of faith and an invitation to spiritual dialogue. Through her writing, she seeks to encourage readers to approach scripture with openness, reflection, and a desire for deeper understanding.

“I am sure, like myself, there are many other people who are searching for the truth. And this book is like an opening to find the essence of the Bible,” Davilmar writes.

Guided by the proverb, “From the clashes of ideas gushes the flow of light,” the book emphasizes conversation and continued spiritual growth.

Central to Davilmar’s interpretation is the idea that scripture contains layers of meaning that extend beyond a surface reading. She describes the Bible as a “coding book,” proposing that its deeper truths are revealed through faith, reflection, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Through this framework, the book encourages readers to consider scripture not only as a historical and religious text but also as a source of ongoing personal and spiritual discovery.

Driven by her belief in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Davilmar uses personal experience and spiritual reflection to encourage readers in their own search for meaning and purpose. Rather than presenting definitive answers, the book positions itself as an opening for contemplation and discussion, inviting readers to reflect on faith and engage with scripture in a personal way.

Dr. Nadeige Sanon Davilmar was born in Jacmel, Haiti, and has lived in New York City since 1984. Alongside a long-standing career as a nurse at Kings County Hospital, she has remained active in Christian ministry and theological study. Supported in her ministry by her husband, Pastor Clovis Davilmar, she brings together perspectives shaped by both healthcare and faith, informing the reflections presented throughout What Seems to Be the Mystery.

Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair can view this reflective work of Christian spirituality at Explora Books’s booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing. 

What Seems to Be the Mystery: My Reflections is available through Amazon and other major digital bookstores.
