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.

Z Security Highlights the Importance of Thoughtful Renovation for Older Homes and Apartments in Croatia

Published

on

ZAGREB, Croatia, 8th Sep 2026 — Renovating an older home or apartment often begins with a simple goal: preserving the character that makes a property unique while adapting it to the needs of modern life. Behind that goal, however, is a series of important decisions that can shape a property’s comfort, functionality, natural light, and long-term usability.

Across Croatia, homeowners, property renovators, new apartment buyers, house builders, investors, and Croatians living abroad are increasingly considering how home renovation in Croatia can improve not only the appearance of a property but also the way it performs and supports everyday living. When renovating older homes in Croatia, decisions about layout, windows, doors, natural light, materials, and quality of installation can have a lasting impact.

Eurostat data shows that Croatia has a predominantly owner-occupied housing market, while the country also has a significant share of older residential properties that require ongoing maintenance and modernization. This makes thoughtful property renovation Croatia projects increasingly relevant for property owners seeking to improve existing homes rather than simply replace them.

For many people, home renovation Croatia is no longer only about creating a more attractive interior. An older property may have a desirable location, solid construction, or architectural features worth preserving while still suffering from limited natural light, outdated openings, or layouts that no longer suit modern lifestyles.

This is where careful planning can help connect the existing character of a property with modern building solutions.

One of the most important considerations during a renovation is the selection of doors and windows. These elements influence more than the appearance of a home. They can affect natural light, the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the overall experience of living in a property.

Depending on the architecture and requirements of a project, aluminium doors and windows can be suitable for contemporary renovations involving large glass surfaces and clean architectural lines. PVC doors and windows may offer a practical option for many different types of residential renovation, while wooden doors and windows can help preserve the visual character of traditional homes.

For property owners looking to combine a natural appearance with contemporary performance, wood-aluminium systems can provide a balance between the warmth of wood and the benefits of modern exterior protection.

In projects where the objective is to create a stronger connection with a terrace, garden, or balcony, sliding glass walls can significantly change how an interior space is experienced. Larger glazed openings can bring more daylight into a home while creating a visual connection between the interior and exterior.

This can be especially valuable when renovating older apartments where natural light is limited or when modernising a home with access to outdoor space. However, these decisions should not be made in isolation. Every older apartment renovation or residential project requires an understanding of the existing property, its structural conditions, its proportions, and the needs of the people who will use it.

Replacing one element without considering the wider property may produce limited results. A carefully planned renovation, on the other hand, can improve several aspects of a home at the same time.

Z Security sees this broader perspective as an important part of modern residential renovation. Through its work with construction and building solutions, the company understands that successful projects often require a careful balance between practical requirements, long-term usability, and the existing character of a property.

From the company perspective, a good renovation does not necessarily mean making every older home look completely new. Instead, it begins by identifying what should be preserved and what should be adapted to meet contemporary needs.

For some properties, this may mean retaining traditional architectural features while introducing new systems and materials. For others, particularly apartments that have recently been purchased, the priority may be improving functionality and adapting the available space to the needs of a family or future occupants.

Entrance doors are another important part of this process. In addition to creating a first impression, they play a practical role in the daily use of a property. Their selection should therefore be considered in relation to the overall design and requirements of the building rather than as a separate purchasing decision.

In certain projects, glass fences may also be relevant, particularly where property owners want to maintain open views from balconies, terraces, or outdoor areas. As with other building elements, however, their use should be based on the needs and architectural context of the specific project.

For Croatians living abroad, renovation can involve an additional level of complexity. Many own family homes, apartments, or inherited properties in Croatia and want to modernise them without being physically present throughout the process. In these situations, reliable communication, experienced planning, and confidence in the construction team can be just as important as the materials selected for the project.

The same applies to investors and buyers considering the purchase of older properties. Croatian home renovation requires looking beyond the current appearance of a building. A property that appears outdated today may have significant potential when its layout, access to natural light, openings, and long-term functionality are properly assessed.

For Z Security, the goal is to support property owners and renovators in making decisions that make sense for both the building and the people who will use it. Rather than following short-term trends, a thoughtful approach to home improvement Croatia begins with practical questions: How will the space be used? Can natural light be improved? Which materials and systems are appropriate for the existing architecture? And will the changes continue to serve the property well in the years ahead?

When it comes to renovating older homes in Croatia, the answer is often not a complete transformation. Sometimes, the most effective improvements come from carefully selected changes that respect the past while preparing a property for the future.

That is the approach Z Security aims to bring to its work: helping homeowners, investors, renovators, and property owners make thoughtful renovation decisions through practical experience, modern building solutions, and an understanding of the long-term needs of residential properties.

CellDe Launches Vision Grade, Replacing Subjective Device Grading With CTIA-Aligned AI Scoring

Published

on

New AI-driven grading module replaces subjective manual inspection with consistent, CTIA-aligned scoring for trade-in, buyback, and refurbishment operations

United States, 8th Sep 2026 CellDe Innovation Labs Pvt. Ltd., a technology company specializing in mobile device lifecycle management, today announced the launch of Vision Grade, an AI-powered cosmetic grading module. Vision Grade is designed to replace subjective, manual device inspection with a standardized, auditable scoring approach aligned with CTIA grading criteria, giving retailers, telecom operators, refurbishers, and IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers a more consistent way to assess device condition at scale. 

Cosmetic grading has long been one of the most inconsistent steps in the trade-in and buyback process. Manual inspection depends on the individual associate performing it, which means the same device can receive a different grade depending on who is behind the counter, how busy the store is, or how carefully each surface is checked. That inconsistency slows down transactions, creates disputes between staff and customers over valuation, and introduces uncertainty for downstream buyers and refurbishers relying on the grade to price a device. 

Vision Grade addresses this by applying AI-powered image analysis to the cosmetic assessment step. The system captures multiple angles of a device, evaluates visible screen and body condition, and produces a standardized grade aligned with CTIA grading criteria, along with a confidence score and a signed digital report for every unit assessed. Because the assessment runs through the same model every time, businesses get a repeatable, objective result instead of a judgment call that can vary from one inspection to the next. 

Cosmetic grading has always been one of the most subjective parts of the trade-in process,” said Ankur Thakur, Managing Director of CellDe Innovation Labs Pvt. Ltd.  

With Vision Grade, we’re giving businesses a consistent, auditable way to assess device condition, so grading decisions no longer depend on who happens to be behind the counter that day.” 

Vision Grade is built to work within CellDe’s broader SmartSuite ecosystem, complementing Smart Trade-In’s existing buyback workflow and Smart Diagnostics’ functional testing. Once a device’s cosmetic condition and functionality are assessed, CellDe’s ADISA-certified Smart Wipe can complete certified data erasure within the same connected process, so grading, diagnostics, and data security are handled as part of one workflow rather than as separate, disconnected steps. CellDe’s information security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. 

For retailers and telecom operators, Vision Grade’s standardized scoring reduces disputes at the point of sale and gives customers a transparent, explainable basis for their trade-in offer. For refurbishers and ITAD operators processing higher device volumes, an AI-driven grade backed by a signed report reduces the back-and-forth that comes with re-grading or disputing a device’s condition further down the supply chain, helping teams move more devices through intake with confidence in the result. 

Vision Grade is available now as part of CellDe’s SmartSuite platform. For more information or to schedule a demo, visit CellDe Smart Trade-In.
