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.

Stellar Furniture Showcases Innovations at ORGATEC 2026, Strengthening Its Global Industry Presence
Stellar Global presented its latest office furniture range at ORGATEC Cologne 2026, held from 27th to 30th October at Koelnmesse Exhibition Centre, Germany. The showcase brought its contemporary office chair and desk designs to an international industry platform, while creating opportunities to connect with buyers, discuss commercial project requirements and explore potential business collaborations.
Foshan, Guangdong, China, 7th Nov 2026 – Stellar Global participated in ORGATEC Cologne 2026, one of the leading international exhibitions for modern office and workspace environments. At Hall 8, Stand A48, the company presented its latest furniture designs, reflecting its focus on creating products suited to the practical demands of contemporary workplaces.
The display featured a selection of office chairs and desks developed around key considerations such as user comfort, ergonomics and structural functionality. With workplace needs continuing to evolve, furniture must serve more than a visual purpose; it must also support everyday use, offer practical value and work effectively within different office settings. These considerations informed the range presented by Stellar Global at the exhibition.
The event also offered an opportunity to take these product conversations beyond the exhibition floor. Stellar Global’s team met with international buyers, business partners and industry professionals, discussing commercial office projects, customised requirements and possible applications across different workplace settings. Dedicated booth walkthroughs allowed visitors to explore the displayed range and discuss their specific project needs directly with the team.
For Stellar Global, participation at ORGATEC was also an opportunity to gain a closer understanding of changing industry expectations and engage with professionals shaping the future of office environments. Such interactions are valuable in informing product development, identifying emerging requirements and building business relationships across markets.
Speaking about the experience, Mr. Arihant Nahar, CEO, Stellar Global, said, “It was encouraging to meet people from across the industry and have meaningful conversations about what today’s workplaces need. ORGATEC gave us the opportunity to present our latest designs, hear different perspectives and discuss how our products can serve a range of commercial projects. We look forward to building on these conversations beyond the exhibition.”
Stellar Global’s participation at ORGATEC Cologne 2026 reflects its continued engagement with the international office furniture market.

Personal documents, financial information, passwords, memories and personal wishes, kept in one secure place and passed on when it matters
Dubai, UAE, November 7th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Soult held its UAE launch on 2 November 2026 at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, bringing its secure digital life vault to families across the Emirates. The app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Soult keeps the information a family needs when something happens to the person who manages it: ID and KYC documents, property and investment records, insurance policies, passwords, nominee details, medical wishes, photographs and personal messages.
What sets it apart from document storage is the handover. Users name nominees and executors in advance and decide exactly what each person can see. Soult releases only what the user chose, to the people they chose.
The UAE is a natural market for Soult. Many residents are expatriates whose documents, bank accounts and property sit in more than one country, which makes it harder for families to find and claim what is theirs.
“Families here often live a life split across countries: a house in their home country, an account in Dubai, a policy nobody else knows about,” said Mohammed Saleem, co-founder and CEO of Soult. “Soult makes sure the people you love can find all of it when it matters most.”
Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit, with keys managed through AWS KMS. Soult is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and no one at Soult, including support staff and administrators, can read a user’s vault.
Soult – World’s first secure digital life vault.
Secure. Preserve. Pass On.
