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.

CGTN: How Xi Jinping’s early rural years shaped a lasting pledge to improve lives

Published

on

CGTN published an article exploring how Xi Jinping’s seven years in Liangjiahe shaped his people-centered governance philosophy. It traced how his experiences in the rural village fostered a lifelong commitment to improving lives, influencing China’s poverty alleviation efforts and informing its vision of shared development and global cooperation.

When Xi Jinping arrived in the remote village of Liangjiahe at the age of 15 as part of a campaign that sent educated youths to the countryside, he entered an unfamiliar world of cave dwellings, farm labor and hardship, experiences that shaped his lifelong commitment to serving the people.

The seven years Xi spent in the small village in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province became a defining chapter in his life. He lived alongside farmers, slept on heated brick beds, carried manure, built roads and joined villagers in daily agricultural work. Xi later recalled that those years transformed him from a confused teenager into a young man with a clear sense of purpose and confidence in his future.

Xi joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1974, about five years after he arrived in Liangjiahe. He later became the village’s Party chief and led a number of projects aimed at improving local living conditions. Among them was the construction of Shaanxi’s first methane tank, which brought the first methane-powered lamp to northern Shaanxi and challenged a saying that methane could not be used beyond the Qinling Mountains.

Reflecting on his years in Liangjiahe, Xi wrote that the northern Shaanxi plateau had become his roots because it had instilled in him an enduring conviction to do practical things for the people. He said he will always be a son of the yellow earth no matter where he goes.

That connection endured long after Xi left the village. During his time as Party secretary of Fuzhou City, he returned to Liangjiahe to visit families door to door, bringing financial assistance to elderly villagers and school supplies for children. Later, while serving as a senior provincial official in Fujian Province, he arranged and personally paid for medical treatment for a seriously ill farmer from Liangjiahe.

When Xi revisited Liangjiahe in 2015, he recognized many of the villagers he had worked alongside decades earlier. Greeting them by name, he reminisced about their shared experiences and said that although he had left the village, he had left his heart there.

Since becoming the general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in 2012, he has overseen a nationwide campaign that declared victory over absolute poverty, lifting nearly 100 million people out of poverty. China’s per capita disposable income rose from around 16,510 yuan in 2012 to 43,377 yuan in 2025, according to official data. Improving people’s livelihoods has remained central to the Party’s governance philosophy.

Those achievements reflect the governance philosophy that Xi originated during his early years in Liangjiahe – the original aspiration and founding mission of Chinese Communists is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

The approach has also informed China’s engagement with the wider world. China has expanded exchanges with political parties from different countries and promoted a path of peaceful development aimed at strengthening mutual trust and safeguarding regional and global stability.

China has also advanced initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Development Initiative, presenting them as platforms for shared growth and improved global governance. The initiatives are rooted in the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and are intended to provide Chinese solutions to common development challenges.

The country’s experience in poverty reduction has become part of that message. Having achieved the poverty reduction goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development a decade ahead of schedule, China has stepped up cooperation with developing countries and shared its development experience through bilateral programs and party-to-party exchanges.

CampaignTrackly Launches UTM Campaign Tracking Expert Certification to Address GA4 Attribution Gaps and AI Data Quality Challenges

Published

on

New vendor-neutral, 85-question practitioner certification helps marketing professionals validate their expertise in campaign tracking, UTM governance, analytics readiness, and tracking-link quality control.

United States, 15th Jun 2026 –  CampaignTrackly, a provider of enterprise data governance and campaign tracking solutions, today announced the launch of its official UTM Campaign Tracking Expert (UCTE) certification. The technical, vendor-neutral credential is designed for marketing operations professionals, analytics leaders, demand generation specialists, campaign managers, and digital marketers who need to build, validate, and troubleshoot campaign tracking links with confidence.

Why a Technical Competency  Assessment in UTM Campaign Tracking  is Needed

In today’s decentralized digital marketing environment, campaign attribution depends heavily on the quality and consistency of tracking links. Yet many organizations still rely on disconnected spreadsheet templates, manual URL builders, agency-specific naming conventions, and regional tracking processes to generate campaign URLs.

Growing Data Quality Issues

The result is a growing data quality problem. When tracking parameters are inconsistent, incomplete, or incorrectly structured, campaign performance can be misclassified in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), including in “Unassigned” or “Direct” traffic reports. This reduces reporting confidence, limits visibility into ROI, and can lead to campaign decisions based on incomplete attribution data.

With the Advent of AI Unsolved Campaign Data Problems Will Only Deepen

These challenges are becoming more important as AI tools enter marketing operations. As teams begin using AI to generate campaign names, tracking links, and custom parameters at scale, organizations need stronger governance around how those components are structured, validated, and deployed. Without a shared taxonomy and quality-control framework, automation can quickly multiply inconsistent tracking data across channels.

“Many organizations still treat UTM tracking as a routine administrative task, when it is actually the foundation for reliable marketing intelligence,” said Milena Mitova, Founder of CampaignTrackly. “When tracking query strings are created across disconnected processes, data confidence drops. With AI now accelerating campaign creation, we launched this certification to help establish a practical standard for validating tracking expertise.”

The UTM Tracking Technical Evaluation Measures Campaign Data and Governance Expertise

The UTM Campaign Tracking Expert certification is an independent practitioner assessment designed to validate a professional’s understanding of campaign tracking data integrity, analytics readiness, and tracking-link quality control.

The examination consists of 85 practical, scenario-based questions that must be completed within a 75-minute window. To earn the official certificate, candidates must achieve a passing score of 75% or higher.

What is included in the Test Evaluation

Rather than testing only basic UTM definitions, the certification evaluates a broad range of practical campaign tracking skills. Candidates are tested on their ability to understand the difference between URLs, URL parameters, and UTM parameters; structure tracking links correctly; use core UTM fields such as utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and utm_id; and recognize common mistakes that can create broken links, fragmented reports, or GA4 attribution issues.

Real-world use cases and Tracking Scenarios

The assessment also covers real-world tracking scenarios, including campaign naming conventions, marketing taxonomy, paid media tracking macros, custom URL parameters, separator consistency, hashtag and anchor-link handling, GA4 reporting risks, and pre-launch quality control. The goal is to verify that candidates understand not only what tracking parameters are, but how to apply them correctly across modern campaign operations.

Special Limited-Time Launch Initiative

To introduce these data accuracy standards to the digital marketing community, CampaignTrackly is waiving the testing fee for early adopters. The first 15 qualified marketing professionals to register can attempt the exam free of charge.

Candidates who pass the exam receive a verifiable Professional Certificate of Achievement issued by Leafwire Digital, Inc. and CampaignTrackly.com, suitable for LinkedIn profiles, resumes, and internal professional development records.
