Solving Bitcoin’s energy problem
The Bitcoin network uses more electricity than about 160 individual countries. A single Bitcoin transaction uses more electricity than an average British household in two months. If nothing is done, its detrimental impact on the climate will continue to increase. In order to have a significantly beneficial environmental impact, a paradigm shift to less carbon-intensive cryptocurrencies must occur. We aim to embody this change. Each time a transaction will occur on our network in lieu of Bitcoin, carbon credits will be generated.
The Bitcoin network performs around 100 billion billion computations per second. Specialized hardware is needed to stay competitive, and its short lifespan before obsolescence makes the Bitcoin mining activity a huge electronic waste generator. E-waste footprint of a single Bitcoin transaction is equivalent to that of 20,000 VISA transactions. Our network doesn’t need specialized hardware, and simple servers using low resources make its e-waste footprint insignificant in comparison.
