Green crypto: Tron and Cardano’s green thumbs, big-eyed coin to follow soon
Sustainability has been a concern of ours since the dawn of modern technology. Computers and cell phones have solved many problems, but have left us with another problem; how do we retain the convenience of technology without neglecting the environment? Tron, Big Eyes Coin and Cardano are some of the crypto players playing their part in environmental protection and conservation.
Throne
Launched in 2017 by the Tron Foundation, it claims to be one of the most energy-efficient cryptocurrencies on the market, which is further supported by the Crypto Carbon Rankings institute, a research group focused on reducing carbon emissions from crypto projects. The research says the platform uses its Delegated Proof-of-stake mechanism to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
The research further states that the energy consumption of other crypto projects is between 22 million kWh and 83 million KWh, but Tron’s energy consumption is an astounding 162,868 kWh.
Big Eyes Coin
The latest soon-to-be player in the crypto market has brought a completely different concept.
Not only is their mascot a furry cat, but they are also dedicated to saving the oceans. The platform pledges 5% of its total earnings to marine conservatories, which is extremely attractive to investors looking to expand their eco-conscious activities.
The platform has earned over $30 million so far in pre-sales and has released many pre-opening perks such as loot boxes that users can purchase and have a chance to either win up to $100,000 or get their money back in tokens. This has brought many eager investors to the door.
Cardano
One of the major problems faced with crypto mining is the need for many computers that can mine crypto efficiently, and this creates the problem of too many carbon emissions being emitted. However, Caradon does not have this problem. Similar to the Tron mechanism, Cardano’s proof-of-stake mechanism allows the platform to not rely on energy-intensive mining and significantly reduces its carbon footprint, consuming only 6GWh of electricity.
As technology evolves and with it, Cryptocurrency, we need to find a way to keep the convenience and revolutionary effect of this without causing harm to the environment. Sustainability will eventually become a strict practice for all technology-focused industries, and for crypto to continue in its bright future, it will need a green aspect. Mining requires tons of power and electronic resources, which release harmful energy into the environment. Just as these platforms are concerned about the size of their footprint, others will need to start working to either reduce their environmental impact.
