The unveiling of the emission dashboard comes at a time of increasing scrutiny on blockchain platforms in light of how their activities contribute to climate change. For instance, using proof of work transaction validation on Bitcoin, or mining, consumes a substantial amount of energy and contributes to carbon emissions. The realization is part of the motivation for the second-largest blockchain Ethereum to migrate to the proof of stake consensus model last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
