Cardano Carbon Footprint working group
The Cardano Carbon Footprint is currently a set of documents that describe an initial methodology, scoping, challenges and a spread sheet to capture initial numbers on i.e. stake pools numbers and hardware, energy consumption and carbon emissions factors. These documents are are currently refined and formatted to make it easier for a new group ofContinue reading “Cardano Carbon Footprint working group”
Progress report – Cardano Carbon Footprint
We have to be honest, we didn’t manage to work much on the Cardano Carbon Footprint over Christmas. It is still a toss up decisions to either work on the CNC Ala ISPO with multiple deadlines and a large team to keep going OR our Cardano Footprint project. Over the Christmas period the ISPO workContinue reading “Progress report – Cardano Carbon Footprint”
CNC Ala ISPO launch
We are an active member of the Climate Neutral Cardano (CNC) Stake Pool Alliance and have been one of several organisers of the CNC Ala ISPO. This project was in the works since January 2022 and we finally launched our CNC Ala token in Epoch 377 on 21 of November 2022. All details about theContinue reading “CNC Ala ISPO launch”
Cardano Carbon Footprint update
We have now worked for more than 6 month on the Cardano Carbon Footprint project and not published anything here. This is due to many reasons, including the launch of the CNC Ala ISPO that we have been project managing since the beginning of the year with our Climate Neutral Cardano Community. The ISPO justContinue reading “Cardano Carbon Footprint update”
Fix Money! Fix Climate!
Hamish Cunningham, January 2022 Hello! I want to say many things, but the one closest to my heart is that we need a revolution to save us from climate change! Revolutions come in many shapes and sizes, and the blockchain revolution until now has mostly been about fixing the financial system. That’s part of theContinue reading “Fix Money! Fix Climate!”
Cardano uses 10,000x less electricity than Bitcoin
We have been doing numbers before, important numbers like an initial Cardano Stake Pool Carbon Footprint for us and for the Cardano Stake Pools in general, and we will continue to do more numbers to get a better idea on our impact. One important number to take into account when thinking about the climate impactContinue reading “Cardano uses 10,000x less electricity than Bitcoin”
Why #Cardano?
Spoiler: Because it is a positive impact #blockchain. Among all the blockchains out there, Cardano has the ingredients to grow sustainably and at the same time to make the world a better place. Among the many reasons we think Cardano brings more value than older #blockchains is the growing Cardano ecosystem. The ecosystem alone, plusContinue reading “Why #Cardano?”
More trees planted with Trees for Life in Scotland
Our December donation has gone to Trees for Life and increased the tree number in our SHIFT grove from 225 to 300. Donation details here. Check it out on our SHIFT Grove page with Trees for Life. These 300 trees alone make our climate positive, by offsetting all of our emissions and then some. AContinue reading “More trees planted with Trees for Life in Scotland”
A Catalyst Fund7 proposal: The Cardano Carbon Footprint
Blockchains use energy and have a carbon footprint. Cardano is a low energy consuming blockchain, due to its Proof of Stake protocol. It uses about 10.000x less energy per transaction than Bitcoin. (Ref) However, it still uses energy and a lot of other resources that cause carbon emissions. SHIFT Pool, as part of the ClimateContinue reading “A Catalyst Fund7 proposal: The Cardano Carbon Footprint”
