New analysis uncovers innovative approach to crypto blockchains: ‘Edge computing’
Recent discoveries about green crypto blockchains raise the question: Are the environmental offsets enough to popularize the technology en masse?
Traditional blockchains are primarily powered by overworked energy grids, but green blockchains aim to mitigate that usage by using more sustainable energy sources.
According to the Blockchain Council, “Proof of Work chains consume large amounts of power. Switching to greener systems addresses public and government criticism.”
“Proof of Work” is a crypto term for the security mechanism that crypto miners use to ensure the hashes they use in crypto transactions are valid and verifiable.
However, because PoW is costly in both efficiency and energy due to the complex…
