Sustainability in Blockchain Technology?
In the context of advancing digitalisation, sustainability, resource intensity and energy efficiency are key concerns of blockchain technology. Our new guide “Rethinking Blockchain’s Electricity Consumption – A Guide to Electricity-Efficient Design of Decentralized Data Infrastructure” shows how blockchains can be designed to be more energy-efficient.
In collaboration with Fraunhofer FIT, we present a guide that not only identifies solutions, but also provides a deeper understanding of blockchain’s electricity consumption.
The publication offers in-depth insights into:
- Background on the selection of the consensus mechanism
- 10 tools for the use case-appropriate design of blockchains
- Guiding questions for the analysis of use cases with regard to performance and IT security
