Environmental Impact

Ethereon - A New Era of Sustainable Blockchain Consensus

Environmental Impact

Ethereon’s PoST consensus mechanism significantly reduces the energy consumption typically associated with blockchain networks. By utilizing already-existing hard drive space, Ethereon minimizes the need for additional hardware and energy-intensive computations.

Environmental Benefits:

  • Reduced Energy Consumption: Up to 95% less energy than PoW blockchains.

  • Lower Carbon Footprint: Encourages environmental sustainability by reducing the need for large-scale mining operations.

  • Minimal E-Waste: The use of over-allocated hard drive space reduces hardware waste.
