While blockchain technology holds transformative potential, it also comes with challenges. The process of issuing many forms of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin is currently energy intensive and has rightfully come under scrutiny for its environmental impact. We’ve done a lot of investigation, and we kindly ask supporters to donate cryptocurrencies which use the less energy intensive validation protocol, Proof-of-Stake. Currencies that use Proof-of-Stake include Ethereum, Cardano, Polygon, Solana and many more. Compared to cryptocurrencies that use Proof-of-Work validation protocols, Proof-of-Stake currencies are 99.9% less energy intensive. In addition, our partners in The Giving Block will be buying carbon credits to offset twice the amount of carbon emissions created through the donations created on their platform. This is done via their TGB Green initiative. The energy impact of crypto currency is an evolving issue and one that will be important for us to monitor and adapt accordingly. Given that the actual transactions, including donations, are not particularly energy intensive, we have decided to make this option available for supporters who would like to donate their cryptocurrency.
