The importance of sustainability: Why eco-friendly blockchains are the future

As more and more decentralized applications (DApps), such as GameFi, DeFi, NFTs, and more, are being developed, heated discussions about the environmental impact of blockchain and cryptocurrency have reignited once more. Especially after China’s crackdown on cryptocurrency mining activities, public debates about blockchain and crypto-related energy consumption rates have reached a climax.

Proof of Work’s environmental impact

Since the birth of Bitcoin, the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism has always been fundamental to the security of blockchain networks. This consensus is reached through computing power, commonly referred to as hash rate.

Over time as blockchain technology is being adopted by the world, the energy consumption rate of the entire blockchain network has skyrocketed, leading to significant environmental costs. The University of Cambridge estimates that Bitcoin mining consumes about 130 TWh per year, accounting for about 0.1% of the world’s total primary energy consumption.

As far as DApp development is concerned, energy consumption-related environmental issues are mostly derived from Ethereum mining, since Ethereum is a PoW blockchain with the largest ecosystem full of projects in varying sizes. With the recent London hard fork, the transition to Ethereum 2.0-a complete Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain, will be completed as early as 2022. As a result, the current energy consumption per transaction on Ethereum is about 35 kWh, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of a single person in developing countries for 3 days.

The true cost of DApp transactions

While mass crypto adoption is happening around the world, DApps and their applicability will eventually catch up. New projects such as wealth management applications, lending platforms, decentralized exchanges (DEX), NFT-inspired metaverses, and more, that are gradually taking over social media and our lives are the ultimate proof. If you have been paying attention to what’s happening around you, the crypto community’s passion and loyalty towards decentralized, immutable technology are clearly reflected in the real world.

That is certainly good news for crypto enthusiasts, but for the environment, it’s an entirely different story. Take NFTs for example. Memo Atken, a digital artist and engineer, estimates that the true cost of an NFT is much higher than a typical energy consumption of a transaction on Ethereum (35 kWh). He believes that NFT-related transactions will cost much more because all NFTs have to be minted and exchanged multiple times on the blockchain.

He is certainly correct. In fact, an NFT’s creation and distribution do not only consist of a simple mint and sale process. There will be many subsequent transactions made by collectors and traders, which makes the average carbon footprint of each NFT close to 340kWh (an average of 211 kg of CO2), equivalent to a single person’s energy consumption in a developed country for more than a month.

Why eco-friendly blockchains are favored by developers

In early 2021, several public blockchains underwent considerable ecosystem expansion, such as ThunderCore, Solana, Polkadot, and Binance Smart Chain. These blockchains’ ecosystems are in full bloom, as decentralized projects like DAOs, Oracles, Token Bridges, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, blockchain games, and more, are being deployed consistently. There are many reasons for the expansion of these networks, but one thing they all have in common is that none of them utilize a PoW consensus mechanism (meaning zero physical mining facilities are used). Instead, novel mechanisms, such as PoS, that allow on-chain staking and other models to replace PoW are applied.

Among them, the ThunderCore blockchain uses the state-of-the-art PoS consensus mechanism, PaLa, which not only solves the “scalability trilemma”, but also supports the chain’s entire ecosystem with cheap renewable energy. ThunderCore is an eco-friendly public blockchain, and its CO2 emissions, resulting from on-chain transactions, are reduced by more than 10,000x. For example, its block creation does not require the support of large amounts of energy resources like Bitcoin and Ethereum do. ThunderCore is also EVM compatible, which allows the rapid migration and deployment of Ethereum projects. With low gas fees (<$0.00001), sub-second confirmations, and 4,000+ TPS, ThunderCore has become a platform favored by developers from the world over.

PlatON 2.0 Established A Decentralized Collaborative Privacy Artificial Intelligence Network

PlatON, a next-generation Internet infrastructure protocol based on the fundamental properties of blockchain, recently combined blockchain, artificial intelligence and privacy computing technology to establish a decentralized collaborative privacy artificial intelligence network, which would take utilization of data to a new level. This network will serve as the infrastructure of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents, who can facilitate advanced artificial intelligence and explore the road to Artificial General Intelligence.

Based on blockchain network, PlatON developers designed a decentralized privacy computing network to connect data, algorithms and hashrate through privacy computing protocols. Autonomous AI agents can obtain the required resources at low cost, train artificial intelligence models and publish them on the network, and interact with other artificial intelligence services or agents to form a self-organizing and cooperative artificial intelligence network. On this network, anyone can obtain artificial intelligence technology or become a stakeholder in its development, and realize the autonomy of artificial intelligence. In addition to practical artificial intelligence services, PlatON aims to use self-organizing swarm intelligence to create a whole larger than the sum of its parts, and advance towards realizing the vision of Artificial General Intelligence.

According to developers, PlatON 2.0 is actively applying research results to new fields such as finance, medicine, smart cities and Internet of Things applications. PlatON, as an AI infrastructure, provides a trustworthy data collaboration environment for hospitals, pharmaceutical enterprises, as well as scientific research institutions, etc. It links activities, research areas, operation modes and data streams of different types and fields to form a large-scale data aggregation effect and maximize the value of medical datasets, including clinical trials, medications, electronic health records, and patients’ genomic data, etc. to form a data analysis and mining system for many technical means, such as pharmacogenomics, disease histology, network pharmacology, and protein structure simulation, so as to speed up the discovery and development of new drugs.

In smart cities, PlatON 2.0 intelligent mobile solutions can be provided in commercial real estate in the city center by using multi-agent artificial intelligence digital services based on blockchain. Using artificial intelligence agents can optimize resource use and reduce the carbon footprint of cities. We predict that the large-scale implementation of smart city infrastructure will lead to a reduction of 34,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year.

Through privacy computing technology, operators, Internet platforms, insurance institutions and other multi-party data open more risk-controlled private domain data labels to cooperate with banks in a confidential way to support financial risk control business. To mitigate the comprehensive credit risk of customers, PlatON 2.0 does not disclose either party’s customer ID and private domain data information, forming a risk joint prevention and control ecology.

Introducing the ThunderCore Iris Hard Fork

The Iris hard fork will increase cross-chain compatibility to the ThunderCore blockchain, marking a new dawn for ecosystem expansion. What will it mean for developers?

Introducing ThunderCore Iris, the next iteration of the ThunderCore blockchain! The Iris hard fork will go live on Mainnet at block height 82312803.

The goal of this major network upgrade is to bring the latest EVM Istanbul features to ThunderCore and further lower the barrier of porting Solidity projects into the ThunderCore ecosystem. Iris complements the performance and security upgrade introduced in the Soter hard fork in December 2020. With the introduction of the Iris hard fork, ThunderCore will become one of the fastest, most secure, EVM-compatible, cross-chain ready,  and developer-friendly public blockchains in the industry!

Why Iris?

Iris is the Greek goddess of communication, messages, the rainbow, and new endeavors. Being represented as a rainbow or as a beautiful young maiden with wings on her shoulders, Iris is the perfect symbol that personifies our incoming hard fork, as the Iris hard fork is meant to bring better cross-chain interoperability to the ThunderCore blockchain, creating a more developer-friendly platform for great projects to scale.

 

Roadmap

The Iris hard fork will be introduced with a phased rollout:

Phase 1: Estimated date: 10/12, Block height: 82312803

During Phase 1 of the Iris hard fork, the goal is to introduce a limited set of changes to ensure the stability of the Phase 2 rollout. The upgrades include:

  1. Move consensus info from consensus transaction to block header

       Note: this should not require major updates to your codebase

  1. Limit the range of eth_getLogs queries to
    1. Testnet: approximately 2 days (2 * 86400 block) (toBlock – fromBlock)
    2. Mainnet: no limit

Note: the change will only affect the Testnet during Phase 1, developers should test the effects of the eth_getLogs change on Testnet during this period so as to prepare for the changes on Mainnet in Phase 2.

  1. Security upgrades

Phase 2: End of the year

During Phase 2 of the Iris hard fork, major upgrades to the ThunderCore blockchain will take place, including:

  1. The ThunderCore go client will be updated to be compatible with geth 1.10.8
  2. EVM opcode upgrades:
    1. EIP-1014: CREATE2

Note: add the CREATE2 opcode to allow interactions to be made with addresses that do not exist yet on-chain but can be relied on to only possibly eventually contain code that has been created by a particular piece of init code. This is very useful when porting Solidity smart contracts to ThunderCore, for example for state channels that involve counterfactual interactions with contracts.

  1. EIP-145: Bitwise shifting instructions in EVM – SHL, SHR and SAR

Note: add bitwise shifting operators in addition to the existing logical and arithmetic operators.

  1. EIP-1344: ChainID opcode

Note: add the CHAINID opcode to return the current chain’s EIP-155 unique identifier inside the smart contract for better cross-chain compatibility.

  1. Limit the range of eth_getLogs queries to
    1. Testnet: approximately 2 days (2 * 86400 block) (toBlock – fromBlock)
    2. Mainnet: approximately 2 days (2 * 86400 block) (toBlock – fromBlock)

Note: developers using eth_getLogs should update your Mainnet code accordingly.

The Iris hard fork brings better cross-chain compatibility to the ThunderCore blockchain thanks to the improved EVM compatibility. Combined with low gas fees, high throughput and industry-leading security, this makes ThunderCore an ideal Layer-1 chain to migrate your DeFi Dapp to. Get ready for never-before-seen Dapps and services on ThunderCore thanks to the Iris hard fork!

CNT uses blockchain technology to help “carbon neutralization”

At a critical moment when environmental problems are increasingly affecting human survival, the world recognizes that achieving “carbon neutralization” is a necessary stage to slow down global warming. Statistics show that more than 120 countries and two-thirds of the economies have joined the great transformation of “carbon neutrality”. 

At present, carbon emission trading is considered as an effective tool to deal with climate change with the market mechanism. Through the carbon dioxide emission quota of the main greenhouse gas, government departments can control the total amount of carbon emission quota, so that the emission control enterprises incorporated into the market are limited by the carbon emission quota, and then through the introduction of the trading mechanism, the optimal allocation of resources can be achieved. Therefore, many countries have initiated the eco chain alliance to focus on the application of blockchain in key application scenarios such as carbon trading ecological network. It can be said that blockchain technology has great application value in helping to achieve the goal of carbon neutralization in the future. 

 CNT foundation is establishing carbon trading agreement, a public blockchain system focusing on carbon neutrality and carbon emissions trading. CNT Foundation believes that blockchain technology can better solve the basic contradictions in the carbon emission market. Similarly, carbon emission trading and carbon offset can alleviate the negative problems brought to the external environment by the blockchain POW consensus mechanism.

Through blockchain technology, CNT can establish a traceability application covering the whole supply chain and fully evaluate the carbon footprint of suppliers, so as to judge whether it can be incorporated into its own supply chain system. Enterprises in the supply chain can also collect and analyze their carbon emission performance through traceability data to reduce carbon emission, improve energy efficiency and optimize business to achieve carbon neutralization. 

The application of blockchain traceability can also improve the transparency of industrial chain and supply chain. With transparent and reliable data, enterprises can make effective carbon disclosure and formulate corresponding carbon compensation schemes, so as to realize the real carbon neutral supply chain and negative carbon supply chain.         

Using blockchain and privacy computing technology, information can be verified but invisible. Through the private key signature authorization of the data owner, the data access right can be temporarily opened to specific potential partners, upstream and downstream enterprises and third-party regulators to verify carbon emission related data. All quantifiable carbon emission data can be shared safely in this way.

Once the concerns about enterprise data security are eliminated, carbon emission data can be circulated and shared at the industrial level, and the value of data can be truly unlocked. This will advance the process of achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. 

If we want to reduce greenhouse emissions to avoid two degrees of temperature rise and even worse climate change, we need to make fundamental technological innovation. Although emission trading markets are potential solutions, they must be improved in order to achieve a certain degree of meaningful emission reduction in market efficiency and scale. Although blockchain technology can theoretically improve these markets, suitable networks that can promote this market transformation have not been developed. In addition, the blockchain network (the most popular blockchain in the past) does not have a design to reduce the impact on the environment. Therefore, in the spirit of decentralization and sustainability, carbon trading agreement has developed into a blockchain carbon sink trading network with carbon neutralization as the core. 

By enabling the carbon trading agreement, the customers on the network will contribute to their carbon neutralization through their transaction fees. The transaction fees are concentrated to purchase real and verifiable carbon sink assets, and then offset the carbon trace of the carbon trading agreement, so as to ensure their de neutralization, carbon trading, carbon neutralization and carbon asset storage. The process is transparent and supervised by various stakeholders in community governance, including CNT holders, verifier nodes and elected committee members, who are encouraged to maintain the security and reliability of the network.

Realizing “carbon neutralization” is one of the major trends in the future. As a new generation of subversive core technology after steam engine, power and Internet, blockchain’s unique personality will play a key role in the carbon trading market. Through the application of blockchain technology, the scale of the global carbon trading market may exceed trillion dollars in the near future. It can be said that there is still a lot of room for development.

The unique community-driven decentralized trading platform in the TECO ecosystem-TDEX

With the rapid development of the globalization of the encryption industry, countries and regions have higher and higher requirements for practitioners. Technology drives industry innovation. International policies, and the introduction and supervision of national laws and regulations drive the birth of a new generation of products.

TDEX is one of them. Because the TECO ecosystem is no longer affected by centralized institutions, the TECO ecological decentralized trading platform TDEX came into being. According to official news, TDEX will be launched in the near future. TDEX is initiated by the TECO overseas community. It is committed to serving the users of the TECO global ecological community and creating a new generation of decentralized exchanges that are truly built for the future of the TT community. It is to promote the TECO global community. A very important step in entering DAO autonomy.

The bottom layer of TDEX is based on: 1. Security of assets (decentralized wallet TECO), 2. Fairness of rules (smart contracts), 3. Diversification mechanism, 4. DAO organization. Truly return to decentralization, and give users in the global community a truly safe, transparent, fair, and ecological place organized by the DAO.

It is worth mentioning that DEX has two major technological innovations. One is the pure contract version of the order-assisted transaction, which has significant advantages in transaction speed and transaction depth compared with Xswap. The second is that TDEX is a native DAPP with user experience in trading. Smoother. In addition, TDEX has also opened a new transaction mining model, where transactions and pending orders are mining, so that investors and traders can achieve a win-win situation under this economic model.

As the representative of TDEX’s overseas operations team said, “No matter from its birth background, development layout, technical characteristics, or diversified trading mechanism, the future value of TDEX is immeasurable”.
