PRODUCT NEWS
🌳 ETH Gets Greener With The Merge 🌳
One of the biggest arguments against Ethereum and your collection of NFTs is going away next month. The Merge, the Ethereum network’s transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism from a proof-of-work (PoW) model, is set to have major implications on ESG. ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance—is a set of standards measuring a business’s impact on society and the environment and how transparently it carries out operations. Specifically, The Merge will reduce the energy consumption of the Ethereum network by 99.95%.
