In 2021, the value of transactions for digital collectibles and other forms of NFTs hit $44.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notwithstanding their massive popularity, they have been met with backlash for using too much energy through energy-intensive Proof-of-Work consensus mechanisms, says a recent report titled\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/linuxfoundation.org\/tools\/carbon-footprint-of-nfts\/\">\u201cThe Carbon Footprint of NFTs: Not All Blockchains Are Created Equal\u201d<\/a>\u00a0issued by the Linux Foundation.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNFTs are villainized as environmental travesties, fuelled by nightmarish proportions of energy that are destroying the planet,\u201d said the report, which cited\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/smarterwithgartner\/3-themes-surface-in-the-2021-hype-cycle-for-emerging-technologies\">Gartner\u2019s technology cycle<\/a>\u00a0to say that NFTs are at the \u201cpeak of inflated expectations\u201d now.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Future Roadmap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report lays out a future roadmap for how NFTs, called \u201cunique inventions in human history,\u201d can be launched in more sustainable ways.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Produced in partnership with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/palm.io\/\">Palm NFT Studio<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyperledger.org\/\">Hyperledger Foundation<\/a>, this report lays out key climate-related barriers to NFTs and suggests some strategies for embracing and building on the exciting innovations that NFTs enable.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdopting these strategies may unlock new opportunities for global collaborations and partnerships for impact through responsible and potentially beneficial approaches to climate solutions. We hope it will help organizations consider what matters beyond the hype and undertake innovative initiatives in a climate-friendly way,\u201d the report noted.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, the report suggests that the NFTs should avoid proof-of-work blockchains, look at the process end to end, pick a lightweight blockchain, seek innovative alternatives and offset (with verifications), what is left and, finally, cement commitments.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Avoid PoW blockchains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The single biggest and easiest step is to steer clear of PoW blockchains, which basically means avoiding the Ethereum mainnet (still accounting for the bulk 80%) of NFT market share by market capitalization.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis simple step can reduce an NFT\u2019s carbon footprint by an order of magnitude,\u201d the report said. \u201cUntil Ethereum PoS is up and running with proof of stake, it\u2019s difficult to recommend using this NFT carbon behemoth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It says that for those who already own an NFT collection on Ethereum, then simply leaving it at rest may not be the best course of action.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMoving to an Ethereum based NFT collection to another blockchain will consume even more power, and so it\u2019s best to wait until the proof of stake arrives. But if a transaction is unavoidable, then moving it off the mainnet may be the best available approach, along with offsets to make the transaction carbon neutral,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn fact, even if an Ethereum NFT is left at rest, the purchase of offsets is worth considering to offset the original process of minting and purchasing it, bringing an NFT into a carbon-neutral state,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Move to Proof-of-Stake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving to alternative consensus mechanisms would help reduce blockchain\u2019s carbon footprint, protect against coordinated mining power, and overcome blockchain scaling challenges.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proof of Stake mechanism systems already exists through companies like Tezos and Beacon Chain. Ethereum PoS, which is promising in improvements in energy consumption, is not yet available. In the meantime, they could opt for such strategies as Layer 2 solutions, a series of lightweight transactions grafted to an existing blockchain, and efficient public blockchain alternatives such as Cardano (proof of stake) and Solana (proof of history) and sidechains (some of the most energy-efficient blockchain solutions are available through sidechains and private blockchains.)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stakeholder commitments are key. \u201cWhile technology choices are important, change can\u2019t happen without bringing stakeholders onboard. In many cases, that starts with a commitment by ecosystem stakeholders. This engagement, right from the start, was key to getting participants onboard and committed to the process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stakeholder engagement from the beginning helps pave the way for a project and reduces the risk of potential knee-jerk negative responses via social media.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor proponents of NFTs, this is just the beginning. They represent an opportunity for innovation across a number of different industries. However, not all NFTs are equal\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linux Foundation Research, in collaboration with Hyperledger Foundation and Palm NFT Studio, has conducted a new research project to explore the environmental impact of NFTs, including those using Hyperledger Besu, investigating how and why NFTs can have varying carbon footprints depending on underlying technology stacks.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study uses qualitative methodologies to capture insights from carbon market experts, blockchain innovators, and open source community leaders. It describes the process by which innovators can choose sustainability by design. Finally, this research draws upon reviewed papers that have calculated and compared levels of energy use and impact.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report is published in collaboration with a team of experts in climate change including Katherine Foster of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q%3Dhttps:\/\/www.openearth.org\/%26amp;sa%3DD%26amp;source%3Deditors%26amp;ust%3D1651040138828028%26amp;usg%3DAOvVaw2gCH9ZnXR2oXEUFca4NhFH&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1651040138835654&amp;usg=AOvVaw1c0-CuKbC7l8skjqLGwb9n\">\u00a0Open Earth Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and advisor to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q%3Dhttps:\/\/www.impactnft.org\/advisorycouncil%26amp;sa%3DD%26amp;source%3Deditors%26amp;ust%3D1651040138828446%26amp;usg%3DAOvVaw29gQZGMKEYALScXbLXb8EF&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1651040138835821&amp;usg=AOvVaw1YV9JNaXA6Npp7sYoSPSn4\">ImpactNFT Alliance<\/a>. \u201cThis report provides a robust and balanced analysis of the challenges and opportunities of NFTs and the blockchain landscape that underpins a rapidly evolving global impact innovation ecosystem. It offers concrete recommendations \u2013 for new and incumbent actors alike \u2013 to navigate the path toward sustainability,\u201d Foster noted.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Carbon-friendly NFTs are possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original question driving the report was, \u201cAre carbon-friendly NFTs possible\u201d?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe answer, the report found, is a definitive yes, if the entities issuing or using NFTs are prepared to dig into the implementation details and make the right series of technology and blockchain choices,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vast energy requirements of the first generation of Ethereum NFTs are no longer a limiting factor. Many eco-friendly options already exist and, in this rapidly evolving landscape, the future will only get better as some of the worst offenders move to proof of stake, not to mention the growing number of other emerging alternatives.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNFTs can offer exciting climate-friendly options for a wide variety of projects. NFTs and smart contracts may also unlock valuable new strategies and options for tackling climate change itself. Innovators are already exploring the securitization of carbon, the engagement and mobilization of citizens, and even endowing nature itself with rights and protections mediated by smart contracts. The choices are up to you,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image: Wikimedia Commons<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the authors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe Pan is a contributing editor at Blockchain Asset Review.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tsering Namgyal is the chief content officer at Blockchain Asset Review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 22, 2022 By Tsering Namgyal and Joe Pan Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a class of assets such as digital art and digital collectibles, metaverse gaming and beyond have become extremely popular.
