How Telos leads the way in sustainability with its ESG compliant blockchain

With the COP26 right around the corner and the climate crisis seemingly accelerating as we have seen  over this summer, it is a great time for us to explore the ecological benefits of the Telos blockchain.

An energy efficient blockchain

Telos is the most energy efficient blockchain today thanks to the Telos Core Devs team making sure every single bit of resource is used as efficiently as possible. They aim to have each line of their code as optimized as possible and hence requiring as little hardware as possible to run.

Block Producers using renewable power and offsetting their carbon footprint

Additionally to the great energy efficiency of our transactions, those low hardware requirements also make it easier for our Block Producers to use renewable energies, some of them already are ! And with Telos' governance tools - like our Decide Voter app - letting the community vote for those Block Producers, this makes Telos THE greenest blockchain today as well as one of the only ESG compliant cryptos ! Some of our Block Producers are also  offsetting their carbon footprint entirely, you can track the trees they are planting directly on the blockchain !
