在过去的一年里，NFT的交易量已经成为一种流行文化。几乎每天，一位新名人都会宣布他们对新兴技术的兴趣——通常放弃NFT收藏。许多名人开始意识到NFT提供的创造性价值，从Quentintarantino的粗俗小说NFT到Snoopdog的NFT音乐品牌。尽管名人参与在提高主流对NFT用例和投资潜力的理解方面发挥了关键作用，但也引起了一些粉丝的愤怒。 人们越来越担心这种技术人们越来越担心这种技术对环境的影响。在一个值得注意的例子中，BTS，一个受欢迎的韩国男孩乐队，几个月前面临着巨大的阻力，因为他们计划推出自己的NFT系列。BTS经历的反弹是许多类似情况之一，这导致一些艺术家对探索NFT趋势持谨慎态度。 许多粉丝错过的是，他们可以在不牺牲环境的情况下创建NFT。事实上，许多NFT平台采用了更环保的铸造方法，通过整合Tezos、Flow、Polygon和Solana等节能区块链。这些区块链使用共识机制来验证区块链上的交易，例如铸造NFT，这被称为股权证书（POS）。这种共识机制比工作量证书（Pow）要少得多。工作量证书（Pow）是验证交易的主要方式，我们稍后将解释。 然而，鉴于NFT的技术术语和错误信息的数量，在进行尽职调查时，人们可能无法承受进入障碍。为了最大限度地提高生态友好性，任何艺术家都需要考虑四个关键因素：Pow、Pos、侧链和碳中和。 如何改变区块链技术的气候行动。 工作证明 围绕NFT的环境问题主要源于一种共识机制，这种机制被称为工作量证明。从本质上讲，Pow充当了加密货币交易的安全细节。计算机必须解决任何数学问题，以确保交易的安全性和合法性。参与这一过程的计算机需要大量电力，因此社区强烈反对一些名人在Pow链上推出NFT。 绿色比特币：能量使用对PoW的影响和重要性。 权益证明 幸运的是，并不是所有的区块链都需要Pow，NFT可以以环保的方式铸造，而不是流行的误解。这就是股票证明提供了一个引人注目的解决方案的地方。Pos只需要个人投入他们的加密信息参与验证交易，就可以获得奖励，而计算机需要消耗大量能源来验证交易。 正如前面提到的，一些流行的Pos区块链包括Tezos、Flow、Solana和Polygon。特别是Tezos因其低能耗而备受关注——为了便于比较，Tezos上的5000万笔交易只产生了17名全球公民的碳排放量。 股票证明或工作证明，这是一个问题。 此外，以太坊，NFT生态系统的领先区块链之一，将很快从Pow过渡到Pos系统。据以太坊基金会称，该网络即将从Pow转向Pos。据说它将于今年秋天到来，这将提高其能源效率约2000倍，并将总能源消耗减少99.95%。 解决方案，侧链和第二层。 避免Pow过度能耗的另一个替代方案是侧链，它是一个独立的区块链，与以太坊等主链平行运行。这种独立性允许侧链围绕交易制定自己的安全和治理规则。他们的碳足迹大大减小，因为侧链不需要依靠分布式计算机网络来验证交易。 Polygon是NFT空间中流行侧链的一个很好的例子。值得注意的是，Polygon也是一个通过提高交易速度和气体效率来支持以太坊主链的二级解决方案或第三方协议。这些侧链提供的许多社区管理特别符合创造者和开发者的性质，他们寻求与粉丝建立建立互利的经济，这使得侧链成为进入加密货币领域的人们的引人注目的选择。 碳中和 他们承认并维持其碳足迹的责任，无论项目使用PoW、Pos还是侧链。 该项目可以通过与碳清除项目的整合，以多种方式实现碳中和，例如碳补偿。以今年早些时候Rarible和流行碳去除市场Nori的整合为例，这使得任何人都能抵消以太坊NFT在Rarible上的大部分碳足迹。 考虑到这些因素，艺术家进行尽职调查是非常重要的，以确保他们选择在NFT市场铸造项目，并保持他们的价值观。 绿色金融需要有效的自愿碳市场。 虽然有些人在不考虑环境的情况下攫取NFT作为现金，但这一特征歪曲了社区为中心的意图，即Web3未来主义者和技术背后的创新者。通过使用环境保护和实用驱动的NFT，艺术家可以打开一个新的可能性领域，与他们的粉丝建立联系并分享价值。 本文不包括投资建议或建议。每一次投资和交易行动都涉及到风险，读者在做出决定时应进行自己的研究。 这里所表达的观点、想法和观点只代表作者个人，并不一定反映或代表Cointegraph的观点和观点。 AlexSalnikov是NFT市场的联合创始人兼首席战略官，该市场以社区为中心。自2012年以来，作为区块链开拓者和加密货币领域的活跃开发者，Alex一直担任Coinoffering的首席技术官。Alex拥有计算机科学学士学位和数据科学硕士学位发行股票的公司。Alex拥有计算机科学学士学位和数据科学硕士学位币经济学。

In the past year, NFT trading volume has become a popular culture. Almost every day, a new celebrity announces their interest in the emerging technology—usually dropping an NFT collection. Many celebrities are beginning to realize the creative value that NFTs offer, from Quentintarantino’s NFTs for crude novels to Snoopdog’s NFT music brands. While celebrity involvement has played a key role in increasing mainstream understanding of NFT use cases and investment potential, it has also caused the ire of some fans. There are growing concerns about the impact of this technology on the environment. In one notable example, BTS, a popular Korean boy band, faced significant pushback a few months ago as they planned to launch their own line of NFTs. The backlash BTS experienced is one of many similar situations that has led some artists to be cautious about exploring the NFT trend. What many fans miss is that they can create NFTs without sacrificing the environment. In fact, many NFT platforms adopt greener minting methods by integrating energy-saving blockchains such as Tezos, Flow, Polygon, and Solana. These blockchains use consensus mechanisms to verify transactions on the blockchain, such as minting NFTs, which are known as Certificates of Equity (POS). This consensus mechanism is much less demanding than Certificate of Work (Pow). Certificates of Work (Pow) are the primary way to verify transactions, which we will explain later. However, given the amount of technical jargon and misinformation surrounding NFTs, there may be barriers to entry that people can’t afford when doing their due diligence. To maximize eco-friendliness, there are four key factors that any artist needs to consider: Pow, Pos, Sidechains, and Carbon Neutrality. How blockchain technology can transform climate action. Proof of Work Environmental issues surrounding NFTs mainly stem from a consensus mechanism known as proof of work. Essentially, POW acts as a security detail for cryptocurrency transactions. Computers must solve any mathematical problem to ensure the security and legality of transactions. The computers involved in this process require a lot of electricity, so the community is strongly opposed to some celebrities launching NFTs on the POW chain. Green Bitcoin: The Impact and Importance of Energy Usage on PoW. Proof of Stake Fortunately, not all blockchains require Proof of Stake, and NFTs can be minted in an environmentally friendly manner, contrary to popular misconception. This is where proof of equity offers a compelling solution. PoS only requires individuals to invest their encrypted information to participate in verifying transactions to receive rewards, while computers need to consume a lot of energy to verify transactions. As mentioned earlier, some popular PoS blockchains include Tezos, Flow, Solana, and Polygon. Tezos in particular has attracted attention for its low energy consumption - for comparison, the 50 million transactions on TezosYi only produces the carbon emissions of 17 global citizens. Stock certificate or employment certificate, that is the question. Additionally, Ethereum, one of the leading blockchains in the NFT ecosystem, will soon transition from a PoW to a PoS system. According to the Ethereum Foundation, the network is about to switch from PoW to PoS. It is said to arrive this fall that it will increase its energy efficiency by approximately 2,000 times and reduce overall energy consumption by 99.95%. Solutions, sidechains and second layers. Another alternative to avoid excessive energy consumption of PoW is a sidechain, which is an independent blockchain that runs in parallel with the main chain such as Ethereum. This independence allows sidechains to develop their own security and governance rules around transactions. Their carbon footprint is significantly reduced because sidechains do not need to rely on a distributed network of computers to verify transactions. Polygon is a great example of a popular sidechain in the NFT space. It is worth noting that Polygon is also a secondary solution or third-party protocol that supports the Ethereum main chain by improving transaction speed and gas efficiency. Much of the community management provided by these sidechains is particularly aligned with the nature of creators and developers seeking to build mutually beneficial economies with their fans, making sidechains a compelling choice for people entering the cryptocurrency space. Carbon Neutrality They acknowledge and maintain responsibility for their carbon footprint, whether a project uses PoW, PoS or sidechains. The project can achieve carbon neutrality in a number of ways through integration with carbon removal projects, such as carbon offsetting. Take the integration of Rarible and popular carbon removal marketplace Nori earlier this year, for example, which allows anyone to offset a large portion of the carbon footprint of Ethereum NFTs on Rarible. With these factors in mind, it is important for artists to conduct due diligence to ensure that the projects they choose to mint in the NFT market maintain their values. Green finance requires effective voluntary carbon markets. While some people grab NFTs for cash without considering the context, this characterization misrepresents the community-centric intentions of the Web3 futurists and innovators behind the technology. By using environmentally friendly and utility-driven NFTs, artists can open up a new realm of possibilities to connect with their fans and share value.
