Cryptocurrencies have been hailed as the future. Decentralised Finance (DeFi) is providing greater transparency and security for users all over the world. However, there is an inconvenient truth that faces the industry: its environmental impact.
Bitcoin is estimated to use 136.38 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, more than Argentina or the United Arab Emirates, with each transaction using as much power as an average American household over 73.52 days. Alongside this, the second-biggest cryptocurrency, Ethereum consumes more power than the Philippines or Belgium.
Several cryptocurrencies have reacted to the environmental threat being posed by their industry and formed their version of the Paris Accord, the Crypto Climate Accord. By 2025 they aim to use fully renewable energy and, by 2030, to have net-zero emissions. Wax (WAXP), a certified carbon-neutral blockchain, and the newly launched Mushe Token (XMU) are taking their commitment to sustainability seriously too, leading the industry when it comes to environmental responsibility.
Mushe Token - The Eco-Friendly Cryptocurrency
Launching in July and with the pre-sale starting in April, the new cryptocurrency, Mushe token (XMU) is predicted to make waves with its lower entry costs, focus on crypto-education and general ease of use. The creators of XMU have focused not only on accessibility and the user experience but have also already made an important environmental commitment.
Leaving high-power Ethereum-esk consumption proof of work mining behind, the new XMU will consume far less energy than tokens like Bitcoin and will also incentivise the development of eco-friendly technologies.
Mushe Token focuses on wellbeing and will encourage Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, through a reward system.
1% of Mushe’s total assets have already been allocated to charitable causes with eco-friendly agendas, such as preventing world hunger, whilst Constellation, its blockchain provider, also has a long-term commitment to using 100% renewable energy.
