Sustainability Overview
Supernova differs from traditional blockchains by prioritizing environmental sustainability. Key aspects include:
- Renewable Energy Validation - Validators must prove renewable energy usage
- Carbon Offsetting - Built-in mechanisms to fund carbon capture projects
- Energy-Efficient Consensus - Optimized for minimal energy consumption
- Impact Reporting - Transparent tracking of environmental metrics
Supernova aims to be the first truly carbon-negative blockchain platform, actively reducing the global carbon footprint rather than simply minimizing its impact.
Environmental Metrics
The Supernova network continuously monitors these environmental metrics:
- Energy consumption per transaction
- Percentage of renewable energy used across the network
- Carbon offsets purchased and applied
- Net carbon impact (negative numbers indicate carbon removal)
These metrics are publicly available on the network explorer and status dashboard.
