ESG & Sustainability Data
Environmental, Social and Governance data for all crypto assets available on our platform.
About this data
As required under Article 66 (5-6) of the MiCA Regulation (Markets in Crypto-Assets), all Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) must disclose environmental sustainability indicators for each crypto asset they offer. This includes energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, energy mix, waste generation and water usage data.
What we track
For each crypto asset on our platform, we monitor and disclose the following sustainability indicators as defined by the MiCA Regulation.
Energy consumption
Total energy used by the network, energy intensity per transaction, and percentage of energy from renewable sources.
GHG emissions
Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the distributed ledger technology, plus GHG intensity metrics.
Energy mix
Detailed breakdown of energy sources: solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, gas, coal, bioenergy and other renewable/fossil sources.
Waste generation
Electrical and electronic waste (WEEE), hazardous waste, total waste generation, non-recycled waste ratios and waste intensity.
Water usage
Water consumption and non-recycled water ratios associated with the mining or validation infrastructure of each network.
Natural resources
Impact of the use of equipment on natural resources, including land use per transaction and carbon intensity indicators.
Consensus mechanisms & incentives
Proof of Stake networks consume significantly less energy than Proof of Work. The majority of crypto assets on our platform use energy-efficient consensus mechanisms.
Proof of Stake
Validators stake tokens instead of solving complex mathematical problems. This results in drastically lower energy consumption compared to Proof of Work.
Proof of Work
Miners solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions. This process requires significant computational power and energy consumption.
