XTZ, a privacy-focused blockchain network, has released its carbon footprint report from PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory SAS – a French subsidiary of PwC’s network of member firms.

The PwC report reflects the dramatic improvements in energy efficiency for XTZ since moving from Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining consensus to Proof-of-Stake (PoS).

The PwC report highlights a significant decrease in the XTZ network’s carbon footprint despite the increase in network activity. The XTZ blockchain accounts for 50 million transactions, while the entire network is reported to have an energy footprint of 17 global citizens.

The energy efficiency per transaction on the network has increased by 70%, while the estimated electricity demand per transaction is 30% lower than in 2020.

Reid Yager, Global Communications Director at Blokhaus, said, “As more brands and companies incorporate energy into their business decisions, an energy efficient blockchain like XTZ has emerged that is ready to meet your needs and operate efficiently, safely and reliably guarantee” XTZ affiliate.

In addition to Tezos, there is ZCash (ZEC), another blockchain network geared towards data protection. switch to PoS. Most of the blockchain networks making the switch are trying to move away from the FUD energy consumption associated with the PoW mining consensus.
