Blockchain's energy footprint is a hot debate. Proof‑of‑Work still powers most crypto with fossil‑fuel‑heavy electricity, raising CO₂ concerns. Yet the sector is pivoting: Proof‑of‑Stake cuts power use by 99 %, layer‑2 roll‑ups reduce on‑chain activity, and many projects now source renewable energy or purchase carbon offsets. The future could be both decentralized and green.
