According to a blog post from the foundation, this represents the first “major smart-contract blockchain” to measure carbon emissions in real time. The organization hopes this will spur a trend toward carbon emission transparency in the blockchain ecosystem:
“The Solana Foundation hopes to set a new standard for measuring emissions in blockchain by publishing this data.”
The new dashboard can be found on the Solana Climate website. Trackers there currently display the total node count, megawatt-hours, total carbon emissions average and marginal use, alongside numerous other indicators.
