Here at eMusic we are aware of the environmental affects that NFTs and Blockchain networks have. As a result we have decided to build our NFTs on sidechains, such as Polygon (previously Matic), Solana and Binance Smart chain. These chains work using EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine), so they operate like Ethereum and with the same addresses so transfer to Ethereum and support by all ETH wallets is instantaneous.
The environmental difference between these chain and Ethereum however is that their security validation is done by what is known as a proof-of-stake and not proof-of-work (all those unnecessary algorithms that require so much computer work in BTC and ETH), meaning they’re consuming power like regular computers, 99.9% less than Ethereum therefore gas money is almost nothing (you still have to pay for the usage of all the decentralized computers) and thus considered environment friendly.
BTW, Ethereum itself because of its carbon footprint plans to move proof-of-stake and reduce its power consumption which last year was equivalent to the power consumption of Nigeria - https://www.tomsguide.com/news/ethereum-crypto-will-soon-be-9995-more-environmentally-friendly-heres-howHere at eMusic we are aware of the environmental affects that NFTs and Blockchain networks have As a result we have decided to build our NFTs on sidechains (https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-roadmap/layer-2-scaling/sidechains/), such as Polygon (previously Matic), Solana and Binance Smart chain.
