According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Cardano Foundation has partnered with the Crypto Carbon Rating Institute (CCRI) to release sustainability indicators for the Cardano network, which will comply with the EU's upcoming Crypto Asset Market (MiCA) regulations. The Foundation said that cooperation with CCRI can ensure the quality of its blockchain monitoring and data collection methods. The report emphasizes that Cardano runs on a more energy-efficient consensus protocol that consumes much less electricity than the proof-of-work protocol. The report also provides the total annual electricity consumption and carbon footprint of the Cardano network, as well as the marginal electricity demand per transaction per second. In addition, the report also provides sustainability indicators that comply with the draft regulatory technical standards of the European Securities and Markets Authority.
