According to CryptoPotato, the EOS Network Foundation (ENF), a non-profit organization coordinating the development of the EOS Network, has partnered with metaverse super application Upland and sustainability platform Aerial to foster an initiative that will turn EOS into a climate-positive blockchain network. The collaboration with Upland and Aerial will enable the EOS Network to move its sustainability efforts from being one of the worldâs carbon-neutral blockchains to being climate-positive.
The ENF intends to set a new standard through its partnerships with Upland and Aerial. The foundation aims to inspire other networks to implement climate-positive strategies, thereby creating a sustainable digital economy. The EOS Network is designed to consume minimal power while delivering on scalability and throughput. It is among the worldâs most environmentally friendly blockchains, with an annual carbon footprint of 242 tonnes of carbon dioxide, which the ENF claims has been fully offset since 2018.
As an open web3 platform for the metaverse mapped to the real world, Upland has been involved in the EOS Networkâs sustainability efforts since 2021 by serving as the networkâs carbon offset sponsor. The platform has extended its sustainability efforts beyond blockchain infrastructure by offsetting its carbon footprint for the cloud services that help power its metaverse. Aerial collaborates with verified environmental efforts globally to create a more sustainable planet. The sustainability platform will be in charge of reducing EOSâ carbon emissions. Yves La Rose, Founder and CEO of the ENF, said that the initiative underscores the EOS networkâs commitment to environmental sustainability.
