Top 5 Eco-friendly Cryptocurrencies Just because cryptocurrencies consume such a large amount of electricity doesn’t mean you should stay away from the crypto world. Here are five eco-friendly cryptocurrencies that you can invest in and be a part of the larger community.

• nano-node

  692 3,467 9.8 C++

  Nano is digital currency. Its ticker is: XNO and its currency symbol is: Ӿ

  

NANO uses the Proof of Work protocol, the traditional mining protocol. However, it aims to reduce the waste generated by the mining of cryptocurrencies by employing an Open Representative Voting Protocol. This reduces energy consumption while simultaneously improving the efficiency of the transactions. The NANO-based transactions are instant and do not require any trading fees.

• cardano-node

  510 3,019 9.8 Haskell

  The core component that is used to participate in a Cardano decentralised blockchain.

  

Cardano uses the Proof of Stake mechanism and it is called Ouroboros. In this system, the users have to purchase cryptocurrencies in order to be a part of the network. This helps in saving significant amounts of energy as only the users who already have tokens can join the network, instead of them racing to achieve that. The working system of Cardano is much more efficient than that of Bitcoin. In contrast to Bitcoin, where only up to seven transactions can be verified in a second, the limit of transactions is 1000 per second in the case of Cardano.
