Consensus mechanism

Proof-of-work (SHA-256).

Incentive mechanisms

Block subsidies and transaction fees paid to miners validating blocks on the Bitcoin network.

Table 2 — Mandatory key indicator (energy consumption)

S.8Total annual energy consumptionTo be published — pending compliance sign-off of quantitative figure(s) from the approved sustainability assessment.
S.9Energy consumption — sources and methodologiesEnergy consumption is estimated using a top-down economic profitability model for proof-of-work networks: hardware is selected by consensus hash algorithm (SHA-256 for Bitcoin; Scrypt for Litecoin); a profitability threshold is applied from mining revenue and cost structures; network energy use is derived from hardware distribution, efficiency assumptions, and on-chain miner revenue data. Merge-mining is included where material. Geographic energy mix and GHG estimates use public grid data where node location is unknown. All figures are estimates subject to the methodology described in the identified source document.

ETH

Ethereum

Consensus mechanism

Proof-of-stake (post-Merge).

Incentive mechanisms

Validator staking rewards and transaction priority fees on the Ethereum network.

Table 2 — Mandatory key indicator (energy consumption)

S.8Total annual energy consumptionTo be published — pending compliance sign-off of quantitative figure(s) from the approved sustainability assessment.
S.9Energy consumption — sources and methodologiesEthereum uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism (post-Merge). Energy consumption and related indicators are substantially lower than proof-of-work assets and are estimated from validator count, client software mix, and published network analysis using the methodologies in the identified source document.

LTC

Litecoin

FFG DTI D74JZ1VRD

Consensus mechanism

Proof-of-work (Scrypt). Standard Litecoin mainnet transactions only; MWEB is not supported by Paysolo.

Incentive mechanisms

Block subsidies and transaction fees paid to miners; block reward halving approximately every four years.
