This distributed approach inherently reduces energy usage and subsequently reduces CO2 emissions that contribute to global warming.

Utopia utilizes an energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism for Crypton mining instead of energy-intensive Proof-of-Work algorithms like Bitcoin.

Proof-of-Work (PoW) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks, notably in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and others. While PoW has proven to be effective in securing networks and building trust among participants, it has raised significant concerns regarding its high energy consumption and environmental impact.

In the PoW mechanism, miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions and secure the blockchain network.

This process requires substantial computational power, which in turn consumes a vast amount of energy. Miners use powerful hardware, such as ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), to perform these computations, leading to a constant race for more computational power and energy consumption.

As the difficulty of mining increases and more computational power is required to solve the puzzles, miners consume more electricity to maintain their operations. This results in significant energy bills and a strain on local power grids.
