Digiconomist has launched a new API for developers to retrieve energy consumption and carbon footprint data on the Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin networks.

For many years, the Bitcoin community has argued that the network is running on a significant share of renewable energy sources.

In recent weeks several organizations have started experimenting with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on top of the Polygon network.

Next to the Bitcoin and Ethereum Energy Consumption Index a new Dogecoin Energy Consumption Index has been added to Digiconomist.

“Should bitcoin’s mass adoption continue, an escalating climate crisis is inevitable, disproportionately exacerbating social and environmental challenges for communities already experiencing multiple dimensions of deprivation.“
