COMMENTS:
The blockchain chosen by LEVERADE is Polygon. Polygon went carbon-neutral in 2022 with its Ethereum merger, moving from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake. Put simply, all hardware validators (miners) are gone, reducing electricity consumption by 99.5%. Polygon has reached the milestone of becoming carbon neutral in 2022.
