Tl;dr: you can go to use the calculator here Proof-of-work blockchains like Ethereum carry a heavy burden-- they consume in order to guarantee the integrity of the network. Such data has recently attracted a lot of for such networks, which in turn is prompting users to question whether participation in such an ecosystem is worth bearing the associated carbon footprint. massive amounts of energy criticism However, despite the common narrative that using a blockchain creates irreversible damage to the environment, -- or even every smart contract operation executed by an application. we can already use these networks to erase the entire footprint of a user’s transactions Building upon the methodology and code written by Kyle McDonald , I’ve created a that will let users and smart contract operators calculate the footprint of an address. here simple calculator On a final note, it’s important to point out that calculating the footprint of an Ethereum user or smart contract is . This is because it’s hard to measure any particular participant’s contribution to the footprint of a decentralized network that runs regardless of whether any activity on the network takes place or not. mostly philosophical Nonetheless, methodologies like these are huge milestones towards proactive and actionable measures to erase the footprint of blockchain activity.
