Jelurida’s Pure PoS Consensus Addresses The Sustainability Energy Issues Related To Cryptocurrencies

The rising acceptance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has led to more miners and mining activities using high-powered computers that consume more energy.

To address this challenge, Jelurida, the development company behind Ardor, Nxt, and Ignis blockchains, offers a sustainable solution that is efficient and interoperable while being extraordinarily environment-friendly.

As promising as the new rollout may seem, the kind of software upgrades set to be introduced will not solve the long-term problems plaguing the network from reaching the heights Buterin and his disciples once envisioned.
