Over the last few days, Elon Musk said Tesla could start to accept Bitcoin as payment again, if at least half of it can be mined using clean energy. "When there's confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with a positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions," he tweeted. A way to process blockchain transactions with near zero energy use is by using technology called Proof-of-Stake. With it, companies, like Tokens.com Corp. (NEO:COIN) can perform the same work as a crypto miner—with a similar compensation structure -- but in an environmentally friendly way. Other miners to keep an eye on include Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ:RIOT), Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA), HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE)(OTC:HVBTF), and Bit Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:BTBT).
As reported by NBC News, “Because the basis of proof of stake doesn't require any extra energy to prove trustworthiness, it is much more energy efficient. Unlike in proof of work, where specialized computing equipment like high-end graphics cards are needed, the proof of stake protocol can be run off of a laptop. The nodes are virtual spaces, not physical equipment.”
Tokens.com Corp. (NEO:COIN) Just Added Figment As New Staking Integration Partner
Tokens is a blockchain technology company that provides transaction processing and validation services for various digital assets that power Decentralized Finance applications and Non- Fungible Token (NFT) platforms.
Tokens utilizes Proof-of-Stake or Staking technology. DeFi is a new class of financial applications that provides users with automated and transparent financial services, such as borrowing and lending, without the need for financial institutions. NFTs are redefining how art, gaming, music and collectibles are created, valued and traded. Management believes that as mainstream adoption for DeFi and NFT applications grow, the need for Tokens.com’s Staking services will commensurately increase.
In addition, Tokens.com Corp. just announced the addition of Figment as its newest staking integration partner. “We look forward to working with Figment in our crypto staking operations. We’re excited to expand our team of strategic partners with a leading Canadian staking entity,” commented Tokens.com CEO Andrew Kiguel.
Tokens.com will utilize Figment’s staking services for selected digital assets. In turn, Tokens.com will receive compensation, in the form of crypto tokens, for processing transactions and securing selected crypto networks. Crypto staking is achieved with environmentally friendly technology that has near zero electricity requirements.
“Tokens.com has developed an exciting new way to safely invest in Proof-of-Stake assets,” noted Figment CEO Lorien Gabel. “We look forward to supporting their growth with our enterprise grade staking & node infrastructure."
