One Bitcoin transaction costs approx. 840 KWh of electricity.
One transaction on Gulden’s second generation blockchain consumes in contrast a modest 5.2 KWh!
A difference of 834.8 KWh. With this you can charge a Tesla Model S P100D more than eight times and drive about 4000 km.With about 1 million transactions per year on the Gulden Network you can save on energy an equivalent of over 4 billion electric kilometers.
