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. In a Tesla! That is almost 28 times the distance to the sun or in one go directly to Pluto. Namasté.
Regularly in the news is the exorbitant energy consumption of Bitcoin. Stating that it is as high as a whole country such as Ireland’s and that a transaction would cost more than a household’s weekly energy consumption.

In the crypto-landscape, Gulden is like an outsider.

Although the blockchain mechanics behind the PoW² system are rather complicated. The user facing process for creating a witness account is relatively simple.
