WAX Celebrates Earth MonthMIAMI, April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire -- Spring is here, and WAX is gearing up to release carbon impact NFTs in celebration of Earth Month. With the blockchain rapidly growing, going green is more important than ever to help preserve our planet and our home. WAX jumpstarted the transition to a greener blockchain by eliminating the need for gas fees and now is getting ready to offer the world’s first carbon impact collectibles in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Planet Earth is our home, and WAX is excited to do its share in caring for it by operating a carbon neutral blockchain and promoting highly energy-efficient NFTs. William Quigley, co-founder of WAX, says, "WAX was designed from the beginning to be incredibly energy efficient. That is why WAX NFTs use a tiny fraction of the energy of Ethereum and Bitcoin.” In fact, WAX is 125,000 times more energy efficient than Ethereum and is already carbon neutral. WAX already has an exceptionally low carbon footprint due to staking; this eliminates the need for gas fees altogether. Read more about how WAX is Green https://on.wax.io/go-green/.
