Solana Foundation Launches Real-Time Emissions Tracking Portal
In a significant move towards environmental sustainability, the Solana Foundation has partnered with TryCarbonara to launch a new emissions-tracking portal that monitors the carbon footprint of the Solana blockchain in real-time. This initiative makes Solana one of the first blockchains to have its emissions tracked in this manner.
4/ We hope the Solana Foundation's efforts will inspire other blockchain networks and projects to take similar steps towards measuring their emissions and building a more regenerative on-chain community.

Solana Foundation Encourages Other Blockchain Networks to Implement Emission Monitoring Systems
The emissions tracker provides an in-depth analysis of the carbon footprint of the Solana blockchain. It includes embodied emissions that encompass the production and shipping of hardware, as well as the carbon impact of individual validators. The tracker also includes comparative charts that offer a better understanding of the carbon footprint of the Solana blockchain.
The emissions tracking system was created in partnership with Trycarbonara, a carbon data platform, and is embedded software on Solana nodes. This metric evolves in real-time, taking into account the number of validators, and their availability.
This new initiative is part of the Solana Foundation’s efforts to encourage other blockchain networks and organizations to implement emission monitoring systems and create more regenerative on-chain communities. The Solana Foundation hopes that this move will pave the way for other blockchain networks to adopt similar emission monitoring systems.
Solana Takes the Lead in Reducing Carbon Footprint with Real-Time Emissions Monitoring System
The emissions tracker is the most thorough and precise measurement of the blockchain’s footprint to date, and the data collection is comprehensive, publicly available, and freely usable. This opens the door for validators and ecosystem projects/teams to examine their unique impacts on the network’s carbon footprint and consider possible countermeasures.
The emissions tracking portal is a significant step forward in Solana’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Solana has taken the initiative to make itself the first significant smart-contract blockchain that is actively working towards reducing its carbon footprint.
The Solana Foundation’s partnership with TryCarbonara to launch a new emissions-tracking portal is a significant step forward in the battle against climate change. This move shows the Foundation’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. It also paves the way for other blockchain networks to adopt similar emission monitoring systems.
