The utility embedded in the VeChain blockchain is gaining much-needed recognition in the fast-growing non-fungible token (NFT) sector.
VeChain blockchain was recently referenced in a journal article that focuses on the impact of NFTs on the environment. This was shared on Twitter a couple of hours ago by eisenreich, a stern VeChain community member.

In the journal, it’s stated that some blockchains are currently not producing green NFTs due to the impact of their consensus protocols on the environment.
The major blockchain that falls into this category is the largest smart contracts platform, Ethereum, which is currently powered by a proof of work (PoS) consensus algorithm. But the journal has a different thing to say about the VeChain blockchain.
The journal article describes VeChain as a blockchain with a consensus protocol that needs to be encouraged over the more polluting versions.
eisenreich tweeted, “VeChain x Green NFTs. VeChain was highlighted in a recent journal article on the impact of NFTs on the environment. “Consensus protocols [like VeChain] ought to be encouraged over the more polluting versions on environmental grounds.”

The journal reads in part as follows:
“There are alternative blockchain networks to host NFT platforms that are significantly less energy intensive because they have adopted alternative consensus protocols, such as Tezos and VeChain. Such consensus protocols ought to be encouraged over the more polluting versions on environmental grounds.”
