NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have emerged as a revolutionary technological innovation in the world of digital art, literature, gaming and entertainment. However, their growing popularity raises challenges about their environmental impact, due to the energy consumption that occurs during production, exchange and storage on the blockchain. Offsetting the carbon footprint associated with NFTs is an important step towards the sustainability of this technology.
