Treasure Chess and Energy ⚡
We care about our impact, our community does too. That's why minting on Treasure Chess uses less energy than sending an email.
Let’s get to the heart of it: Some crypto apps use a ton of electricity, which is not acceptable to us at Treasure Chess. We care. We REALLY care about our app’s impact on the world, which is why we chose to build it on Polygon, a network which does absolutely no energy waste mining.
Minting a Treasure on Treasure Chess uses less energy than sending an email. And we’re proud of that.
We are so proud to be part of the great effort to reduce energy consumption in the crypto space.
Our ethos here at Treasure Chess is rooted in care, which informs our user-first decision making. We want all of you to trust that we are working with the right platforms to bring you an experience you can be proud participating in!
Currently some crypto apps such as Bitcoin contribute to an overwhelming amount of carbon emission. Unfortunately, its Proof-of-Work method of validation used by Bitcoin and others requires a lot of computing power which causes a huge amount of energy to be expended. Treasure Chess was built on Polygon, a network that wastes no energy on mining by using the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. The Proof-of-Stake process doesn’t require multiple miners to compete by doing tons of useless math. Instead a single validator is randomly selected preventing time and energy from going down the drain.
We think one of the best ways to get rid of wasteful networks like Bitcoin is to build better apps on more efficient networks, like we have done by building on Polygon.
Ethereum is phasing out of using Proof-of-Work and into applying a Proof-of-Stake model. Along with that, in just a few months (expected around August 2022), Polygon will actualize its vision of becoming carbon-negative. Polygon has pledged $20M to ensure the success of their mission and has partnered with KlimaDAO, a high-profile decentralized environmentalist collective, to aid in the transition.

Keeping in line with sustainable practices, Treasure Chess is committed to paying user’s transaction fees so that no one has to use a bridge between more wasteful networks. We have designed every aspect of our app around mindfulness and energy efficiency. Minting a Treasure should be fun and we want to do everything we can to make that happen!
