"Proof of Climate awaReness" is the name of an augmented proof of authority consensus inherited from Ethereum Clique that incentivizes with the Climate awaReness Coin (CRC / ₡) the node operators to progressively improve the environmental footprint of their node.
Expected benefits:
- The total environmental footprint of the network of nodes (block sealers) will be known at all time and is expected to progressively reduce with time (given a constant number of nodes)
- Sealers will be financially incentivized to better understand Green IT parameters and make investments for developping that sector
- Sealers are publicly known so crypto tokens generated and allocated to nodes are be traceable from source to recipient reducing the risk for illegal activities to benefit from the CRC.
- Fully compatible Ethereum Virtual Machine to leverage the Ethereum ecosystem
This site contains the necessary material to understand and participate to the Proof of Climate awaReness network.
All the detail of the consensus is described in the whitepaper.
This new public blockchain network is intended for any end users with a need to collaborate with parties they do not trust. Like most blockchain infrastructure, users needs the native token to operate on this infrastructure. The PoCR consensys is using the CRC (Climate awaReness Coin / ₡).
The main network (or production network) is named PoCRNet and is soon to be available to any users.
The test network, Kerleano, is available to anyone to join as client and propose sealers --> Get Started
Nodes in charge of adding transactions into blocks are "sealers" of the underlying proof of authority consensus. They are companies (large or small) that are endorsed by the initial sealers. They receive a remuneration in CRC according to the ecological quality of their IT system involved in running their node. The ecological quality or environmental footprint is measured by a Life Cycle Assessment methodology (LCA / ISO 11040/44:2006).
To participate to the network as sealer, submit your request to the community here.
To visualize the network you have the PoCR Network governance DApp at https://ethereum-pocr.github.io/. It requires a metamask compatible wallet.
The decision for changes are taken by the community by democratic vote (DAO type model) among the nodes operators where one node has one vote. Review the governance part of the whitepaper for more information.
