Sustainability Metrics are quantifiable measures used to assess the environmental, social, and governance impact of various operations. In the context of digital assets, these metrics evaluate factors such as energy consumption, carbon footprint, and waste generation associated with blockchain networks. They provide data for comparing the ecological efficiency of different consensus mechanisms. These measures are vital for addressing the environmental concerns surrounding cryptocurrency.
