Comparison in Watts per Single Transaction:

Bitcoin (BTC): 707 kWh per transaction

Nano (XNO):  0.00112 kWh per transaction

Global Average Cost for 1 kWh of Electricity:... $0.173

Bitcoin (BTC): $122.311 per transaction

Nano (XNO): $0.000019376  per transaction


Nano’s Blocklattice structure enables significantly lower energy consumption per transaction compared to Bitcoin’s blockchain due to its innovative consensus mechanism and lightweight design.

Nano (XNO) Blocklattice:

Nano operates on a different consensus mechanism called Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), which does not require mining like Bitcoin.

Nano’s architecture allows for faster and more energy-efficient transactions compared to traditional blockchain networks.

Due to its design, Nano transactions are extremely lightweight in terms of energy consumption.

A single transaction on the Nano network typically consumes only a fraction of the energy compared to Bitcoin, with estimates  of about 0.00112 kWh per transaction.
