Having grown from Arkreen’s incubation program to an independent global community for green Bitcoin initiatives, we are planning to launch our own ecosystem token to empower this mission further. GreenBTC.Club is dedicated to addressing one of Web3’s greatest public goods challenges: eliminating Bitcoin's historical carbon footprint. **A Greener Bitcoin Network: A Shared Global Interest** Bitcoin’s historical carbon footprint represents a collective responsibility for the Web3 ecosystem. Although no single entity is accountable, its resolution benefits everyone involved. The greener the Bitcoin network becomes, the more likely ESG-focused enterprises and institutions will buy and hold Bitcoin, further boosting its value and benefiting all holders.GreenBTC.Club’s mission is to unite the global community to tackle this monumental challenge and **Make Bitcoin Green Again**. **Greening Historical Blocks: Community-Driven On-Chain Climate Actions** GreenBTC.Club leverages the Cambridge University methodology to calculate the historical energy consumption of each Bitcoin block. Community members can select specific blocks and offset their carbon footprints using tokenized, on-chain renewable energy certificates (RECs). In return, participants receive token incentives, transforming over 800,000 Bitcoin blocks into a massive green digital map. **2024 in Review: Community Achievements and Growth** 2024 was a transformative year for GreenBTC.Club: * **V1** saw the launch of our initial product, marking the transition from 0 to 1. * **V2** facilitated rapid community expansion from 1 to 10. Highlights of the year include: * **710,000 climate actions contributed** by the community. * Over **160,000 blocks greened**. * **1.1 billion kWh of Bitcoin’s historical energy consumption** offset using on-chain RECs. GreenBTC.Club has become the world’s largest retail market for RECs and the ideal demand side for small-scale, distributed solar energy assets.
**Looking Ahead: Ecosystem Token and 2050 Bitcoin 100% Carbon Neutrality Goal** With the foundation for independent operations firmly established, the upcoming ecosystem token will accelerate global community engagement and green initiatives. Our ambitious goal is to achieve 100% carbon neutrality for the Bitcoin network by 2050, driving impact investments in renewable energy worldwide. **Bitcoin Climate Protocol: A Decentralized Carbon Neutrality Standard** GreenBTC.Club is more than a global community for on-chain climate action. It aims to spearhead the Bitcoin Climate Protocol, establishing a decentralized carbon neutrality standard for Bitcoin-the largest Web3 economy. This initiative will also expedite global on-chain capital flows into renewable energy investments. **The Vision Behind the Ecosystem Token** GreenBTC.Club’s ecosystem token will embody the network value of the Bitcoin Climate Protocol. It will also reward **Play to Impact** and **Impact to Earn** climate actors who contribute to GreenBTC.Club, fostering a collaborative effort to build a greener Bitcoin network.
**Join the Global Impact Campaign: Make Bitcoin Green Again!** In early January 2025, GreenBTC.Club will launch a **Global Green Campaign**, marking the beginning of the V3 phase. Together, let’s continue transforming Bitcoin’s future with green energy and sustainable practices. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
