Dear Bankless Nation, 

The vast majority of NFT activity takes place on Ethereum. 

And with the Merge dropping Ethereum’s energy use by over 99% this week, now NFTs have gone green accordingly!

Ethereum reducing its energy usage by 99.98% will improve its public image more than anything else in its entire history (rightfully so imo). I think people are massively underestimating this aspect of the merge.

Because of inertia, it’s still going to take some time to fend off the “NFTs are horrible for the environment” crowd. But there’s no doubt going forward that the public image of NFTs will improve because of this major evolution, and that’s worth celebrating. 

In the meantime, have a great weekend everyone and thanks for reading ✌️
