你可能看过强烈抨击NFT带来的环境影响的文章。比如这篇、这篇和这篇。确实，现在的市场上，创建和销售NFT产生的能耗是非常不负责、也非常不可持续的。
但我们很自豪地说，我们并没有损害环境，因为我们提供的是碳中和的NFT市场体验。
很重要的一点是：非同质化代币技术不是生来就对环境不好的。区块链本身要么就基于大量能耗，要么就不怎么损耗能源。
我们和其它区块链的差异是：
- Voice的能源效率比特币高65000多倍。
- Voice的能源效率以太坊高17000多倍。
更直白点说。平均每个美国家庭有67盏灯(来源)。如果Voice等于一盏灯，那么比特币耗的电等于992个家庭的耗电量，以太坊等于257个家庭的耗电量。为了实现这个结果，Voice利用了委托权益证明技术，这套区块链共识算法并不需要巨大的服务其集群才能算出解决方法。
很多NFT平台嘴上说“碳中和”，但却依靠碳补偿。但我们的交易过程一开始就不损害环境，所以我们天然对环境负责。（请注意，作为一个公司我们产生的少数碳足迹主要来自员工通勤，但我们已经和Native的合作抵消了这些碳足迹。）
正因为这样的差异，很多关注环保的创造者在选择NFT平台时，第一时间想到了Voice。当然，我们也提供了无缝的用户体验，并且不收取矿工费。

这样你就了解了：你可以免费创建碳中和的NFT，你可以在不损害自己价值观的前提下参与Web3。

You may have heard about NFTs from the outcry around environmental impact. See: here, here and here. The energy requirements surrounding the creation and sale of NFTs on existing marketplaces are irresponsible and unsustainable.
Voice is proud to stand apart from the negative environmental impact, offering a carbon neutral NFT marketplace experience.
An important note: non-fungible token technology isn’t inherently bad for the environment. It’s the blockchain itself that is built in a way that either uses a lot of energy, or doesn’t.
Here’s how we’re different:
- Voice is > 65,000 times more energy efficient than Bitcoin
- Voice is > 17,000 times more energy efficient than Ethereum
What does this mean in more tangible terms? The average American home has 67 lights (source). If Voice were equivalent to one light bulb, then the power consumption of Bitcoin is 992 homes. Ethereum is 257 homes. Voice achieves this through Delegated proof of stake, a blockchain consensus algorithm which does not require huge server farms to mine for a solution.
Many NFT platforms talk about being ‘carbon neutral’ but rely on carbon offsets. Our transactions are inherently environmentally responsible by not doing the damage in the first place. (It’s important to note that our small carbon footprint as a company, largely due to employee commutes, is offset in partnership with Native).
This differentiation is what drove many environmentally-conscious creators to initially select Voice as their NFT platform of choice. Of course, we also offer a seamless user experience and no gas fees.

There you have it–you can create carbon neutral NFTs for free, being a part of Web3 without compromising your values.
