Overview
Under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, all crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) must disclose information about the climate and environmental impacts of their services.
MoonPay Europe B.V. provides detailed reporting on:
The consensus mechanisms used by supported blockchain networks
The principal adverse impacts of those mechanisms on climate and environmental factors
Estimated energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and related intensity metrics
Types of consensus mechanisms covered
Proof of Work (PoW) – Secures the network through computational mining
Proof of Stake (PoS) – Secures the network through validator staking
Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant (BFT) – Secures the network through a predefined set of trusted validators
No consensus algorithm – Relies on the consensus mechanism of underlying networks
Data sources and methodology
All metrics are provided by CCRI (June 17th–30th, 2025).
They are based on specific assumptions and methodologies, detailed in the CCRI whitepaper and API documentation.
Offsets and market-based mechanisms are not currently included in CCRI data.
