Will This Report Help Polkadot In Being Investors First Choice?
Polkadot in a recent report from the Crypto Carbon Rankings Institute (CCRI) has emerged as the lowest electricity-consuming network. Whilst being the least carbon-emitting network per year.
The protocol has left behind the likes of prominent networks such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, amongst others.
Learning from the report, it is understood that the Polkadot network consumes about 6.6 times the electricity consumed by the average U.S household in a year.
In comparison, Ethereum uses 1.6 M times the U.S households, whilst the star crypto Bitcoin uses 8.6 Million times the households.
In contrast, Polkadot has allocated about 993,286 DOT, worth over $21 million, for the Polkadot Pioneers Prize. The initiative is in a view to stimulate the development of the ecosystem and the highly anticipated Web3.
The contenders need to compete to solve some of the persistent challenges faced by Polkadot and Web 3.0 to win the allocated prizes.

The community is optimistic about DOT climbing higher cliffs, as the network continues to work on updates and funding emerging projects.
In the interim, community-building initiatives such as being a sponsor to FC Barcelona could take the protocol to higher market cap rankings in near future.
