Hedera Takes Lead in Carbon Neutrality and Prepares for Major Expansion in Q1 2023 🔥💰💻
🌱💰 Hedera, a regular attendee of the Davos Forum, has announced that environmental sustainability is now its primary value. The network has officially committed to operating with a negative carbon footprint, purchasing carbon offsets on a quarterly basis determined by Terrapass.
💰💰 HBAR, the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera network, has a fixed supply of 50 billion coins, with 26.35 billion currently in circulation. The Hedera Treasury distributes HBAR on a quarterly basis according to a distribution schedule that runs until 2025.
🚀 Hedera's Growth and Sustainability Initiatives 🌿🌍💹
In 2022, Hedera launched staking, reducing the number of coins in circulation. By the end of the year, 31.3 billion HBAR had been staked. The HBAR Foundation expects nearly 80 projects to be launched on the Hedera network by the end of Q1 2023, compared to only 89 applications at the end of 2022.
While only 89 applications are currently active on the Hedera network, 45% of them are grant recipients. This small number is offset by the rapid development of these projects, as most grants were only awarded in 2022. With the adoption of the Ethereum virtual machine, Hedera's expansion is set to accelerate.
