Climate & Sustainability Information

The environmental impact of crypto-assets is primarily determined by the consensus mechanism used by the underlying blockchain network.

USDC may circulate on multiple blockchain networks.

For example:

Ethereum currently uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, which significantly reduces energy consumption compared with earlier Proof-of-Work models.

Information on environmental impacts associated with specific blockchain networks is available from the respective network operators and project documentation.
