Currently platforms/marketplaces are listed under sections labelled "eco-friendly" or "not eco-friendly". However, these terms are judgmental and subjective. One person might consider a platform eco-friendly, and another person might not, depending on the particular details of the platform.

Rather than having these judgmental and subjective labels, platforms could instead all be put in one list or table, with most-to-least (or least-to-most) estimates of the per-gas or per-byte GHG emissions depending on the network used (some platforms support minting and transfers on multiple networks) (making sure to include a citation how these estimates were arrived at). Then the reader can decide for themselves what they think is eco-friendly or not based on these details.

Under the section Ways to make it better

Bridges: ... less impactful chain without loosing [correct to losing] the data minted.

Should it be removed from the readme? Or should one of its alternatives mentioned in https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/11/16/founder-of-hic-et-nunc-pulls-the-plug-on-the-leading-digital-art-marketplacebut-its-half-a-million-nfts-live-on be put in its place?

You can remove the "under development" flag :-)

Just a question. I want the open source eth calculator to handle > 10k transactions but I'm not allowed to paginate past 10k. I have a solution in mind, but then I thought, maybe this is a problem Memo has already solved...

Hi, I would like to thank you for your effort in spreading knowledge on the sustainability of projects,

I am here to present Eporio, https://epor.io which is a marketplace living on the xDai chain whose total usage is comparable to 2 U.S. households as described here:

https://www.xdaichain.com/about-xdai/news-and-information/xdai-energy-efficiency

I think it would be a good fit for this list =)

"So what?"

An artist or NFT buyer sees your page. So what? What do you want them to do next?

Hi, SIGN Art developer here, i believe our platform would fit well in your list, here the detail:

SIGN Art curated marketplace for digital art
https://sign-art.app/
Blockchain: Waves Protocol (WAVES)
Consensus: Lease PoS
Curated
Minting free on buy request

Let me know if needs more info or prefer a pull request.

Is cryptoart.wtf open source? Curious about extending it to some of the more eco friendly chains. Sorry to be somewhat off topic.

https://help.bonfida.com/solible/listing/ is broken

Thanks very much for the list of eco-friendly platforms. I'm at a loss why most of these platforms do not advertise their greenness, considering 'green' is something customers all over the world increasingly base their choices on. If the eco friendly platforms would honor royalty contracts among themselves if an NFT is transferred, that would be another big advantage in attracting content. Thanks again.

Preface: I believe we have a moral and ethical duty to properly inform the people whom we influence through our tools (cryptoart.wtf & carbon.fyi). As a co-creator of carbon.fyi I do not want my name associated with hyperbole or sensationalism. With this ticket here I raise some personal concerns I have reading this guide, and concerns I have reading ongoing discussions on Twitter & the eco-NFT discord.

It comes down to this: NFTs are shockingly unsustainable when you use Gas as your emissions factor. If you instead choose to divide emissions by profits made, held assets, time, wallet addresses, or most any other method... the allocation for NFTs is not so shocking.

So, we (carbon.fyi) still think co2-per-gas unit is the best emissions factor, because it's easy to understand, and covers the major use-cases for Ethereum. But it's not perfect. Every methodology has big tradeoffs.

For one, I have seen some real animosity towards artists who want to take advantage of today's bullish market for NFT art and publish on Ethereum. In my opinion, a lot of this animosity seems to come from people who do not understand the actual relationship between emissions and their transactions. They think pressing 'mint' creates a giant cloud of GHGs.

In addition, I see a lot of emphasis placed on so-called "Layer 2 solutions". This is another misleading side effect of our chosen methodology. In reality, these 'solutions' will serve no purpose other than to reduce an individual's emissions on paper. The total emissions of a PoW network could just as likely increase as layer-2 solutions gain popularity, if the speculative-future-value of Ethereum increases (bringing more miners).

Discussion points:
Can my concerns be addressed in this guide?
Does anyone share my concerns?
Can I improve the language on carbon.fyi?
Can we find a better methodology that leads people to more realistic conclusions or a better understanding of blockchain emissions?

P.S. Regardless of how you allocate emissions, plenty of people want nothing to do with Ethereum or Proof of Work blockchains just because they are so energy intensive. I think it's great that you've provided this list of alternatives for them! ❤️

EDIT:
Sorry I meant to proofread and post this in the morning, hence why I deleted it and closed it yesterday.

Since I originally wrote this, there has been a very large and in my opinion, totally excessive, negative reaction on Twitter towards ArtStation and their new NFT proof-of-concept on Ethereum. Almost everyone there seems to completely misunderstand the relationship between NFTs and emissions, and it's clear most of them are riled-up because of the cryptoart.wtf calculator. I am also disturbed at how many people there are using the opportunity to spread false rumors about climate finance and quality offsetting initiatives.
