Pulled the environmental disclosure numbers from OpenGradient's MiCAR filing because most crypto projects either skip this section or bury it in vague language.

This one doesn't. Energy consumption is listed at 0.50318 kilowatt hours per transaction. Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions come in at 0.00015 tCO2e, based on 2025 data from the MiCA Crypto Alliance.

What stood out is how specific both numbers are. Not a range, not a rough estimate, actual decimal precision tied to a named methodology source.

That level of specificity is rare. A lot of projects either avoid publishing energy data entirely or round it into something vague enough to be unfalsifiable.

I actually think the precision itself is the more interesting signal, regardless of whether the number sounds high or low in isolation. Specific numbers can be checked against future disclosures. Vague language can't be checked against anything.

What I haven't seen is how this per transaction figure compares to similar verification heavy networks, the filing states the number but doesn't offer that comparison.
