OnStaking, a next-generation staking and Web3 infrastructure platform, today announced the launch of its new “Green Staking” initiative, a first-of-its-kind program designed to support and promote carbon-neutral and environmentally sustainable blockchain projects. This effort is part of the company’s long-term vision to align the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) with global climate goals and responsible innovation.

The Green Staking initiative allows users to delegate their staking power to eco-friendly blockchains and nodes that actively support carbon offsetting or operate with near-zero emissions. By participating, users can not only earn rewards but also contribute to a more sustainable Web3 future.

A Turning Point for Sustainable Staking

As blockchain adoption accelerates, so too does its energy footprint. While some networks have shifted to energy-efficient consensus models like Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the environmental impact of blockchain infrastructure continues to be a growing concern. OnStaking's Green Staking initiative addresses this head-on by enabling users to choose where their staked assets are used—and how those choices impact the planet.

Supporting Carbon-Neutral Networks

At launch, OnStaking’s Green Staking platform supports several verified carbon-neutral blockchains, including:

• Algorand – A blockchain committed to carbon negativity via its partnership with ClimateTrade.

• Chia Network – Utilizes a proof-of-space-and-time mechanism, which is significantly more energy-efficient.

• Celo – Mobile-first blockchain that reinvests transaction fees into carbon offset programs.

These networks have been vetted by OnStaking’s research and sustainability teams, ensuring that users' assets contribute to eco-conscious networks committed to transparency and measurable environmental impact.

How Green Staking Works

Users can participate in Green Staking via a dedicated section of the OnStaking platform. The process is as follows:

1. Choose a Supported Green Network – Select from the list of verified carbon-neutral or eco-conscious chains.

2. Stake Your Assets – Stake native assets like ALGO, CELO, or CHIA directly from your wallet.

3. Track Environmental Impact – Real-time dashboards display your estimated carbon savings and offset contributions.

4. Earn Green Rewards – Receive regular staking rewards, plus bonus incentives from OnStaking’s sustainability fund.

Incentivizing Sustainability with Green Rewards

To encourage early adoption and long-term commitment, OnStaking has introduced a “Green Rewards” pool funded by 2% of its platform earnings. This pool will offer bonus yields to users who consistently stake with environmentally conscious networks over longer durations. Users may also receive limited-edition NFT badges verifying their green contributions.

Additionally, OnStaking will release quarterly reports outlining the environmental impact of the Green Staking program, offering transparency and real-world accountability.

Collaborating with Climate-Tech and Blockchain Partners

OnStaking is currently in discussions with several carbon offset providers and climate-tech firms to enhance the verification and scalability of the program. The company is also working with blockchain partners to integrate sustainable practices into node operations and validator selections.

The initiative reflects an industry-wide shift toward ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) alignment, especially as institutional players increase their Web3 exposure.

A Platform Built for Ethical Web3 Growth

Beyond staking, OnStaking’s broader mission is to foster responsible Web3 infrastructure. The company’s roadmap includes:

• Sustainability Metrics – In-platform carbon scoring for validator nodes.

• Decentralized Governance – Enabling community votes on which projects qualify as “green.”

• Educational Resources – A knowledge hub to educate users on sustainability in crypto.

These efforts aim to create an ecosystem where users, developers, and validators work together toward a greener blockchain future.

Community Response and Vision Forward

Feedback from OnStaking’s beta community has been overwhelmingly positive. Users have expressed enthusiasm about the ability to align staking rewards with climate values. “Green Staking gives my crypto activity deeper meaning,” said one early user. “I can earn rewards and reduce my carbon footprint at the same time.”

Looking ahead, OnStaking aims to scale the Green Staking initiative globally, introducing localized support and expanding the range of supported blockchains.
