Digiconomist
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
Digiconomist provides research and data on the energy consumption and sustainability of digital currencies, exposing the unintended consequences of digital trends.
Target Customer
Researchers, policymakers, developers, and readers interested in crypto sustainability and the environmental impact of digital assets.
Key Differentiator
Longstanding, founder-led research with publicly accessible data/data endpoints (energy and carbon footprint API) and a suite of sustainability indices focused on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other digital assets.
Implementation Timeline
