Electroneum quietly surpasses one million users, demonstrating with real actions a question: will Web2 users truly pay for environmental protection?

This L1 chain adopts PoR consensus — with such low energy consumption that one might suspect a few zeros are missing. No electricity burning, no competition for computing power, relying instead on reputation weight. Sounds very idealistic? But they have already brought in environmental organizations like One Ocean Foundation, and practical application scenarios like AnyTask are running.

The current question is: when everyone is shouting about green blockchains, who can truly retain users? After all, no matter how cool the technological concept is, it ultimately depends on whether the ecosystem can grow. Perhaps in the next round of L1 wars, environmental protection will be an unexpected breakthrough.

A million users is not a small number, but I don't know how active they really are. How many are truly usable? By the way, PoR's low-energy logic is indeed good, but whether the environmental concept can really retain people depends on how the ecosystem develops later. One Ocean paired with AnyTask definitely has some substance, unlike projects that are purely hype. At least they're doing serious work. The term "green blockchain" is now overused, but the key is whether the ecosystem can come alive; otherwise, even if it's eco-friendly, it would be meaningless. Let's wait and see. Anyway, there are many L1s this round. The eco angle is new, but I'm just worried it will end up being just marketing hype.

A million users sounds impressive, but how many are truly active? Anyway, I haven't seen much change in the wallet. If the ecosystem can't turn around, being environmentally friendly is just a waste of effort. This trick has been seen too many times. PoR sounds appealing, but I wonder if there are any tricks involved... Does backing by One Ocean Foundation guarantee no rug pulls? I think I'll wait and see. The next highly touted L1 chain is probably already on its way. How long the eco-friendly approach can last is really uncertain. However, the low energy consumption aspect is indeed interesting, much more conscientious than those chains that burn electricity daily. Probably most of the million users are just a bunch of snipers; they probably don't even know themselves. If the ecosystem applications can't take off, then all those users are just imaginary. Can AnyTask support the market? To be honest, the environmental selling point in crypto is basically an placebo; it still depends on how the APY performs.

A million users sounds pretty good, but how many of them are truly sticky... PoR's energy consumption is indeed low, but the key is whether that ecosystem can really take off. To be honest, the concept of green blockchain has been popular for two years, but very few have actual practical implementations. If Electroneum can really turn around this time with One Ocean and AnyTask, then it's definitely worth paying attention to. However, I still want to see the daily active user data after six months — how many of the million users are actually engaging in real transactions. The environmental breakthrough sounds promising, but don't let it become just another PowerPoint project...

A million users sounds impressive, but retention is the real skill. PoR consensus indeed saves power, but do Web2 people really care? Or is it just for novelty? Environmental sustainability can become a differentiating selling point, provided there are real monetary incentives; otherwise, it's just empty talk. Having AnyTask up and running is a good sign, but one app isn't enough to sustain the scene; an ecosystem needs to be built.

A million users sounds impressive, but how many are truly active? That's the real point to watch. Honestly, PoR energy saving is still about whether it can make money... Users don't really care about green or not. Having One Ocean as an endorsement is indeed impressive, but what's the situation with AnyTask? Haven't heard any updates. Environmental payments? Web2 users? Haha, don't be silly. Most are just following the trend... If they were really conscious, they'd have moved to blockchain long ago. Low energy consumption is a good thing, but I'm worried it will just become another PPT chain, gaining some hype and then fading away. The hardest part is transitioning the ecosystem. Other L1s are real-life lessons... Let's see how long Electroneum can last.

*checks notes* ah yes, the classic "green blockchain" narrative... we literally said this exact thing during the 2017 ICO boom. remember when everyone was gonna save the planet with proof-of-stake? 1 million users sounds impressive until you realize 99% will ghost after the airdrop hype dies. pattern recognition says we're here ⬇️ in the hype cycle, not anywhere near actual adoption.
