Unparalleled Environmental Efficiency

|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Consumption | 2 GWh | 70 GWh | 2.5 GWh |
| Wh per Block | 417 Wh | 31 kWh | 2.4 kWh |
| CO2 per Block | 0.14 kg | 10 kg | 0.8 kg |
| CO2 per NFT Transfer | 0.03 g * | 30 g | 0.7 g |
| CO2 per NFT Mint | 0.05 g * breath for 4 seconds | ~45 g 9 full smart phone charges | 1.1 g shoot 1 hour video |
| * The number relates to a regular balance transfer multiplied by an appropriate factor because NFTs dont’t exist on Polkadot | |||
Your Approach To Get Started
On Unique, you can build your dApps on both the Substrate and Ethereum infrastructure. With EVM-compatibility, you can create your applications just like on Ethereum.
Substrate-first Approach
Build your dApp and leverage all advanced native chain capabilities through SDKs:
- Use our SDKs, Subsquid, Subquery, and Polkadot.js to build your Substrate-first applications
- Use Advanced features through SDKs
EVM-first Approach
Build a project on the Ethereum RPC. If you are already running a marketplace on other chains or are familiar with other chain stack
Do everything as usual
Write smart contracts with Solidity, deploy with Hardhat, Truffle or Remix
Manage transactions with Metamask or any Ethereum wallet
Fully compatible Ethereum RPC is waiting for you!
