Representative Hardware Set

Proof of Work currencies​

For PoW currencies, we rely on hardware info published by ASICMinerValue.com. For Ethereum (pre-merge), data from whattomine.com is used.

Proof of Stake, Proof of Authority, and other consensus-based currencies​

For our measurements and estimates of sustainability indicators, we rely on a reference hardware set based on these three machines:
