Solano last year had 20 billion transactions and energy usage equate to 1038 American households. BTW one solano transaction takes 65 times less energy than play 1 minute of a video game on the Playstation 5.

Of course I'm just brainstorming. An official application would need a more sofisticated system to prevent frauds
