Eco mining, explained properly
No hype and no jargon walls. These articles explain how value can come from planting trees instead of burning power, what a blockchain actually proves, how much carbon a tree really captures, and how to check any crypto project for yourself before trusting it.

How Proof of Growth works
Proof of Growth is the on-chain record that a tree exists and is still alive.
How much CO2 does a tree absorb?
A young tree captures about 5 kg of CO2 a year, a mature one 22 to 25 kg.
Why Solana
Rewarding millions of small planting events needs a fast, cheap, low energy chain.
Is PLANTAURUM safe?
Do not trust a project because its website says so.
ESG proof for companies
Companies must now prove environmental claims, not just make them.
Where to start, depending on why you are here
The articles are written to stand alone, so there is no wrong order. If you would rather not choose, here is the shortest path from each of the usual starting points.
- You just heard the phrase and want the idea. The whole model, the numbers, and what makes a record like this credible. What is eco mining
- You want to know whether the token is sound. Five checks you run yourself on a blockchain explorer. They work on any token, not only this one. Checking a token yourself
- You care about the climate maths. The year-by-year curve, what it means against a normal footprint, and what the figures depend on. How much a tree absorbs
- You want to see the mechanism. Exactly what is written to the blockchain, and why the record gets stronger every year rather than weaker. How Proof of Growth works
- You are asking on behalf of a company. What an auditor can do with per-tree evidence, and where it fits in a reporting programme. Proof for companies
- You are technical and want the chain reasoning. What the cost of a single write decides about what can be recorded at all. Why Solana
How these are written
Three habits run through all of them. Numbers come with their range, because a single figure for something as variable as a tree would be a decoration rather than a fact. Anything about the token points at where you can check it yourself, on a public blockchain rather than on our word. And the language stays plain: eco mining is a simple idea, and an explanation that needs a glossary to get started has failed before it began.
