DOT price forecast: can Polkadot dominate the industry through its low energy consumption?

Polkadot DOT/USD is a protocol developed as a means of connecting blockchain networks, allowing value as well as data to be sent across previously incompatible networks.

The DOT is the native cryptocurrency token that’s used for staking as well as governance.

Low energy consumption as a catalyst for growth

Research conducted by Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI) has given us a perspective that Polkadot consumes less energy than the top cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin BTC/USD, Ethereum ETH/USD, and Solana SOL/USD.

In fact, according to the search, Polkadot consumes 6.6 times the electricity consumption of an average US household within the span of a year. 

This low energy consumption has led to Polkadot comparisons to its peers and has also fueled a bullish outlook for the DOT token to cryptocurrency investors.

With the environmental impact that is connected with cryptocurrencies, DOT is seemingly one of the most eco-friendly options at the moment.
