Nano Labs Joins GreenBTC.Club, Driving Eco-Evolution with DePIN+ReFi Fusion Narratives

Validated Project

On March 15, 2024, Nano Labs, a company dedicated to providing foundational infrastructure services for the Web3 and Metaverse industries, announced its formal entry into the GreenBTC.Club. This move signifies a significant step towards promoting sustainability within the Bitcoin ecosystem. This philanthropic action reflects Nano Labs' proactive stance in promoting sustainable blockchain development and underscores its long-standing commitment to environmental practices and carbon reduction, aligning with its core values.

Over the past fifteen years, Bitcoin has emerged as a cornerstone of the cryptocurrency industry, albeit accompanied by numerous criticisms, particularly regarding its environmentally taxing mining practices. Despite over 70% of Bitcoin miners utilizing renewable energy sources, and clean energy accounting for over 60% of Bitcoin mining, zero emissions remain elusive.

In response, the GreenBTC.Club was founded to address the historical carbon emissions generated by Bitcoin mining. Leveraging technologies like Web3, DePIN, and ReFi, the GreenBTC.Club seeks to achieve carbon neutrality for Bitcoin's historical energy consumption, encouraging institutions and individuals to hold green Bitcoin assets, thereby enhancing Bitcoin's societal value.

This year, the GreenBTC.Club has further upgraded its application to support the greening of all historical Bitcoin blocks, establishing an inclusive climate action network accessible to all.

Nano Labs will actively participate in the development of the GreenBTC.Club's ecological alliance and industry standards for Web3 carbon neutrality. Plans are underway to establish dedicated Nano Labs brand plots on the GreenBTC.Club map (https://greenbtc.club/blocks?channel=nanolabs), inviting the global Nano Labs community of climate activists to join in innovative practices in the ESG field, harnessing the power of philanthropy and dancing with the green Bitcoin ecosystem.

  • Cross-border money laundering group laundered HK$88 million, 8 people arrested

    The Hong Kong Police Commercial Crime Bureau locked onto a cross-border money laundering group in November 2023. The investigation found that the group recruited mainlanders to open puppet bank accounts in Hong Kong from September 2023 to March 2024. They used various types of fraud, such as telephone scams, nude chat scams, investment scams, and job scams to defraud victims. The victims were instructed by the fraudsters to deposit the stolen money into the puppet accounts controlled by the criminal group. The group would then withdraw the stolen money from the puppet accounts in cash and buy cryptocurrencies on the over-the-counter (OTC) market. They would also open accounts on overseas cryptocurrency platforms with false identities and deposit the cryptocurrencies purchased with the stolen money before transferring them to multiple cryptocurrency wallets to launder the criminal proceeds. The police also pointed out that the group used 72 local puppet bank accounts to launder more than HKD 88 million in criminal proceeds, of which HKD 6.7 million was related to 48 fraud cases. As of yesterday, the police arrested 7 men and 1 woman aged between 26 and 51 for conspiring to launder black money. They claimed to be a lifeguard, photographer, telephone programmer, salesperson, and unemployed. Six of them were core members, and two were puppet account holders.
