the claim

Minting NFTs on proof-of-work Ethereum consumed large amounts of electricity before the 2022 switch to proof of stake.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Minting NFTs on proof-of-work Ethereum consumed large amounts of electricity before the 2022 switch to proof of stake?

Unclear. Several sources confirm that Ethereum ran on energy-intensive proof-of-work until the 2022 merge to proof of stake, and one source links NFT growth to that large carbon footprint, but none measures the electricity consumed specifically by minting NFTs.
