Energy-efficient blockchain platform Electroneum has entered into a strategic partnership with international environmental organization One Ocean Foundation, which specializes in marine ecosystem restoration. Company representatives announced this on October 8.
Under the collaboration, Electroneum’s blockchain technology will be used to create a transparent donation system and track the foundation’s environmental projects. The partnership aims to increase transparency and accountability in conservation initiatives.
One Ocean Foundation works on ocean protection and restoration together with partners such as Pirelli, Giorgio Armani, and the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative. The organization’s key projects include Blue Forest and Canyon of Caprera.
Through blockchain integration, donors will be able to track fund allocation in real time and see exactly how their contributions are being used in marine ecosystem conservation projects. The technology will also enable the tokenization of sustainable practices, allowing companies and individuals to verify their environmental commitments.
Electroneum is a Layer 1 blockchain platform with low energy consumption. According to the company, the platform consumes less energy than Proof of Stake-based networks. Previously, the company created the world’s first blockchain smartphone and attracted millions of users worldwide. The platform is now undergoing a relaunch called Electroneum 2.0, offering developers low transaction fees. The company also operates the AnyTask.com platform, which provides freelancers from developing countries access to the international labor market.
The significance of the partnership is confirmed by the joint project’s nomination for Premio Aretè 2025 — Award of Excellence, a prestigious award in corporate social responsibility and innovation. The winner will be announced on October 10, and project details will be presented on October 28 in Milan.
“We chose to partner with Electroneum because it is one of the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly blockchains in the world, – commented Jan Pachner, Secretary General of One Ocean Foundation. – With this partnership, we aim to show that technology and ocean protection can go hand in hand, opening innovative ways to engage audiences beyond our traditional community”.
“We’ve worked hard to become the greenest blockchain solution in the world while remaining one of the fastest, – noted Richard Ells, CEO of Electroneum. – We are excited to work with them on verifiable donation channels where supporters can see exactly how funds are allocated to ocean projects. This will clearly demonstrate the power of blockchain to ensure transparency and veracity”.
