Greening the Polkadot Network – Step 2 (Network Carbon Audit)
Hello everyone, This proposal is submitted by three Polkadot teams: Bitgreen, Sequester, and Evercity, detailing a common good collaboration to measure and report the collective carbon footprint of the entire Polkadot and Kusama networks, and offset their emissions with carbon credits from within the Dotsama ecosystem. It builds on the pre-existing W3F grant issued to Sequester to develop a pallet to translate parachain treasury funds into tokenized carbon credits. The following proposal resolves a prerequisite to determine a methodology, set of measurement parameters and reporting standard to measure the electricity consumption and approximate emissions of each participating parachain with real-time periodicity and verifiable accuracy. The final deliverable will be an open-sourced dashboard and the launch of the treasury-to-carbon credits pallet. Several parachain teams have committed to backing referendum on their local chains to adopt this functionality, and are excited to integrate it pending governance approval including Acala, Astar, Interlay, Bifrost and Kilt. The Dashboard and initial audit are scheduled to be finished by sub0 in November with the Sequester and Bitgreen parachain colaboration early Q1 2023.

We are happy to share the final deliverable: an open-sourced dashboard, hosted by the Web3.0 Foundation, and maintained by Bitgreen.
The Green Polkadot Dashboard provides ongoing insights into the Polkadot network’s energy consumption, energy mix and its associated carbon footprint. Several parachain teams have committed to backing the project on their local chains to adopt this functionality and are excited to integrate.
The dashboard considers three main data sources: a) the number of active nodes and validators, b) the spatial distribution of node operators and c) the type of hardware used across the network.
Call To Action: Now Parachain teams' help is needed! Include your project's carbon emission data on the Green Polkadot Dashboard!
All parachain teams are invited to complete THIS FORM, including the necessary information to understand the emissions from parachain operators.

Please verify this ID. The reason for this, is that a lack of a verified ID, makes it difficult for all proposals to prove on-chain and to people without first hand knowledge of the team, whether or not they are legitimate. Also, it perpetuates the risk of unknown malicious actors pretending to be other characters with a better reputation in future referendums.
