The world’s greenest blockchain teams up with global foundations to provide verifiable donations and tokenized tracking of sustainable practices
Electronium, the next generation energy-efficient Layer 1 blockchain, today announced a strategic partnership with One Ocean Foundation, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to ocean restoration.
One Ocean Foundation is dedicated to protecting and restoring marine ecosystems and works with prominent international partners to implement projects with measurable impact. These include the Blue Forest project, supported by Pirelli and Giorgio Armani, and the Canyon of Caprera project, supported by the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative.
The partnership leverages Electronium’s ultra-low energy blockchain to provide verifiable donation channels and tokenized tracking of sustainable practices, strengthening blockchain’s role in driving transparency and accountability in environmental practices.
“We chose to partner with Electronium because it is one of the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly blockchains in the world,” said Jan Pachner, Executive Director of One Ocean Foundation. “With this partnership, we aim to demonstrate that technology and ocean conservation can go hand in hand, and open up innovative ways to engage audiences beyond traditional communities. Ocean conservation is a shared responsibility, and technology serves as a powerful ally.”
This new partnership also paves the way for the development of several impactful projects, one of which has already been shortlisted for the Premio Aretè 2025 – Award of Excellence, the winners of which will be announced on October 10th. Details of the project will be revealed during an exclusive event in Milan on October 28th.
The 22nd annual award, held at Bocconi University during the CSR and Social Innovation Fair, celebrates initiatives that embody the intersection of technology, innovation and social responsibility.
For more than 20 years, Premio Aretè has shaped the new story of sustainability through projects with tangible, forward-looking impact, and recognized outstanding contributions across business, media and culture.
This announcement comes as Electroneum officially launches Electroneum 2.0, a revitalized ecosystem built on years of innovation and global adoption. Known for pioneering milestones such as the world’s first blockchain smartphone and the onboarding of millions of users around the world, Electroneum has evolved into a developer-friendly Layer 1 offering ultra-low transaction fees and even lower energy consumption levels than Proof of Stake networks.
By combining this infrastructure with One Ocean Foundation’s scientific research, artistic projects, and global projects, this partnership will bring unprecedented transparency and efficiency to environmental financing and reporting.
“We have worked hard to be one of the world’s greenest blockchain solutions, yet one of the fastest, and we celebrate this by partnering with the OneOcean Foundation on many upcoming projects,” said Richard Ells, CEO of Electronium. “We are excited to work with them on a verifiable donation channel where supporters can see exactly how their funds are allocated to ocean projects, and enable the tokenization and tracking of sustainable practices. This will clearly demonstrate the power of blockchain to aid transparency and truth.”
Our partnership with One Ocean Foundation will enable donors and organizations to track their donations in real-time, ensuring funds are effectively directed to ocean conservation and restoration projects. We will also create a framework for tokenizing sustainable practices, allowing businesses and individuals to verify and demonstrate their environmental efforts as part of a nature-positive blue economy.
Beyond our environmental commitment, Electronium’s commitment to social impact has been long established. The company’s flagship CSR platform, AnyTask.com, has provided access to the global digital economy to thousands of disadvantaged freelancers in emerging markets. Electronium continues to demonstrate how blockchain technology, when combined with green blockchain infrastructure, can support both people and the planet.
Electroneum 2.0 positions blockchain as a sustainable, accessible, and socially responsible alternative for builders, creators, and communities around the world. By combining innovative infrastructure and meaningful partnerships, Electroneum is shaping a future where blockchain has tangible real-world impact.
