The Stellar Development Foundation commissioned PwC to develop an addendum to the Blockchain Sustainability Framework addressing EU MiCA regulation requirements. The addendum provides methodologies for assessing sustainability metrics and applies them to benchmark the Stellar network's environmental performance.
The Stellar Development Foundation has released an addendum to the Blockchain Sustainability Framework (BSF), building on a 2022 framework commissioned from PwC. This new addendum specifically addresses sustainability indicators outlined in the European Security and Markets Authority's regulatory technical standards under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation. The report includes updated methodologies, new quantitative approaches for measuring e-waste, and applies these frameworks to evaluate the Stellar network's sustainability performance. The addendum serves as a public resource for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and Stellar ecosystem builders who need to comply with MiCA's sustainability disclosure requirements.
