Collaborations

Habbo x Offsetra

The Habbo Avatars project is a collection of NFTs that live on the Ethereum network, which is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain. PoW blockchains require a significant amount of computing power to validate and secure all transactions on the network, and this is an energy-intensive process. ^[1]
Habbo has partnered with Offsetra, and has developed a carbon neutrality framework for their upcoming NFT launch. With this partnership, Offsetra will help us quantify and offset any carbon emissions associated with the release of the Habbo Avatars NFT collection. ^[2]
They plan to do this by supporting carbon reduction and mitigation projects across the world through the purchase of quantified carbon offset credits. ^[1]

As a social center for each collection, Habbo will also design aesthetic community spaces for each of the partnerships.
