# Greenpaper

Bees Beelive in Sustainability!

The **Whive Greenpaper** presents the Whive Protocol as a decentralized blockchain promoting **sustainable energy** through **CPU-based mining**. 

Built on Bitcoin’s codebase, Whive uses the **Yespower PoW algorithm** optimized for energy-efficient hardware, allowing broad participation while encouraging renewable energy adoption. 

Whive uses **Proof-of-Work** and rewards mining with ARM-based CPUs, promotes decentralization, reduces environmental impact, and supports **dual mining** of Whive and Bitcoin. 

The protocol also supports the creation of decentralized energy markets to drive renewable energy adoption globally.
