This is the preface to a special issue in the journal Royal Society Open Science, themed around blockchain technology. Since this is still an emergent and interdisciplinary field, we first provide a gentle introduction into that larger topic. Then, we discuss why this technology has been criticized for not being energy-efficient.

Finally, we highlight some of the contributions made by papers in this special issue.
