# Prizm Solutions

{% hint style="success" %}

## Analysis of the cost and energy efficiency of the Prizm network shows that the entire PRIZM ecosystem can be maintained for about $ 60,000 per year, which is now almost 2,200 times cheaper than the cost of operating the Bitcoin network.

{% endhint %}

## The cost of POW maintaining relating to the coins' holders

In addition to the huge costs of electricity, there is a hidden fee for the simple storage of bitcoins. For each block found, the one who generates the block receives a reward. At the time of writing, it's approximately a 12,5 BTC reward (for now), which is 10% inflation in the total Bitcoin supply. For every $ 1,000 bitcoin that it belongs to, a person pays $100 for bitcoin in order to "pay" miners for network security.

### May the force of Prizm be with you!
