# Towards universal accounting

Menthol Protocol's mission is to make anyone's on-chain activity sustainable on any blockchain network. That means that the framework we employ to account for emissions and energy usage should be [*consistent, continuous and complete*](https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2111/2111.06477.pdf)*.* This will allow the framework to be applicable across different consensus mechanisms and network layers (L1/L2), able to adapt to network parameter changes such as the halving of mining rewards or even allow for transitioning from one consensus to another without a complete overhaul being necessary.
