According to my research:
XRP's Ledger size is over 26 terabytes and is adding about 12 GB per day. Apparently this is unprunable ...(How is this sustainable?) It is also about 65x less energy-efficient than Nano.
Litecoin's blockchain ledger size is over 91 GB and is about 150,000x less energy-efficient than Nano.
Bitcoin's blockchain ledger size is over 667 gigabytes and is about 15,000,000x less energy-efficient than Nano.
Ethereum ledger is over 1 terabyte and growing 0.8 gigabyes per day. Even with Etheruem being proof of stake, Nano is about 250x more energy-efficient per transaction.
Solana ledger is over 300 terabytes, growing several terabytes per month and is 4x less energy-efficient than Nano.
Cardano ledger is over 186 gigabytes which is more comparable to Nano, but is about 500x less energy-efficient than Nano.
