What is VeChain?
VeChain was founded in 2015 by Sunny Lu, a former technology executive at Louis Vuitton China, and its own network, VeChainThor, went live in 2018.
The focus has always been corporate use: proving product origin, fighting counterfeits and recording environmental data, in partnerships with retail, automotive and consulting companies.
How VeChain works
The network uses two tokens. VET is the main asset, which holds value and underpins validation. VET holders generate VTHO, the token used to pay for transactions. The split aims to give companies a more predictable usage cost.
Blocks are produced by a limited set of identified validators. A reform begun in 2025 introduces staking and delegation to broaden participation.
What VET is used for
- Generating VTHO to pay for transactions.
- Staking and taking part in validation.
- Traceability applications and rewards for sustainable actions.
Risks and points of attention
- Validation concentrated in a few participants approved by the foundation.
- Corporate partnerships do not always generate proportional demand for the token.
- A very large supply and low unit price can give the false impression of a cheap asset.
- Volatility typical of crypto assets.
