Forget about the current buzz around NFTs and DeFi; VeChain is shifting its focus towards practical actions like recycling and driving electric vehicles to enhance blockchain utility.

At a recent event in Toronto, CEO Sunny Lu presented a vision aimed at incentivizing sustainable behaviors through blockchain technology. The innovative approach intends to merge tangible outcomes with digital rewards in a manner seldom seen in the industry.

“We’re not just tokenizing big assets,” explains Lu. “We’re tokenizing the invisible ones that didn’t have market value before.”

VeChain began exploring this concept back in 2019 with a partnership with BYD to monitor electric vehicle mileage and generate carbon credits.

VeChain is integrating AI to improve the user experience with its blockchain. A virtual assistant named “BMO” will help users manage staking, engage with applications, and optimize their tokens.
“People don’t want to memorize seed phrases,” Lu noted. “They want to log in using their social accounts or Tesla credentials.”

Strong Partnerships and Growing Ecosystem

VeChain is committed to refining supply chain efficiency to prevent crises like those witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic or the financial crash of 2008. Since its inception in 2015, the platform has established a network of partnerships, collaborating with major corporations such as Walmart, H&M, and BMW, while gaining endorsements from Chinese regulatory bodies which allow citizens access to investment opportunities without hesitation.

UFC’s Dana White has also signed on as a strategic advisor, boosting the project’s profile during a period when it ranks 51st by market cap.
