VeChain is the company behind both the VeChain blockchain (also known as VechainThor) and the VET cryptocurrency.
In particular, the VeChain blockchain (or VechainThor) supports the storage and exchange of a virtual currency called VET.
By way of comparison, Bitcoin, the most famous cryptocurrency, also uses a blockchain, but with the same name as its token.
What’s special about VeChain is that its blockchain also offers new tools (services, applications) specialized in data traceability.
For example, companies can use the VeChain blockchain to track all their products and goods, from creation to marketing.
This technology can both improve supply chain management and enable customers to track products on sale or already purchased in real time.
But it is also a tool in the fight against counterfeiting, and a means of promoting food safety.
The latter use has also found favour with American retail giant Walmart, which uses VeChain to track where and how its food products are grown, stored and transported.
VeChain is also used by brands such as LVMH, hospitals, universities and even government departments.
