Vechain Review – Price, Mining, ICO, Wallets

VeChain is designed to be used across a number of industries such as automative, pharmacy or agriculture.[1] The objective of VeChain is to make the supply chain more efficient, transparent and cost effective by using blockchain technologies. With VeChain different companies along the supply chain can track items through every stage, in real time, and verify information. This happens via the VeChain Identity Technology (VID) which provides a physical way to track a product.[2]

VeChain was launched in 2015 with Blockchain and than their technology was changed and modified with VeChainThor which has public Blockchain.

VeChain is basically backed with emerging technology like AR, VR, AI, Internet of things, 5G network. As they have a wide list of partnerships, such as Renault, Microsoft, BitOcean, Chian Unicorn, Hyperledger, this Supply Chain management system is going to be the next big thing in the cryptocurrency market.

Vechain rebranding and investment

Vechain – BMW

Rumors of the partnership between Vechain and BMW had been circulating in the cryptocurrency market for a while now, but as none of the firms announced anything officially, many had taken it to be just another rumor.

However, BMW is not the first car manufacturing company to partner with a blockchain firm. Recently, German mammoth Volkswagen partnered with the Berlin-based blockchain firm IOTA, to utilize the latter’s massive data pool. The increasing demand for implementing Internet-of-Things is forcing established firms to gain access to vast data pools, and these blockchain firms are tapping into that area using the efficiency of decentralized ledger technology.

Vechain Rebranding

VeChain rebranded itself to VeChain Thor, a marketing stunt which has proven successful for many projects. Recently, Raiblocks rebranded itself to NANO which resulted in a massive surge in its token prices. VeChain Thor has also announced a collaboration with Oxford University. This university will, as part of VeResearch, help with the technological development of the VeChain Thor platform.

Vechain ICO

The Medium announced the first Vechain ICO, Plair, that will be completed on the VeChain Thor Blockchain. As with other upcoming projects, VeChain is committed to provide its full support on advising startups to launch ICOs on their blockchain.

VeChain CEO, Sunny Lu, will serve as strategic advisor to assist with the company’s execution of its development plans.

ICO will start the private sale on May 25th, 2018.
