Summary

Vechain started developing their technology back in 2015. During development, the Vechain team was working rigorously on achieving new partnerships. Vechain is a blockchain platform designed for products and information, meaning Vechain helps monitor and track a variety of products like luxury goods, liquor, vehicles, and other things. Vechain’s ICO started on August 18, 2017, and ended on August 31, 2017, at a price of approximately $0.24USD. Investors purchasing VEN during the ICO stage were only able to do so using Bitcoin. That is currently the only way to store VEN in a wallet with ERC20 support.

How Vechain Works

Vechain uses in-house build smart chip along with blockchain technology to track items throughout their lifecycle. The chip can be implemented in different IoT items such as QR codes, RFID trackers, and NFC chips, giving consumers the ability to access a product’s origin, logistics, and manufacturing.
