VeChain is a blockchain platform that allows companies to create decentralized applications (dApps) and conduct transactions with a higher level of security and transparency. VeChain intends to solve the problems of counterfeiting, supply chain management, and data integrity with its blockchain-based solutions.

While VeChain's numbers may not be as impressive in October, the company has made some important progress on its enterprise front.

For example, on October 27, VeChain announced that they will continue to deploy VIP-220 on VeChainThor Mainnet. This is an important upgrade after which VeChain will achieve solidity and end the trade-off between choosing between scalability with high performance or instant completeness. The community passed this vote with an overwhelming majority.

The sustainability-focused blockchain is currently considering a major Proof of Authority upgrade that will integrate VIP-220 with the VeChain Thor Mainnet.

If passed with a vote of all stakeholders, VeChain will achieve solidity and end the trade-off between choosing between scalability with high performance or instant finality. The VeChain Foundation has previously stated that this upgrade will make it the "perfect real-world blockchain".

VET investors who were disappointed with a -11.5% return in three months from their tokens finally got some good news when Binance US revealed that VeChain customers can staking VET their and earn 1% APY reward in VeThor Token (VTHO)

Indeed, VeChain Stats data shows a worrying drop in its mainnet activity.

While there has been a significant increase in activity since the beginning of August, the difference from last year, when the network had more than 2 million terms per week, cannot be ignored.

Furthermore, the data obtained by SeeVeChain shows that VeChain Thor transactions are also decreasing. The daily consumption rate of VETHO, the token needed to facilitate VET transactions, can be seen as dwindling - a sign of the decline in VET transactions.

However, since the beginning of August, the daily burn rate has been setting higher, while at the same time moving sideways. This could suggest some degree of recovery and stability.

VeChain made the news in May 2022, when it offered Terra LUNA developers up to $30,000 in funding to migrate their layer 1 chain to VeChain following the terra collapse.

Global market intelligence firm IDC released a report in 2020. According to the report, 10% of supply chain transactions in the Chinese market will use blockchain by 2025.

James Wester, Research Director at IDC Global Blockchain Strategy noted:

“This is a pivotal time in the blockchain market as companies across all markets and industries continue to increase their investment in the technology. The pandemic highlights the need for more flexible and transparent supply chains.”

As the leading blockchain company addressing supply chain management, VeChain can benefit from this.

In July, it was reported that VeChain would be implementing a solution for luxury brands that often see their cheap imitations sold illegally on the primary and secondary markets. 

VeChain will implant its proprietary chipset in luxury products that will help manufacturers track their inventory and track sales in real-time on the blockchain.

On August 19, the VeChain Foundation announced via Twitter that the VeChainThor public test network has been successfully upgraded to accommodate VIP-220, also known as Finality with One Bit (FOB). The update implements a terminal that allows the network to run dual consensus modes, Nakamoto and Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus, at the same time. This move has saved VeChain the hassle of completely replacing its proof-of-authority consensus mechanism. A validator helps blockchains to execute transactions optimistically and commit them only after they have been fully validated.

The developers have clarified that FOB has an advantage over existing intent devices that follow the view-based model of the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) algorithm because nodes on the FOB are less likely to be affected. affected by network failure.

The update will also help VeChain reduce the complexity of the current proof-of-work consensus protocol, thereby mitigating potential risks from unknown implementation failures, as well as maintaining usability and network robustness.

Earlier in June, VeChain described the purpose of blocks as "an indispensable asset to a modern blockchain system as it provides absolute security guarantees for blocks that meet certain conditions. "  

The VeChain Foundation has informed its community on Twitter that as of September 5, the network will suspend token swaps from $VEN TO $VET. This feature is expected to continue once the Ethereum network stabilizes following the highly anticipated merger scheduled for mid-September.

Earlier this month, VeChain announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with TruTrace Technologies, a blockchain development company serving the legal cannabis, food, clothing, and pharmaceutical industries.

FP price has been on a downward trend since April this year. It is clear from the VET/USD chart that since VET dropped below $0.039 in May of this year, it has faced major resistance at $0.034. The cryptocurrency has been moving sideways in an oscillating pattern from mid-June to July with key support at $0.021. In early August, the pair finally broke the three-week resistance at $0.027 and rallied 24% to $0.034 on August 13.

However, since then prices have dropped again. It is currently trading at $0.024, which could also appear as new support, although one can only be certain after a few more tests. The VET price is unlikely to return to the price it was trading at before the market-wide sell-off in May.

conclusion

It is important to note that increased adoption of VeChain does not necessarily translate into increased demand for VET, as the token is primarily used for staking and governance.

VeChain is arguably the only blockchain in the supply chain vertical that has stood the test of time. Rival tokens like Waltonchain and Wabi have seen their market capitalizations and volumes plummet in recent months.

The current supply chain crisis will be a very good opportunity for VeChain to show off its capabilities, but companies around the world have turned to conventional systems instead of exploring an innovative blockchain solution. like VeChain. With that said, the supply chain tracking industry is ripe for disruption and VeChain is poised to dominate the space for the foreseeable future.

Critics have speculated that while the VeChain blockchain could prove useful, the specific utility nature of its native token, i.e. belonging to the business world, could become an obstacle. for its development.

VeChain should focus on what it is good at: enterprise-oriented blockchain solutions for logistics and supply chains.

The key factors that will affect VET prices in the coming years are:

• Increasing demand for VET through growth in dApp activity
• VeChain cross-chain development
• Stable economic environment in China
• New alliances with companies in the supply chain industry.
• Developing new use cases for VET
