  • About The VeChain Foundation

The term ‘sustainability’ is often considered a matter of climate change, or Amazonian deforestation. The reality, however, is much more broad.

Sustainability is a term that encompasses many areas of environmental, social, and economic well-being. The United Nations identified 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressing a wide range of topics, including poverty, hunger, health, education, clean water and sanitation, clean energy, decent work and economic growth, sustainable cities, responsible consumption and more.

Each of these fields represent a significant upgrade to the status quo, promising to greatly enhance the quality of life for billions of people globally. The VeChain Foundation proudly describes itself as the backbone of real-world blockchain-powered sustainability. The challenges to overcome are great, but the outcomes are even greater.

VeChainThor — The Blockchain of The Digital-Sustainable Ecosystem

A key concept of our current development is the ‘digital ecosystem’. Such systems represent an evolutionary leap in terms of interconnection, information sharing and collaboration, enabled by the power of VeChain’s blockchain.

Individuals and enterprises alike play a key role in VeChain’s digital ecosystems. Smart contracts transform data into valuable, actionable insights, and empower individuals by rewarding them with tokens that can be exchanged for goods and services.

In this new epoch, blockchain returns ownership and control of data to citizens, providing financial benefit in exchange for consented provision of user data that itself contributes to a greater good. Below, we explore some examples.

Low Carbon Energy Ecosystems

By leveraging blockchain, neighbourhoods can create virtual power plants that allow excess energy, for example that of solar panels, to be distributed locally. This kind of model reduces energy-related emissions by limiting reliance on central power distribution and efficiently shares excess supply among local participants. Such an ecosystem also improves the robustness of the local energy grid, mitigating energy outage risks.

The data generated by this ecosystem can be tokenised using smart contracts based on metrics such as carbon offset, or total Wattage of energy shared. By working with enterprises and brands to make these tokens exchangeable for goods and services, VeChain further incentivises individuals and businesses to pursue positive environmental activity.

Companies gain increased brand awareness and customer ‘stickiness’ while individuals gain monetarily from their involvement. Local shops and retailers can also benefit when rewards are localised to certain geographical areas.

Check out our video on ‘Low Carbon Digital Ecosystems’ for more insights.

Supply Chain Ecosystems — Ethical Resourcing, Improved Health Outcomes, Financial Empowerment

An area VeChain is best known for is supply chain management — but the supply chain industry is a multi-trillion dollar behemoth that affects the global economy in many different ways.

As a core feature, VeChain’s blockchain creates tamper-proof records of origin, movement, and authenticity of goods, in turn, ensuring products are ethically sourced, free from counterfeits, and with minimal environmental impact. VeChain Technology, a global BaaS software/hardware company, is well known for the many solutions it has designed and delivered in this field for large global brands.

Health Outcomes

In cases of foodborne illness caused by bacteria, chemicals or viruses, impacts can be significantly lessened using VeChain’s blockchain. Each unit’s origin and supply chain history are discoverable within seconds, allowing far more effective destruction of produce or product recalls in case of emergency.

Per information shared by Walmart China, the retail giant spent significantly less time and money on inventory management, reducing the average tracking time of items from 26 hours to just 10 seconds using VeChain’s blockchain. This efficiency gain, representing multiple orders in magnitude, is just one of the many factors that exemplify why VeChain’s blockchain is the future of industry and commerce.

The result is access to safer, healthier food with greater assurances of quality and better health outcomes for all.

Financial Empowerment

Blockchains work by creating a layer of trust between market actors without the need for an intermediate authority. By leveraging this attribute, VeChain can enable entirely new levels of efficiency for supply chain finance.

In 2020, VeChain joined the APAC Provenance Council. In this ecosystem, we introduced the concept of ‘milestone payments’, which saw payments being released upon the completion of certain criteria such as the delivery of a particular good to a manufacturer, or logistics hub.

By recording information with IoT devices and hashing that data on the VeChainThor blockchain, third party payment providers can independently verify the fulfilment of terms and release funds within 2 hours, vs the multiple weeks or in some cases months, of traditional finance.

By improving access to supply chain finance, VeChain greatly enhances the financial strength and cash flow of supply chain participants and reduces financial stress.

Ethical Resourcing

VeChain’s blockchain allows smaller market participants to independently provide transparent records of transactions and facilitate new kinds of collaboration with their customers. Our partnerships with Producers Market and the Anhui Tea Association exemplify the power of blockchain as a tool to support local farmers while tangibly improving competitiveness in their respective industries.

Blockchain creates transparency at the start of production, allowing consumers to directly engage and tip farmers or producers whose products they particularly enjoy, for example, those that are ethically sourced or environmentally benign. In this scenario, VeChain enables a new kind of economy by allowing consumers to ‘vote with their wallets’, empowered by the transparency of blockchain to encourage better production and support sustainable development in parts of the world that need it most.

Decent Work and Economic Growth Ecosystems

Decent HS is a company recently revealed to be building a Health and Safety platform on the VeChainThor blockchain at B.R.E.W 2022. The company is leveraging VeChain’s to digitise assets for its partnered companies.

By leveraging blockchain technology, auditors can gain access to instantly verifiable trails of data, ensuring the validity and safety of inspection certificates while allowing businesses to demonstrate compliance and provide assurances on workplace safety for employees.

Decent HS are building their platform in support of the 8th UN Sustainable Development Goal — ‘decent work and economic growth’, ensuring safe and proper working conditions. Grant Thornton Cyprus, Authority Node and VeChain partner, provide auditing services for the firm, building the first blockchain-powered Health and Safety ecosystem.

VeChainThor — Sustainable Development Drives Global Prosperity

The above examples represent just a few of the many kinds of digital ecosystems that will flourish on VeChain in the coming years.

Sustainability is a key aspect of global development, and will be for decades to come. Sustainable development is not only about reducing carbon emissions or ensuring responsible reuse of resources, but a holistic approach to raising the entirety of humanity equitably and ethically while ensuring the prosperity of our planetary ecosystem.

VeChain’s ‘digital ecosystem’ concept represents a milestone in reaching UN SDGs — targets with a 2030 deadline. By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, we are creating benefits for every participant. We look forward to unveiling more about digital ecosystems in our upcoming whitepaper, due by end Q1.

Join us as we kick off this incredible new epoch for sustainability, powered by real-world blockchain applications on the mighty VeChainThor.

About The VeChain Foundation

The VeChain Foundation, headquartered in San Marino, Europe, is the non-profit organisation behind the development of VeChainThor, a world leading smart contract platform spearheading the real world adoption of blockchain technology.

By leveraging the capabilities of ‘trustless’ data (information without intermediaries), smart contracts and IoT technologies, VeChainThor has delivered solutions in a wide array of fields, and now turns its attention to arguably the greatest challenge of all — building technologies and ecosystems to drive true sustainability and digital transformation at global scale.

👀 Something Historic Just Happened In Colombia

Something historic just happened in Colombia.
An object was recovered, a metallic sphere that defies explanation.

Now it’s the center of an international investigation involving U.S. congressmen, physicists, and Dr. Steven Greer.

The object, called the Buga Sphere, was discovered by a local metal detectorist, Don José.

👉 At first, it weighed 2kg, then 6kg and then 10kg.

The same object, no external changes and weight fluctuations recorded live.

What kind of material behaves like this?

The sphere doesn’t emit radiation, but it does mess with electronics.

People near it reported metallic taste, nausea, and phones going haywire. David Vélez wore an anti-static suit just to touch it.

Not exactly your average scrap metal.

A second sphere showed up in Jumbo, caught on camera by a separate witness.

Same shape, movement, and equatorial line.
Italy’s top UAP analysts reviewed the footage.
The metadata was untouched, it wasn't CGI, it’s real.

Inside the Buga Sphere scientists discovered:

"The World Order That We Are Coming Into"

If XRP is the neutral bridge for all sovereign currencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets, then it’s not just facilitating payments, it’s capturing all that value at every level. From smart contracts to tokenized treasuries and digitized assets, XRP forms the foundation and backbone for everything in between.

With cross-border payments representing a multi-trillion-dollar corridor, that’s where the largest capital will flow and the greatest returns will come from.

At this point, you’re the gatekeeper to the digital economy. Everything else follows or fades away once regulations take effect.

You either see it or you won’t until it’s too late.

Musk Turns On Starlink to Save Iranians from Regime’s Internet Crackdown

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a visionary behind SpaceX, has flipped the switch on Starlink, delivering internet to Iranians amid a brutal regime crackdown.

This move comes on the heels of Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, as the Islamic Republic cuts off online access.

The former Department of Government Efficiency chief activated Starlink satellite internet service for Iranians on Saturday following the Islamic Republic's decision to impose nationwide internet restrictions.

As the Jerusalem Post reports, that the Islamic Republic’s Communications Ministry announced the move, stating, "In view of the special conditions of the country, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet."

This action followed a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.

Starlink, a SpaceX-developed satellite constellation, provides high-speed internet to regions with limited connectivity, such as remote areas or conflict zones.

Elizabeth MacDonald, a Fox News contributor, highlighted its impact, noting, "Elon Musk turning on Starlink for Iran in 2022 was a game changer. Starlink connects directly to SpaceX satellites, bypassing Iran’s ground infrastructure. That means even during government-imposed shutdowns or censorship, users can still get online, and reportedly more than 100,000 inside Iran are doing that."

During the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests, Starlink enabled Iranians to communicate and share footage globally despite network blackouts," she added.

MacDonald also mentioned ongoing tests of "direct-to-cell" capabilities, which could allow smartphone connections without a dish, potentially expanding access and supporting free expression and protest coordination.

Musk confirmed the activation, noting on Saturday, "The beams are on."

This follows the regime’s internet shutdowns, which were triggered by Israeli military actions.

Adding to the tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people on Friday, urging resistance against the regime.

"Israel's fight is not against the Iranian people. Our fight is against the murderous Islamic regime that oppresses and impoverishes you,” he said.

Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last monarch, called on military and security forces to abandon the regime, accusing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a Persian-language social media post of forcing Iranians into an unwanted war.

Starlink has been a beacon in other crises. Beyond Iran, Musk has leveraged Starlink to assist people during natural disasters and conflicts.

In the wake of hurricanes and earthquakes, Starlink has provided critical internet access to affected communities, enabling emergency communications and coordination.

Similarly, during the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Musk activated Starlink to support Ukrainian forces and civilians, ensuring they could maintain contact and access vital information under dire circumstances.

The genius entrepreneur, is throwing a lifeline to the oppressed in Iran, and the libs can’t stand it.

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin praised Musk’s action, reposting a message stating that Starlink would "reconnect the Iranian people with the internet and put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime."

"God bless you, Elon. The Starlink beams are on in Iran!" Levin wrote.

Musk, who recently stepped down from leading the DOGE in the Trump administration, has apologized to President Trump for past criticisms, including his stance on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

GENIUS Act lets State banks conduct some business nationwide. Regulators object

The Senate passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins last week, but significant work remains before it becomes law. The House has a different bill, the STABLE Act, with notable differences that must be reconciled. State banking regulators have raised strong objections to a provision in the GENIUS Act that would allow state banks to operate nationwide without authorization from host states or a federal regulator.

The controversial clause permits a state bank with a regulated stablecoin subsidiary to provide money transmitter and custodial services in any other state. While host states can impose consumer protection laws, they cannot require the usual authorization and oversight typically needed for out-of-state banking operations.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors welcomed some changes in the GENIUS Act but remains adamantly opposed to this particular provision. In a statement, CSBS said:

“Critical changes must be made during House consideration of the legislation to prevent unintended consequences and further mitigate financial stability risks. CSBS remains concerned with the dramatic and unsupported expansion of the authority of uninsured banks to conduct money transmission or custody activities nationwide without the approval or oversight of host state supervisors (Sec. 16(d)).”

The National Conference of State Legislatures expressed similar concerns in early June, stating:

“We urge you to oppose Section 16(d) and support state authority to regulate financial services in a manner that reflects local conditions, priorities and risk tolerances. Preserving the dual banking system and respecting state autonomy is essential to the safety, soundness and diversity of our nation’s financial sector.”

Evolution of nationwide authorization

Section 16 addresses several issues beyond stablecoins, including preventing a recurrence of the SEC’s SAB 121, which forced crypto assets held in custody onto balance sheets. However, the nationwide authorization subsection was added after the legislation cleared the Senate Banking Committee, with two significant modifications since then.

Originally, the provision applied only to special bank charters like Wyoming’s Special Purpose Depository Institutions or Connecticut’s Innovation Banks. Examples include crypto-focused Custodia Bank and crypto exchange Kraken in Wyoming, plus traditional finance player Fnality US in Connecticut. Recently the scope was expanded to cover most state chartered banks with stablecoin subsidiaries, possibly due to concerns about competitive advantages.

Simultaneously, the clause was substantially tightened. The initial version allowed state chartered banks to provide money transmission and custody services nationwide for any type of asset, which would include cryptocurrencies. Now these activities can only be conducted by the stablecoin subsidiary, and while Section 16(d) doesn’t explicitly limit services to stablecoins, the GENIUS Act currently restricts issuers to stablecoin related activities.

However, the House STABLE Act takes a more permissive approach, allowing regulators to decide which non-stablecoin activities are permitted. If the House version prevails in reconciliation, it could result in a significant expansion of allowed nationwide banking activities beyond stablecoins.

Is it that bad?

As originally drafted, the clause seemed overly permissive.

The amended clause makes sense for stablecoin issuers. They want to have a single regulator and be able to provide the stablecoin services throughout the United States. But it also leans into the perception outside of crypto that this is just another form of regulatory arbitrage.

The controversy over Section 16(d) reflects concerns about creating a regulatory gap that allows banks to operate interstate without the oversight typically required from either federal or state authorities. As the two Congressional chambers work toward reconciliation, lawmakers must decide whether stablecoin legislation should include provisions that effectively reduce traditional banking oversight requirements.

Dubai regulator VARA classifies RWA issuance as licensed activity
Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) leads global regulatory framework - makes RWA issuance licensed activity in Dubai.

Real-world assets (RWAs) issuance is now licensed activity in Dubai.

~ Actual law.
~ Not a legal gray zone.
~ Not a whitepaper fantasy.

RWA issuance and listing on secondary markets is defined under binding crypto regulation.

It’s execution by Dubai.

Irina Heaver explained:

“RWA issuance is no longer theoretical. It’s now a regulatory reality.”

VARA defined:

- RWAs are classified as Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs)

- Secondary market trading is permitted under VARA license

- Issuers need capital, audits, and legal disclosures

- Regulated broker-dealers and exchanges can now onboard and trade them

This closes the gap that killed STOs in 2018.

No more tokenization without venues.
No more assets without liquidity.

UAE is doing what Switzerland, Singapore, and Europe still haven’t:

Creating enforceable frameworks for RWA tokenization that actually work.

Matthew White, CEO of VARA, said it perfectly:

“Tokenization will redefine global finance in 2025.”

He’s not exaggerating.

$500B+ market predicted next year.

And the UAE just gave it legal rails.

~Real estate.
~Private credit.
~Shariah-compliant products.

Everything is in play.

This is how you turn hype into infrastructure.

What Dubai is doing now is 3 years ahead of everyone else.

Founders, investors, ecosystem builders:

You want to build real-world assets onchain.

Don’t waste another year waiting for clarity.

Come to Dubai.

It’s already here.
