Build the future of the sustainable Web3 economy on vechain
VeChainThor, our Layer-1 public blockchain, is one of the most reliable, robust, and sustainable blockchains on the market. Our enterprise-grade, open-source platform is trusted by global giants, and has been a driving force of real-world adoption for blockchain technologies.
Our grant program is open to all, however, sustainability-focused dApps aligned with our vision as set out in the Web3 For Better whitepaper will score more favorably.
Specifically, a new generation of sustainability ecosystems that embody an ‘X-2-Earn’ approach, wherein users engaged with ecosystem ‘X’ gain incentives and rewards for repeat engagement.
