VeChain Featured in Messari Crypto Research Report

Leading cryptocurrency research firm Messari has published an extensive analysis of VeChain, positioning our blockchain as a “Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for real-world use cases” with a focus on sustainability and enterprise adoption.

Key Findings from the Report

Real-World Impact at Scale

Messari highlighted VeChain's practical approach to blockchain adoption, noting that VeBetter has already recorded over 20 million sustainable actions. Two flagship applications – Mugshot and GreenCart – each surpassed one million users in Q2 2025, demonstrating snowballing mainstream adoption beyond traditional crypto circles.

Real-World Ready Infrastructure

Messari examined VeChain's carefully crafted design and found several key advantages. The research highlighted our Multi-Party Payment feature, which removes the need for holding or managing crypto assets for business users, and documented our 100% network uptime since launch, testament to steady and solid foundations.

The report recognized VeChain’s enterprise ecosystem, highlighting ‘off-the-shelf’ ToolChain for its ability to facilitate enterprise blockchain applications, as well as VeCarbon for sustainability tracking. Messari noted that we "established MiCAR compliance in early 2025 to support token use across the European Union," positioning VeChainThor advantageously for regulated market expansion.

Tokenomics Evolution

Messari examined VeChain's agile dual-token economics that facilitate cost-efficacy and forecasting, while highlighting the 100% VTHO base fee burn now live following the Galactica mainnet upgrade. Their research highlighted its impact on delivering deflationary pressure to VET and VTHO, and explored how the upcoming Hayabusa upgrade will reduce VTHO inflation further, being minted only by staked VET, significantly reducing its growth.

Strategic Positioning

Messari recognized VeChain's dominant position in blockchain sustainability applications. The analysis detailed how VeChain's strategic Boston Consulting Group partnership, combined with advanced AI verification systems, delivers a comprehensive approach to solving real-world environmental challenges through blockchain technology

The analysis highlighted VeChain's strategic advantage through "tokenizing user activities that contribute to sustainability but are difficult to track or monetize using traditional systems." This approach establishes VeChain as the go-to blockchain for sustainability applications, creating a first-mover advantage in a market where traditional solutions have proven inadequate.

Renaissance Roadmap

The report examined VeChain's ambitious Renaissance protocol upgrade, encompassing the completed Galactica phase, the newly launched StarGate staking platform, and the upcoming Hayabusa implementation scheduled for December 2025. 

Messari described the transition to Weighted Delegated Proof-of-Stake as part of VeChain's "progressive decentralization" strategy, noting how the new Validator/Delegator model will "introduce economic decentralization and community governance" while maintaining enterprise-grade performance.
