Velo is a blockchain infrastructure provider that aims to use blockchain to transform finance towards maximum interoperability and regulatory compliance, starting with a decentralized settlement network. The project was created in 2020 by Chatchaval Jiaravanon, and receives support from the likes of CP Group, Stellar Foundation, Uni-President, and UOB Venture Management to name a few.
In 2022, Velo merged with Evrynet, a service provider that helps build DeFi applications. The merger allows Velo to expand into other areas of financial services.
Velo has four core platforms:
- FCX, a digital exchange that primarily serves licensed financial institutions, money transfer operators, and forex traders.
- Universe, a DEX for individual traders.
- Quantum, a remittance platform.
- Orbit, a mobile payment application that integrates QR code and allows paying with digital assets.
Velo also offers auxiliary services as follows:
- The On/Off-ramp Service
- Velo Finance, a suite of common dapps for DeFi
- Warp, a hub that enables access to liquidity across different blockchains
- Nova, an EVM-compatible blockchain
To power their massive ecosystem, Velo deploys two types of token, Vstablecoins and VELO token. Vstablecoins are stablecoins issued by Velo, and currently, there is only VUSD, a USD-pegged Vstablecoin, in circulation. Meanwhile, VELO is the pillar in the Velo ecosystem. It is used as collateral to mint VUSD, governance rights, as well as access to other perks and benefits such as trading fee discounts.
VELO's total supply: 30,000,000,000
VELO's circulating supply: 4,984,154,058
