- VeChain’s Proof-of-Authority consensus mechanism finds its uses in new protocols and real-world applications.
- VeChain is currently working on some key projects ranging from Web3 to sustainability.
Enterprise-grade Layer-1 smart contracts platform VeChain has been in the news recently and has been one of the major participants in the climate and sustainability initiatives in the market.
The VeChain network has been one of the preferred choices for several business applications as well as real-world use cases due to its Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism. Interestingly, this PoA mechanism from VeChain finds a mention in a prestigious article ‘Time Manipulation Attack: Breaking Fairness Against Proof of Authority Aura’.
VeChain's Proof of Authority consensus algorithm was mentioned in a recent journal article, 'Time Manipulation Attack: Breaking Fairness Against Proof of Authority Aura' 🔖https://t.co/WMxs4MBxFW#VeChain $VET #VeFam #Blockchain #Tech #Bitcoin $BTC #Ethereum $ETH #Technology pic.twitter.com/r36e2PJ0tI

The PoA mechanism of VeChain has been inspired by the Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) protocol thereby allowing a group of designated authorities to vote for the proposed blocks.
As a result, VeChain and other protocols using PoA don’t have to heavily rely on computational power while simultaneously allowing fast transaction confirmation. Several algorithms using the PoA have been used in several mature blockchain projects.
Furthermore, the PoA mechanism suits governance models where there would be no anonymous block producers but instead a fixed number of validators, authorized by the top committee of the VeChain Foundation.
VeChain’s Key Projects
VeChain has been working on a number of new projects and one of the most recently launched is a Web3-as-a-service platform VORJ. Besides, VeChain also had a great time at the Consensus 2023 “with the crypto, technical, and senior teams meeting talent and building connections across the #crypto-verse”.
VeChain recently launched VORJ in mid-April 2023, with the aim to streamline the blockchain development experience for businesses and developers in the Web3 world. VORJ’s ‘click-configure-deploy’ interface allows users to deploy tokens, NFTs, and smart contracts without the need for technical expertise or fees, significantly accelerating the building process.
This innovative platform merges the traditional web user experience with the capability to deploy Web3 assets using just a few clicks, overcoming any obstacle to the mass adoption of blockchain technologies. VeChain intends to upgrade VORJ continuously, adding advanced features to the platform in the future.
VeChain is also seeking to establish a strong foothold in the Hong Kong market which is currently amending crypto-friendly regulations with the goal of becoming the crypto hub of Asia. VeChain is actively pursuing sustainability projects and has partnered with the Boston Consulting Group to address global sustainability challenges. VeChain has also published a whitepaper titled “Web3 for Better” that aims to promote sustainable growth in the Web3 space. In addition, VeChain has joined the Venture Climate Alliance (VCA), a $60 billion initiative that encourages the VC industry to prioritize climate tech.
