- The tokenization market is projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, and Vechain, a layer 1 blockchain, is taking the lead.
- Sebastian.vet, has been an advocate for the Vechain network, and recently, he has posted an X thread emphasizing Vechain’s role in RWA.
VeChain, a blockchain platform powered by its native token VET, focuses on practical use cases, helping companies turn physical products and processes into trusted digital assets. What really makes it unique is how it’s linking sustainability with finance, by creating ESG-compliant, tokenized assets that businesses can actually use and move around the globe.
Sebastian. Vet a Vechain Ambassador has posted a long thread titled, “RWAs in Action: Why VECHAIN Is Quietly Building the Backbone of the Tokenized World”. Let’s first understand the basics. RWAs are physical or real-world assets, like real estate, commodities, bonds, or even carbon credits, that are tokenized on a blockchain. This allows them to be traded, fractionally owned, or used as collateral in a secure and transparent manner.
According to Sebastian, most blockchains weren’t built with real-world assets (RWAs) in mind, and that’s a problem. They’re missing key pieces like identity verification, transaction finality, ESG data, audit trails, and the real-world tools needed to connect blockchain to physical assets. That’s where VeChain stands out.
VeChain’s Role in Tokenizing RWAs
VeChain’s RWA stack is purpose-built to make tokenizing real-world value simple, scalable, and trustworthy. It starts with Proof of Authority (PoA 2.0). This is a fast and eco-friendly consensus mechanism that ensures quick transaction finality without the energy drain of traditional mining. Then there’s its dual-token model, where VET is the main value token for the network.
VTHO covers transaction fees, keeping costs stable and predictable for businesses. We previously covered that VeChain’s ToolChain is a no-code platform that lets enterprises tokenize assets and manage supply chains without needing to write a single line of code, making it accessible to non-technical users. On the identity front, VeChain embeds NFT-based digital identities into assets, so products, documents, or even crops can be traced and verified.
For sustainability, VeChain integrates ESG data via DNV, a global assurance firm that gives companies tools to verify and report their environmental and social impact. Finally, B3TR is the behavior-based governance token. The token helps guide decision-making within the ecosystem by rewarding meaningful participation and long-term alignment with VeBetter DAO. Sebastian emphasized,” Recycle something = get rewarded, Use a green app = earn, Refer a user = score trust points.”
In addition, CNF noted earlier that on July 1, we will see the launch of StarGate, a stacking mechanism under the second phase of Vechain Renaissance, Hayabusa. Sebastina states that, “The Stargate Upgrade makes VeChain: Fully EVM-compatible, Deployable with MetaMask + Solidity, Open to Ethereum dApps, Still retains all RWA strengths and Infrastructure meets interoperability.”
VeChain is putting value behind its push for growth, rolling out a $15 million VTHO incentive program that will reward early participation. To make things easier for users, they’ve also introduced two helpful tools to estimate potential rewards: the VeChainStats VTHO Staking Estimator and Redeno’s Staking Calculator.
He then provided an example of Vechain’s impact. BMW and VeChain teamed up to bring transparency and efficiency to the auto industry by putting vehicle parts’ entire lifecycle on the blockchain. BMW uses VerifyCar, a dApp built on VeChainThor that logs every vehicle interaction. From manufacturing to maintenance, every step is recorded and verifiable.
He concluded with,” The RWA narrative is real. But VeChain isn’t riding the wave. It built the ocean. Tracked, Tokenized, Verified, Rewarded, and Governed.”
