What it actually costs to sell VET
Selling $100,000 of VET into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coinbase VET/USD | 1.94% | $98,059 | 2026-10-28 |
| Kraken VET/USD | 51.6% | $48,377 | 2026-10-28 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps VET on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What VeChain is
VeChain is a public Layer-1 blockchain built for real-world applications such as supply chains, product provenance, sustainability tracking, digital product passports and verifiable data. It was founded in 2015, and its network, VeChainThor, is designed to serve both enterprise and consumer use cases.
VeChainThor runs EVM-compatible smart contracts alongside a dual-token structure: VET is the network's native asset and serves as staking collateral, while VTHO is a separate token spent on transaction fees and contract execution. The network also supports native fee delegation, which lets one party sponsor the fees for another, and multi-clause transactions, which bundle multiple actions into a single transaction. Around this base layer sits an ecosystem of applications — VeBetter, which rewards verified actions; StarGate, an NFT-based staking platform; VeWorld, a self-custody wallet; and VeWorld.ai, an AI-agent platform. VeChain has also carried out enterprise and sustainability initiatives with organizations including Walmart China, DNV, PwC, Boston Consulting Group and UFC.
VeChain is classified as an Internet of Things and Smart Contract Platform project on the Layer-1 category, with activity recorded since mid-2017. Because fees are paid in VTHO rather than VET, holding or staking VET does not by itself cover the cost of using the network — a second token is required for that. Partnerships with large organizations describe pilot or initiative-level work on supply-chain and sustainability tracking; the source does not establish that these produce ongoing transaction volume on VeChainThor, and figures the project has reported about user or application counts are tied to a specific roadmap update rather than stated as durable totals, so they are not repeated here.

Our own measurement · measured 28 October 2026
Staked VET earns VTHO, the separate token that pays the fees on VeChain. VET is staked by delegating it to a validator through StarGate, VeChain's staking platform, or by running a validator with 25 million VET.

VeChain runs programs stored on its chain, but VET does not pay for them. A second token, VTHO, pays for every transfer and for running a program. Each app is its own code with its own flaws.

The total supply of VET is fixed at 86,712,634,466, and its docs say no new VET will ever be created.

About the asset
VeChain has no token contract — it is the native asset of its own chain, not a token issued on someone else's.
