Read on to learn everything you need to know about the Velas project and the Velas VLX token.

What Is Velas?

Velas ( VLX ) stands for Virtual Expanding Learning Autonomous System.

Velas is a blockchain network that implements an AI-powered Delegated Proof-of-Stake (AIDPoS) consensus mechanism for dramatically improved scalability, high security, and interoperability. The system leverages AI technology to generate the best possible results, reducing the cost of consensus and resulting in one of the fastest blockchains out there.

Velas is known as the world’s first fastest EVM/eBPF Hybrid Chain blockchain that can process up to 75 000 transactions per second with instant finality, low fees, and Solidity support.

Velas provides a wide range of Web3 and blockchain technologies for users and developers. It focuses on the user experience and aims to become one of the industry's fastest and most robust platforms. As a fork of Solana, the platform addresses the issue of scalability by complimenting the Solana-based solution with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) support. This provides cross-chain functionalities that allow Ethereum-based applications to operate on Velas’ blockchain.

VLX token is native to the Velas platform.

Velas Founders

Alex Alexandrov co-founded Velas in 2019. Alexandrov is a Canadian citizen famous for having founded Coinpayments, one of the leading payment gateways for cryptocurrencies.

Alexandrov started as a trader with a background in investing in various assets, including derivatives. His 15+ years of experience in IT allowed him to build Coinpayments and Velas, together with a team of top engineers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. In December 2021, the Velas team announced a repositioning of its management staff, with Alex Alexandrov moving from the CEO to becoming the Chief Innovations Officer (CIO).

Farhad Shargulyamov, Velas' co-founder, is now the current CEO. Shagulyamov became a cryptocurrency investor and started a technology company in China in 2016. The partnership with a wealth management company in Switzerland created the first ISIN, the first cryptocurrency international security identification number.

How Does Velas Work?

At the heart of the Velas blockchain is the AIDPoS algorithm, controlled by a theoretical system called Artificial Intuition. This system functions to make Velas a very fast and efficient blockchain by collecting, identifying, and evaluating patterns and relationships across incoming and outgoing datasets. Artificial intuition tries to find the perfect balance between artificial software and human consciousness. The AIDPoS proactively adjusts the blockchain configuration to maintain security, decentralization, and performance.

In addition to the AIDPoS, the Velas Blockchain uses the Solana blockchain codebase with additional Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) functionality. These additional features make the blockchain very versatile and promote cross-chain functionalities that accommodate Ethereum-based applications in the blockchain.

Velas Token

Velas (VLX) is the utility token of the Velas network. The VLX token fuels the Velax blockchain, powers smart contracts, and is used to pay for transactions within the blockchain. The VLX token is essential for transacting throughout the ecosystem and supports the AIDPoS consensus mechanism. It enables block producers to achieve consensus throughout the network and earn staking rewards for creating blocks.

It's also used as a means of exchange across many decentralized applications on the Velas blockchain.
