The worlds First Fixed Fee Blockchain Appoints Former CFO of CitiGroup Finance

London, United Kingdom, May 9th, 2025, Chainwire

Vector Smart Chain (VSC), a Layer 1 blockchain protocol, has announced two strategic developments: the implementation of a fixed $4 gas fee model and the appointment of Peter Ritchie, former Chief Financial Officer at CitiGroup Finance, as Strategic Finance Executive Consultant. These initiatives mark a shift in VSC’s operational and leadership structure, aiming to support network scalability and financial oversight.

These developments signal VSC’s growing influence at the intersection of blockchain innovation and institutional-grade finance.

Breaking the Mold: VSC Introduces Fixed $4 Gas Fee

In a space dominated by volatile transaction fees and scalability challenges, VSC’s flat-rate $4 gas fee provides predictable costs, greater accessibility, and enhanced user confidence.

“The $4 gas fee isn’t arbitrary—it’s carefully designed to balance network security and accessibility,” said a VSC spokesperson. “We’re removing the guesswork from blockchain.”

VSC’s hybrid consensus mechanism ensures high throughput and near-instant transaction finality, making it ideal for enterprise adoption and real-world applications such as asset tokenization.

Backed by this innovation, major platforms are already moving. Notably, BESC Exchange recently announced its migration from Solana to VSC.

“We believe VSC’s infrastructure and economics offer the highest upside,” said Brian, Executive at BESC LLC.

Strategic Leadership: Peter Ritchie Joins VSC

To support its rapid growth and sustainability-focused vision, VSC has welcomed Peter Ritchie—former CFO of CitiGroup Finance—to help drive global financial strategy.

Ritchie brings decades of institutional finance experience and will play a pivotal role in:

• Designing blockchain-based sustainable finance frameworks
• Advancing VSC’s carbon initiatives
• Guiding enterprise and institutional integration

“This isn’t just about blockchain—it’s about building a transparent, resilient financial future,” Ritchie said. “VSC is uniquely positioned to lead that evolution.”

Next-Gen Blockchain with Real-World Utility

With transparent network operations via VSC Explorer, deflationary tokenomics (including a $1 buy-and-burn per transaction), and a mission to bring blockchain to mainstream finance, VSC continues to build a robust, accessible, and sustainable ecosystem.
