Velas is a layer-1 blockchain that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so contracts written for Ethereum can be deployed on it and standard EVM wallets can connect. It has an origin story tied to Solana, and the project promotes high throughput and fast confirmation as its main selling points. Those speed claims come from the project itself, and real-world performance depends on network conditions.
The native token is VLX. It is used to pay network fees and for staking, which is how validators and token holders help secure the chain. The project describes fees as very low, though the exact cost of any action can vary. VLX can also be bridged to other networks, which has helped Velas connect with the wider EVM world.
The Velas-native DeFi scene is small. At the time of writing, TVL across the chain is about $125,000. Our listing includes 9 dApps, led by WagyuSwap and AstroSwap, two compact decentralized exchanges, along with Accumulated Finance Lending, which lets users borrow against liquid staking tokens. Multichain projects such as Autofarm and KyberSwap Classic also list Velas support, though most of their activity sits on other networks. Treat the ecosystem as niche and check liquidity and audits before using any app.
