About VeThor Token
VeThor Token (VTHO) is the gas token of the VeChainThor blockchain, which utilizes a Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus algorithm called SURFACE. The blockchain employs a dual token system with VET as the main token and VTHO for transaction fees and node rewards. VET holders, including node operators, can cover transaction fees and participate in the VeChainThor ecosystem by earning VTHO in proportion to their VET holdings.
The addition of VeThor Token to Upbit's trading platform reflects the growing interest in tokens and blockchain technologies, providing users with new opportunities to engage in the VeChainThor ecosystem.
