What is Vechain?

Vechain is a blockchain platform designed to enhance supply chain management and business processes. By utilizing distributed ledger technology (DLT), Vechain allows manufacturers and other participants to track the entire lifecycle of a product, ensuring transparency and reducing the risk of fraud.

It operates on a dual-token system, with VET being the primary token for value transfer and VTHO used as the gas token for transactions. Vechain’s focus on enterprise solutions makes it a robust and reliable choice for various applications, including data storage in Inheriti®.

Why Choose Vechain for Your Protection Plan in Inheriti®?

Choosing the right blockchain for storing your encrypted data shares in Inheriti® is crucial. Vechain offers specific advantages and considerations that make it an appealing option for certain users.

Here’s why you might choose Vechain:

Cost-Effective Transactions

Vechain's dual-token system (VET and VTHO) ensures that transaction fees remain low and predictable. This makes Vechain an excellent choice for users who need to store data shares cost-effectively, especially if frequent updates or multiple shares are involved.

High Transaction Speed

With a block time of approximately 10 seconds, Vechain processes transactions quickly. For users of Inheriti®, this means that your data shares can be stored and retrieved with minimal delay, ensuring that your protection plans are both efficient and timely.

Enterprise-Focused Stability

The controlled environment provided by Vechain’s authority nodes offers stability, which is particularly beneficial for users who prioritize a consistent and predictable performance over maximum decentralization. This stability ensures that your protection plan's data shares are stored reliably.

Why Not Choose Vechain?

Moderate Decentralization

While Vechain offers many benefits, its network is less decentralized compared to blockchains like Ethereum. This means that some users who prioritize maximum decentralization and security may prefer other options.

Risk of Data Inaccessibility

Due to its reliance on authority nodes, there is a potential risk of data inaccessibility if there are node failures or governance changes. While these occurrences are rare, they are a consideration for users who need absolute certainty in data accessibility.

Vechain's Gas Token: VTHO

How It Works

In Vechain, VTHO (Vechain Thor Energy) is used as the gas token to pay for transactions and operations on the network. When you store or retrieve encrypted data shares on Vechain via Inheriti®, VTHO is consumed to process these transactions.

Why It’s Cost-Effective

The dual-token system helps keep VTHO costs low, making Vechain one of the more affordable options for storing data shares. For users who need to execute multiple transactions or manage complex protection plans, this cost-effectiveness can lead to significant savings over time.

When to Choose Vechain?

• Enterprise Applications: If your data storage needs are aligned with business or enterprise applications, Vechain’s stability and speed make it a strong candidate.

• Cost-Sensitive Users: Users who are looking for a more affordable blockchain solution will benefit from Vechain’s low and stable transaction fees.

When to Consider Other Options:

• Maximum Decentralization: If decentralization and security are your highest priorities, you may want to consider a more decentralized network like Ethereum.

• Jurisdictional Considerations: Vechain operates under Singapore’s jurisdiction. If your data storage needs are subject to specific regulatory requirements, this may be a consideration.
