VeChain’s “Act First, Earn Now” Model Sets It Apart in Web3

• Sebastain.Vet has recently explained in an X post the advantages that Vechain has over other networks founded before it. 
• One of the highlights of the thread was the Stragate Staking mechanism that was launched on July 1 as part of Vechain Renaissance. 

In a recent thread on X, well-known VeChain supporter Sebastian.Vet laid out a vision for where crypto is headed and why VeChain is uniquely prepared for what’s coming next in Web3. He opened with a statement: “The next bull run won’t be built on belief. It won’t be crypto-first. It’ll be behavior-first. And VeChain is the only chain built for that.”

This idea challenges the way most of the crypto world operates today. In Sebastian’s view, too many cryptocurrency projects ask users to simply “believe” in their future,  believe in a roadmap, believe the utility will come, and believe the hype will turn into something real.

But belief alone, he argues, isn’t enough anymore. VeChain, by contrast, has flipped that model entirely. It’s built on action. According to Sebastian, the approach is simple: “Act first. Earn now. No belief required.”

What’s Unique about VeChain?

While blockchain projects like to revolve around speculation and price movements, VeChain takes a different path, one rooted in real-world utility. Take Cleanify, for example. It rewards people for doing something as simple and meaningful as cleaning the streets.

With SupplyMe, ESG-compliant goods can be tracked across the supply chain, while Traceability uses NFC labels to confirm the freshness and origin of seafood.

There’s even ST3PR, an app that lets you earn rewards just by walking. ESG integrations go a step further, verifying the sustainability of actual factories, not just talking about it on paper.

In his words, “Every time someone cleans a park, walks 10,000 steps, scans a product, or recycles a box, VeChain captures it, logs it, and rewards it.”

The network continues to expand its footprint. As recently reported by Crypto News Flash, VeChain unveiled its Build Your Body dApp during UFC 317. This new platform turns fitness activities like running, working out at the gym, or even doing push-ups into rewards. Users earn B3TR tokens when they hit their fitness goals, bringing health and blockchain together in one experience.

VeChain has the receipts to back this up. Founded in 2015, the network has already processed over 2 billion transactions on-chain. It’s partnered with more than 50 real-world companies across six continents, proving that it’s not a theory.

On the technical front, VeChain has partnered with Wanchain, a leader in blockchain interoperability, to launch a full cross-chain bridge. This development allows users to move digital assets between VeChainThor and over 40 other blockchains, making it one of the most connected ecosystems in Web3.

Sebastian then broke it down, explaining how each blockchain represents a different kind of trust. Bitcoin (BTC) is about trusting in scarcity; there will only ever be 21 million, and that limited supply is its core value. Ethereum (ETH) asks you to trust in code, with smart contracts powering everything from DeFi to NFTs.

Solana (SOL) leans on speed, promising high-performance transactions at lightning pace. And then there’s VeChain, which stands apart by offering something more grounded: trust in proof

And the market seems to be noticing. In just the past seven days, VET has surged by 22.05%, with an additional 5.08% gain in the last 24 hours, bringing it to $0.025.
