Network pulse
Read straight from the public JSON-RPC endpoint every 15 seconds. These are observations, not benchmarks.
A shared record of transactions, and a place where apps run.
Velana Chain is an experimental, EVM-compatible network in The Hub Exchange ecosystem. You can send test VELA, create tokens and deploy smart contracts with the same tools you use on Ethereum.
Right now it is a single-node developer testnet, not a decentralised production chain. Use it to learn and test, not to hold real funds. The network may reset and test assets may disappear.

Everything here works now. Wider ecosystem services are aims, labelled clearly below.
VELA powers every transaction.
VELA is Velana Chain's native gas coin. On the testnet, test VELA pays for transactions and contract deployments. It is free from the faucet and has no monetary value.
$VELA
One ecosystem, everyday possibilities
The aim: make crypto easier to build with, receive and spend. VEL Pay and the VEL Card are planned services, not live integrations.
VEL Pay
The planned payments connection: help businesses receive crypto and convert it to local currency.
VEL Card
A planned connection to everyday spending through VEL Pay.
