They enjoy the benefits of minimal fees on a secure blockchain. Velar’s multi-chain strategy plays a vital role in accelerating the adoption of DeFi within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Beyond its core function, VELAR offers a wider range of utility within the Velar ecosystem. Users can leverage VELAR for various purposes, including payments for goods and services, active platform engagement, and accessing opportunities such as Initial Dex Offering allocations, liquidity provider rewards, and participation in liquidity protocols offering boosted yields.
