You lock an asset in the protocol and receive a liquid veToken in return — for example veETH. It keeps earning staking yield, yet stays free to use: you can swap it, add it to a pool or use it as collateral without waiting for an unlock.

No. VeraChain is a non-custodial protocol. There is no sign-up and no document upload. You connect a wallet and start using the modules within a minute.

Yield is generated from several real sources: validator rewards for staking, trading fees paid into liquidity pools, and strategy optimisation inside auto-compounding vaults. Every APR and APY shown on the site reflects live network data.

Your funds stay safe. The protocol lives in immutable smart contracts on-chain — assets can be withdrawn directly through the contract even without the web interface. The team has no access to your capital.

For base pools and liquid staking there is no lock-up — withdraw whenever you want. Extra rewards are available if you voluntarily lock VERA into veVERA for governance, but that choice is entirely yours.

The protocol fee is 0.05% — among the lowest in DeFi. Network gas fees still apply and depend on the chain you use; routing through Solana or an L2 keeps them to a few cents.

VeraChain runs natively on Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum and Base. The built-in bridge lets you move assets between all four in seconds.
