📌 Crypto of the Day: VeChain (VET
🧠 What innovation and added value?
VeChain is a Layer-1 blockchain designed for enterprises, focused on traceability, transparency, and data reliability in supply chains.
Its VeChainThor network operates with a dual-token model: VET is used for value transfer and staking, while VTHO covers transaction fees. This system ensures stable and predictable costs for companies. VeChain stands out with concrete use cases, particularly in logistics, luxury goods, and agri-food, thanks to IoT integration and connected sensors to authenticate products.
💰 The token: utility and benefits for holders
VET is the main token of VeChain and plays a central role in its economy. It enables value transfers, governance participation, and generates VTHO, which is essential for using the network. Holders can stake or simply hold their VET to produce VTHO, creating a passive yield.
As network usage expands, demand for VTHO grows, indirectly reinforcing interest in VET. The economic model provides that 70% of transaction fees are burned, while the remainder rewards masternode operators, ensuring a deflationary dynamic.

Bitcoin and the Quantum Test: 2030, the Deadline of All Risks?
Quantum computing is no longer a futuristic speculation: it is gradually emerging as a major technological turning point. According to some experts, by 2030, advances could compromise Bitcoin’s cryptographic foundations. Should we be alarmed today, or is this deadline still too uncertain to call the protocol into question? Between anticipation, skepticism, and calls for modernization, positions diverge. Here’s a breakdown of a technical challenge with deep strategic implications.
Cryptography soon obsolete?
Bitcoin’s robustness relies on proven cryptographic algorithms, particularly the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), used to secure transactions. However, this architecture could be jeopardized by the rapid progress of quantum computing. For Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, the probability of a technological breakthrough between 2025 and 2030 is high enough — estimated at 50% — to justify an urgent revision of the current system. He warns that sufficiently powerful quantum computers could, in the near future, extract private keys from public keys, rendering the blockchain’s history vulnerable to retroactive falsification.
The envisaged response would be a migration toward post-quantum cryptography, capable of resisting these new computational powers. Many researchers are already working on such solutions, notably within projects listed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). However, adapting the Bitcoin protocol would require a hard fork — a source code split forcing the entire network to adopt new rules. This technical transition would be accompanied by major political choices, given that Bitcoin’s decision-making process relies on consensus that is notoriously difficult to achieve.
Between perceived urgency and pioneers’ skepticism
While the possibility of a quantum-induced flaw raises calls for action, several Bitcoin veterans prefer to wait. Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, believes the current state of quantum technology poses no credible threat to the network in the short term. According to him, it would take at least two decades before a general-purpose quantum computer could break ECDSA. He rejects the notion of urgency, arguing that the time to act has not yet come.
Samson Mow, founder of Jan3, strikes a balance between caution and fatalism. He acknowledges that a risk could materialize within a decade but maintains that Bitcoin would remain the last stable stronghold even in a chaotic technological environment. “Everything else will fail before Bitcoin fails,” he declares. This confidence, widely shared within the community, explains the slow pace of debate around the possible adoption of post-quantum cryptography.
Yet this attitude could prove problematic. Without a clear roadmap, the Bitcoin community may be forced to react in an emergency, jeopardizing the quality of decisions and network cohesion. The history of previous hard forks, such as the one that created Bitcoin Cash, shows that such transitions are fraught with divisions and ideological conflicts.
Caught between strategic inertia and calculated caution, Bitcoin is playing a tight game against an adversary still hypothetical but potentially devastating. The 2030 horizon now stands as a real-world test of its resilience — and of the responsiveness of its decentralized governance.
