How Velas (VLX) Works
Velas is built from two main elements, eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) from Solana and DPoS consensus mechanism. The former is an architecture-agnostic technology that allows codes to run in a sandboxed virtual machine, making applications both secure and fast. The latter is a consensus mechanism that is more scalable than Proof of Work, more democratic than Proof of Stake, very secure in the event of double-spend attacks, and allegedly the most decentralized consensus mechanism till date.
In Velas, validator nodes do not compete with each other or work alone. They work together in “cluster” with everyone taking turn being the leader, so the network can maintain the integrity of the ledger while securely and efficiently processing transactions.

An overseas department of France situated along the northern Atlantic coast of South America, French Guiana spans more than 83 square kilometers and is the second largest region of France as well as the largest and outermost region within the European Union. Despite its size, the nation has a very low population density, with less than 300,000 inhabitants, almost half of which reside in the capital city of Cayenne.
In fact, a staggering 98.9% of the French Guiana’s landmass is covered by forests, and the Guiana Amazonian Park – the EU’s largest national park – covers more than 40% of French Guiana itself. This makes the country a perfect destination for those looking for adventures in nature, whether it’s visiting the Zoo de Guyane, taking an excursion to the Devil’s Island, bird watching in the Marshes of Caw, or relaxing on the Rémire-Montjoly Beach. If you also happen to drop by Cayenne, be sure to visit the city’s central market, located near the Place des Palmistes.
The official currency of French Guiana is the Euro (EUR), and with direct support from Bitget, you can purchase Velas(VLX) in just a matter of minutes, no matter where you are in the country, from Cayenne to Matoury to Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni.
