The VeChain foundation has announced that it has its first VeChain Thor infrastructure partner, Esprezzo, described as a “high velocity toolkit for enterprises and individuals to build disruptive Dapps on blockchain.”

We’re excited to announce the first infrastructure partner focused on the VeChainThor Platform. @Esprezzoapp is the premier high velocity toolkit for enterprises and individuals to build disruptive Dapps on blockchain. https://t.co/aSDVWaBisW — VeChain Foundation (@vechainofficial) 20 June 2018

Esprezzo aims to build “blockchain middleware for the front-end developer” and allows developers and organisations to build decentralized apps (Dapps) which can “communicate with off-chain business data.” In this way companies can “realize the benefits of blockchain technology in the real world.”

Remy Carpinito, Esprezzo’s CEO, was sold on VeChain after attending a meetup in New York during Blockchain Week. VeChain, he said, has “one of the most loyal, dedicated and active communities I’ve encountered.” After being “struck by the energy and excitement” of its community he said he was “proud to partner with the VeChain Foundation” in order to “bring the benefits of blockchain to everyone.”

The partnership will result in Esprezzo’s EZPZ tokens being “minted and run on the VechainThor Platform” and will need VTHO to function. Esprezzo has also committed to raising at least half of its upcoming token sale funds in VET. The company has pledges to “hold VET throughout the project’s development” and only use it if “all other financial resources are exhausted.”

Blockchain gas stations

VeChain CEO Sunny Lu will now act as a strategic advisor to the company. Welcoming Esprezzo to the VeChain ecosystem Lu said that they were not just building roads, but also a “gas station, rest rooms, emergency line and all of necessary public services and tools.”

We are not just building up road. A full functional freeway needs gas station, rest rooms, emergency line and all of necessary public services and tools. @Esprezzoapp welcome to the family! https://t.co/UtW9cTuDar — Sunny “No-Any-Promotion-Link” LU (@sunshinelu24) 20 June 2018

The news has gone down well in the VeChain community. One Reddit user, “wowDarklord”, said that having “framework and infrastructural layers to ease the use of Blockchain will help adoption enormously” and that the project fulfils “a very important need within the crypto space.”
