VeChain TOR Wallet

VeChain has ensured its TOR Wallet is up to date along with the token swap. Unlike Tron and EOS, which started on Ethereum’s platform and proceeded to constantly attack it after leaving, VeChain has instead chosen to honour Ethereum’s foundation.

As they say ‘Don’t fix what’s broken’ and that’s precisely what VeChain did.
