July 16th – 1.1 million clauses:

With this new record high, VeChain’s daily mainnet activity catapulted into third highest for all public chains. More impressively, 99.74% of this transactional volume came from enterprise dApps, burning over 35 million VTHO. The mainnet now has over 10.7 million clauses (previous monthly high was 5.3 million) with only two-thirds of the month gone. With an average of over 500K clauses per day this month, VeChain is steadily climbing up the rankings of busiest public chains.

Official Mobile Wallet Update:

The VeChainThor Wallet (v1.4.1) expanded the functionality with some new features. Tokens amounts can now be displayed in legal currency values, while VTHO has been restored to its former position below VET on the asset list.

More importantly, users are now able to access Vexchange’s decentralized exchange through the discover tab. This allows users to buy or sell VET and other tokens (such as VTHO or EHrT) without having to leave the wallet.

Lastly, a reminder to keep an eye on the X-Node transfer market as one node sold for only 10,000 VET. With the average price around 400,000 VET, this was quite a bargain. Using email notifications from the Wallü wallet tool, you can be notified if someone lists an X-Node below or at a certain price point.
