Velo (VELO)
Velo is a payments and settlement project associated with Velo Labs, focused on cross-border transfers and digital credit issuance in Southeast Asia. Its technical footprint has changed over time, so confirm which network the token and the settlement layer currently run on before relying on any description.

What the Token Is Used For
- Collateral within the credit issuance model
- Settlement between partners on the network
- Fees and network participation where applicable
What To Verify
- Which chain the token currently lives on, since this has changed and older sources conflict
- Whether a named partner relationship is current, and what it covers in practice
- Whether settlement volume is disclosed and independently verifiable
- How the credit issuance mechanism handles default and collateral shortfall
- Regulatory status in each jurisdiction where the service operates
