VeChain has gained recognition after Acta Logistica, being spotlighted as a key infrastructure leader in modern logistics. This demonstrates how VeChain is evolving from niche blockchain use cases into providing solutions in the global supply chain system. In a recent post on X, VeChain enthusiast Sebastian. Vet shared some news from the academic space: the June 2025 issue of Acta Logistica, a respected, peer-reviewed journal from Slovakia that specializes in logistics, transportation, and supply chain research, spotlights VeChain as a key infrastructure leader in modern logistics. The feature emphasizes VeChainThor’s impressive reach, stating that the blockchain “supports more than 100 product lines and services, enabling supply chain transparency for companies like Walmart.” This recognition reflects years of real-world progress. Since 2019, Walmart China, working alongside PwC China and VeChain, has been deploying a blockchain-powered traceability system built on VeChainThor. Products sold in Walmart stores are tagged with QR codes, NFC chips, or RFID labels, allowing customers and stakeholders to trace each item’s origin, logistics journey, and safety checks in real time. The report appears in the section titled Retail Logistics and Support, alongside other notable use cases such as Nestlé’s Food Trust platform, which leverages blockchain to trace ingredient sourcing and help consumers better understand what’s in their food, and MediLedger, which manages pharmaceutical supply chains in line with EPCIS standards. The article also contextualizes these advancements in a broader industry shift, noting that “the development of blockchain technologies indicates that the market is evolving under the influence of growing demand for secure and efficient digital transactions, the need for transparent supply chains, and rising interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.” For VeChain and its supporters, recognition in Acta Logistica is more than an academic mention; it’s further validation that the platform is driving enterprise-grade impact in the real world. Real-world adoption at scale Through VeChain’s collaboration with DNV, the “Bright Code” initiative leverages VeChain’s blockchain to create immutable digital records for agricultural products, helping brands fight counterfeiting and build consumer trust by allowing end users to verify authenticity at every step of the supply chain. Another success is FoodGates, a cross-continental food and beverage trading platform that uses VeChain’s tech to secure product origin data, a critical feature in combating fraud and ensuring international quality standards. As CNF has reported before, VeChain’s capabilities also extend to sustainability. It powers carbon footprint tracking, ESG compliance, and circular economy data logging, working with companies like HYDRO and Mercedes-Benz to certify and trace low-carbon aluminum. Its tech is even used in environmental initiatives like The Ocean Cleanup and ReSea Project, where blockchain is used to track recycled plastics and validate their environmental impact. On the technical side, VeChain operates on a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism, meaning blocks are validated by known, identity-verified nodes. This ensures faster, more energy-efficient processing without sacrificing security. Trusted enterprises such as PwC, Microsoft, Kuehne + Nagel, and LaContractSecure have partnered with VeChain for solutions in auditing, certification, logistics, and beyond. In healthcare, VeChain is used in China’s pharmaceutical cold-chain logistics, tracking medicine storage and delivery to ensure safety, while in Cyprus, the E-HCert app helped log COVID test results on-chain, giving patients secure, decentralized control over their health data.
