How to buy VeThor Token (VTHO)

How to buy and use VeThor Token (VTHO) on its native network

VeThor Token (VTHO) is the resource token for the VeChain platform. While VET is the primary asset, VTHO is used to pay for the computational power required to interact with the network. Every operation on VeChainThor, from simple transfers to complex smart contract executions, requires VTHO.

Verified routes to get VTHO

VTHO is available on several centralized exchanges. We have verified the following market pairs:

• Binance (VTHO/USDT)
• Bybit (VTHO/USDT) with a trading fee of 0.1%
• MEXC (VTHO/USDT) with a trading fee of 0%
• Gate (VTHO/USDT)
• Coinbase Exchange (VTHO/USD)
• Kraken (VTHO/USD)
• WEEX (VTHO/USDT) with a trading fee of 0%
• KuCoin (VTHO/USDT)
• Upbit (VTHO/KRW)
• Bithumb (VTHO/KRW)
• Bitvavo (VTHO/EUR)

What the native network does

The VeChain network uses VTHO to manage its resource consumption. This prevents network congestion and ensures that computational power is distributed fairly. VTHO is used for the following activities:

• Transferring tokens between addresses
• Executing smart contracts
• Recording data on the blockchain
• Minting or transferring NFTs
• Interacting with decentralized applications
• Processing enterprise and consumer application activity

The network uses a dual-fee market. The base fee is the minimum amount required for a transaction and is burned, which removes it from the total supply. The priority fee is an optional payment made to the validator who produces the block to speed up the transaction.

VTHO supply is dynamic. New tokens are generated through block rewards for validators and delegators who stake VET. Unstaked VET does not generate VTHO.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

VTHO operates on the VeChain platform. If you are moving tokens to a self-custody wallet, you must ensure the wallet supports the VeChain network.

The verified contract address for VTHO is:

0x0000000000000000000000000000456E65726779

Users should use the official VeChain explorer to verify transaction statuses and address details. A common mistake is using a lookalike contract address or the wrong network. Always verify the address through official documentation or the explorer before initiating a transfer.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving VTHO from an exchange to a private wallet carries specific risks. Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for the routes listed above unless the exchange explicitly states it in their current interface. You must confirm that your chosen platform supports withdrawals via the native VeChainThor network.

Other risks include:

• Country availability and KYC requirements vary by exchange.
• Account features and withdrawal limits are not uniform across platforms.
• Using the wrong network for a transfer can lead to permanent loss of funds.

We recommend verifying the exact contract address and network through official sources before transferring any assets.

Sources and methodology

The routes listed in this guide come only from verified market-pair rows in our database. We use web research and CMC news for background and risk context. Information from CoinMarketCap page scrapes is treated as low-confidence context and is not used as proof of fees, liquidity, or contract safety. Live market values, such as price and volume, are omitted because they change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
