What is VeThor Token (VTHO)?
VeThor token or energy token powers transactions on VeChain where it is used as gas. When data is added to the blockchain through data or financial transactions, it needs units of computational power. The VTHO token covers the computational gas costs for all transactions in the blockchain. However, the cost will not be the same all the time as it depends on the size of the transaction being processed.
Two tokens are associated with the VeChainThor blockchain – VeChain token(VET) and VeThor token (VTHO).
While VET carries smart money like many other cryptocurrencies, VTHO (also called energy tokens) is used to conduct transactions on VeChain. Let us understand the tokens better. The major difference between VET and VTHO is the way both tokens are used. Even though they are used on the same platforms, they differ in their usage. The more VET a user has, the higher priority he gets.
On the contrary, the VTHO token is the gas costs that confirm decentralized applications. In a way, the more VET tokens a person has, the more VTHO tokens he gets. As in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, VET is used to store and transfer value, while VTHO is considered energy tokens.

Roadmap
VeChain migrated onto its own blockchain from the Ethereum network and consequently rebranded itself in 2018. This included the VEN blockchain adapting into the VeChainThor (VET) blockchain in 2018. There are many documents here to help you find everything you need to know about VeChainThor. The preliminary target that they have established is to disrupt the supply chain industry and to do this, they will make all data within the network actionable and transparent. The blockchain also has ideas which involve having dApps and initial coin offerings (ICOs) on VeChain and the Internet of Things (IoT) platform.
