VRT is not issued today

This is the starting point because it is the only verifiable one: the VeraTrace codebase contains no minting, no transfer and no on-chain address. What exists today is a count of documented work — how many batches you have traced, how many proofs you have sealed. Nothing more.

No issuance date has been set. Until there is one, there is nothing to buy, nothing to sell, and nothing whose value can rise or fall.

What VRT is

  • A unit recognising documented work: it is earned by tracing, never bought.
  • Access to platform services (certifications, quality badges) and, in time, to governance functions.
  • Partly reserved for member producers — that is what "digital cooperative share" means here.

What VRT is not

  • An investment. It cannot be bought and guarantees no return.
  • A share, an equity stake, a debt instrument or a financial instrument.
  • A currency. There is no wallet to install and no price to watch.
  • A cooperative share in the legal sense: VeraTrace SAS is not a cooperative under the French law of 1947.

No promise of value

VeraTrace promises no return, no capital gain, and no appreciation tied to network growth. If a token is ever issued, its value may vary and may fall to zero. Any past communication suggesting otherwise is void and superseded by this page.

What would apply if the token were issued

VRT would then be a utility crypto-asset under the European MiCA Regulation (EU 2023/1114): an asset intended to give access to a service provided by its issuer, not a financial instrument.

  • A compliant white paper would be published before any offer to the public.
  • The detailed risk factors — total loss, liquidity, volatility, regulation — would apply in full.
  • Certain jurisdictions would remain excluded.
  • The formal cooperative structure would be examined at that point, not before.

Why this page exists

Because the site carried five different versions depending on the page, and an external audit caught it before we did. A producer read "no crypto"; an investor read "value growing with the network". Both could not be true. This page is now the single source; the others refer to it without restating it.

Frequently asked

Do I need to understand blockchain to use VeraTrace?

No. Nothing to install, nothing to understand: an invisible timestamp seals your proofs. VRT changes nothing about your day-to-day use of the platform.

Can I buy VRT?

No. It is not issued, so no purchase channel exists. Treat any offer claiming to sell it as fraudulent — it does not come from us.

What happens to my points if the token is never issued?

The count of your documented work stays what it is: a record of what you have traced, visible in your dashboard. It does not depend on any issuance to exist.

Is VeraTrace a cooperative?

No, not under the French law of 1947. VeraTrace SAS operates in the cooperative spirit — a share reserved for member producers, governance moving towards an assembly model — but does not hold that legal status.
