Veloce, the world’s leading digital racing media network, is diving into the world of Web3 with the launch of its new blockchain utility and governance token, VEXT.

‍Created in partnership with MDRxTech, experts in tech development and Web3 strategy, VEXT will allow the Veloce community to truly influence and govern key decentralised Veloce assets.

The Veloce brand comprises of industry-leading gaming and racing platform, Veloce Esports, and race-winning outfit, Veloce Racing, currently competing in the renowned Extreme E championship.

Within this Veloce network are some of the most influential names in gaming and racing, including Mercedes AMG, Ferrari, McLaren, and Yas Heat, as well as established joint venture sub-brands, such as Lando Norris’ gaming and lifestyle brand Quadrant.

With the largest racing community in the world, attracting 35 million subscribers so far and hitting nearly one billion monthly views, the Veloce group represents a perfect fit for Web3.

VEXT will allow token holders to integrate within the Veloce eco-system and have tangible influence on the direction of assets within the Veloce group, including teams, talent, leagues, and content.

Token holders will also be able to transact across games and live interactive sports features, with rewards for engagement such as tokens, early access to merchandise, and real-world events for an enhanced user experience.

A VEXT integrated store, together with Veloce partners, will fully incorporate the Veloce network into a decentralised community, implementing further utility to onboard users and reward early adopters.

Details on VEXT and its platform will be released in the coming weeks, with multiple partnerships and integrations to be announced. If you're interested in learning more about VEXT, sign up on the website ahead of the public pre-sale which will be announced soon.

‍Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Veloce, said: "This is the most exciting thing we have ever done.

Our ultimate ambition is to become the first truly decentralised global sporting group."
