Kyber Network, on the other hand, provides liquidity to various cryptocurrencies, aggregating liquidity from various sources, enabling seamless value exchange between all members of the ecosystem.
Commenting on the partnership with Kyber Network, Velo Labs Co-Founder & Vice Chairman Tridbodi Arunanondchai said that it would further enhance their efforts to build and strengthen a federated exchange network, making the native VELO token the bridging asset.

This new extension will bring smart contract functions to the Velo Protocol and connect business partner networks for staking VELO token as collateral.
