Strategic Realignment for $VDA Growth

Verida's core focus has always been about building lasting value & inspiring a change of attitude towards securing & empowering ones digital date ownership, not chasing short-term market optics.

As part of this commitment, we are streamlining $VDA’s exchange footprint to align with our long-term vision of organic adoption and real-world utility.

This includes winding down our listing on MEXC.

Rather than continuing to allocate resources toward artificial vanity metrics like liquidity targets or market-making requirements, moving forward we are prioritizing what truly matters:

1. Launching powerful privacy-first products like Agent Kyra
2. Expanding adoption via key partnerships (e.g., Nillion, Marlin)
3. Driving demand across identity, storage, and confidential compute
4. Strengthening $VDA as the core behind Verida Network

CEX listings remain part of our long-term vision, pursued only when supported by meaningful usage and sustainable demand.
