Here's where Velana is today and where it's going. We keep this honest: things that are live are marked live, and things that aren't built yet are marked coming.
Live now (testnet)
- VELA World: land, building, homes, interiors, furniture and pets.
- Website builder: free multi-page sites and a guided chat builder.
- Token launcher with a public vesting view for team tokens.
- Vel Pay testnet demo: payment links, QR codes and refunds with test VELA.
- Faucet, explorer and developer docs.
- Velana Exchange (thehubexchange.com) for wallet-to-wallet swaps.

2027: Vel Pay and Vel Card
Vel Pay is the planned payment app for paying and getting paid with crypto, and it will power real checkouts inside VELA World. Vel Card is the planned spending card, to be issued through a licensed partner. Both come in 2027 and will only handle real customer funds once authorised partners are in place.
Vision
Longer term, Velana wants AI tools that help people build sites, shops and worlds. This is vision only; nothing AI-powered is live today.
