How Velas (VLX) Works
Velas is built from two main elements, eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) from Solana and DPoS consensus mechanism. The former is an architecture-agnostic technology that allows codes to run in a sandboxed virtual machine, making applications both secure and fast. The latter is a consensus mechanism that is more scalable than Proof of Work, more democratic than Proof of Stake, very secure in the event of double-spend attacks, and allegedly the most decentralized consensus mechanism till date.
In Velas, validator nodes do not compete with each other or work alone. They work together in “cluster” with everyone taking turn being the leader, so the network can maintain the integrity of the ledger while securely and efficiently processing transactions.

Saint Barthélemy, also known as Territorial Collectivity of Saint Barthélemy, St. Barth in French or St. Barts in English, is a volcanic island in the Caribbean that is an oversea region of France. It is a small island, with only 25 km2 in area and approximately 10,000 residents. The climate of the island is quite dry and hot all year round, even though there is slight difference over the year and the terrain. Being a part of France, Saint Barthélemy adopts Euro (EUR) as the legal tender and French as its official language among Saint-Barthélemy French and Antillean Creole. That being said, English is well understood by most people on the island.
