VeChain Welcomes Dana White as Official Advisor to Drive Real World Adoption of Blockchain

The following is a copy of the press release published today in relation to Dana’s White’s joining of VeChain Advisory Board.

Apr 14, 2025. VeChain, a global leader in real-world public blockchain applications proudly welcomes UFC CEO and Power Slap Founder Dana White as its newest official advisor. Dana joins Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir Konstantin Novoselov on VeChain’s advisory board to create a team focused on driving real-world blockchain adoption through complementary expertise in mass marketing and scientific innovation.

Unrivalled Leadership Meets Cutting-Edge Blockchain

Dana White, the visionary behind UFC’s meteoric rise into a global sports powerhouse reaching over 950 million households, brings his unmatched expertise in brand expansion, fan engagement, and disruptive innovation to VeChain. Renowned for his relentless drive and no-nonsense approach, White will play a pivotal role in amplifying VeChain’s flagship sustainability initiative, VeBetterDAO — a next-generation decentralized platform that incentivizes real-world sustainable actions through B3TR tokens.

White’s appointment signals a transformative shift in blockchain adoption. By leveraging his influence across UFC, Power Slap, and global sports communities, he will introduce VeChain’s technologies to a vast and engaged audience, bridging the gap between blockchain utility and mainstream awareness.

“VeChain is an incredible partner for UFC and Power Slap, and I’m honored to join their advisory board,” said UFC President & CEO Dana White. “I’m passionate about technology and with their products and innovation, I’m looking forward to helping elevate their brand to the next level.”

A Scientific Powerhouse for Blockchain Innovation

Sir Konstantin Novoselov, whose groundbreaking work on graphene earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics, continues to drive VeChain’s scientific and technical advancements. A pioneer in 2D materials, graphene research, and carbon capture, Novoselov has been instrumental in ensuring VeChain’s sustainability initiatives are backed by rigorous scientific principles.

With Novoselov’s scientific brilliance guiding VeChainThor’s development and White’s ability to champion mass adoption, VeChain has assembled an advisory team uniquely positioned to tackle blockchain’s most significant challenges: technical sophistication and mainstream accessibility.

Accelerating Innovation: VeBetterDAO and VeChain Renaissance

White’s arrival coincides with VeChain’s rollout of two groundbreaking initiatives:

VeBetterDAO — Now live on mainnet, a user-centric Web3 app platform that converts different kinds of sustainable actions into quantifiable value through B3TR tokens, thus creating the first scalable, tokenized sustainability ecosystem.

VeChain Renaissance — A 2025 protocol overhaul designed to enhance network security, decentralization, and EVM compatibility, positioning VeChain for broader enterprise adoption and ecosystem growth.

Sunny Lu, CEO and Co-founder of VeChain, highlighted the significance of this advisory team: “Dana popularized combat sports by focusing on what fans really want — he understands that VeBetterDAO isn’t about theories, it’s about winning through real actions. With Konstantin’s scientific genius and Dana’s strategic firepower, we’ve assembled a team that embodies our core philosophy: technological excellence meets practical, mass-market application.”

A New Era for Blockchain Adoption

White’s influence will extend beyond advisory support through strategic activations — from fan engagement rewards at UFC events to Power Slap challenges powered by B3TR and VET tokens. These real-world implementations will demonstrate blockchain utility to millions of consumers who may never have interacted with digital assets previously.

With White’s business acumen and Novoselov’s scientific rigor, VeChain maintains its position as the leading enterprise-grade sustainable blockchain that revolutionizes adoption through different niches and channels.
