This guide will explain how to accurately calculate your Velas crypto taxes in seconds, all without using an accountant that could be expensive and unfamiliar with crypto tax.

What is Velas?

Velas is a layer 1 EVM blockchain that is carbon neutral and capable of processing up to 50,000 transactions per second. The blockchain’s high scalability means it has some of the lowest transaction fees in crypto, with average transaction fees of around $0.00001.

Velas’s high-speed transaction processing makes it ideal for NFTs, but the network is also a DeFi hub for staking, lending and trading.

One of the great things about Velas is its high scalability while being compatible with other EVM chains. This means developers can easily migrate dApps to Velas, where users can pay fewer fees and get faster transaction finality.
