VeChain’s ToolChain is quickly making a name for itself in the fashion industry, with big partners such as H&M’s COS, Arket, LVMH, and Givenchy. However, ToolChain goes far beyond just being a platform for major fashion houses. Custom designers and independent artists can take advantage of ToolChain’s IoT chips to make their creations come to life in the digital world while simultaneously verifying the authenticity of the product. Here’s a quick rundown:
