For most VeChain enthusiasts, staying up to date on the ecosystem can be a lengthy process. Information is fragmented between official accounts on Medium, Github, Twitter, Telegram, and Reddit. Websites like VeChain101 and other community social media accounts update frequently, so for newcomers or people on a tight schedule, it’s easy to miss out.

So what does VeChainLinks do?

VechainLinks (VeChainlinks.com) is a collection of all the websites, platforms and social media accounts in the ecosystem. VeChainLinks organizes them and uses APIs and RSS to pull previews of all the latest content. Want to see if anyone on the team Tweeted recently? Want to check if there are any new commits to the VeChain blockchain’s code on Github? Impatient to see if that amazing Ben Yorke made a new post on VeChain101.com? It all gets collected here. You can view the content either directly on the website, sign up for weekly highlights delivered by email, or by using a third-party RSS reader on your browser, computer, or mobile device. Most RSS readers are free, although some premium ones offer more customization options. Whichever way you prefer, VeChainLinks is built to be agile.

Using a free RSS reader plugin on Google Chrome

What seems like a simple solution – can turn into a massive time-saving tool. For people just learning about VeChain, it can also be a great way to show off the scope of the platform, with over 100 links to different developers, projects, tools, and team members. If all the links feel overwhelming, users can toggle the Filter button to only display accounts or websites with unread updates.

2. For people looking for a particular site, person, or tool
3. For people to actively monitor new updates and activity
4. For people to passively monitor updates through email or RSS

How can I install an RSS Feed?

The easiest way is by downloading a third-party RSS feeder on your mobile device, or searching for a plugin on your browser of choice. Just google “RSS Reader” or search for it in an app store. Once you’ve installed the app or plugin, you can add the VeChainLinks feed: https://vechainlinks.com/rss/

Who made this?

Like many things on VeChain, VeChainLinks was a community effort. Developer AByteAhead and VeChain101 founder Ben Yorke originally created the idea as a simple link repository for personal use. Shortly after, they realized that it would be a lot more useful if content could be updated automatically, saving them from having to visit different platforms to check for updates. They turned to other developers and community members like VeChainStats and Veriarti for help building, testing, and fine-tuning the site. In the future, they are planning more updates to improve the UI, UX, and quality of information on the platform.

To try it out, head over to VeChainLinks.com and give it a test run.
