I. Getting Started

What is veSave App

veSave is a cross-chain DeFi application that allows users to earn yield on USDC through Stargate staking. 

The application demonstrates bridging, swapping, and staking operations across the Ethereum and VeChain networks.

Application Flow

1. User deposits USDC (on Ethereum/Sepolia)

2. App bridges USDC from Ethereum to VeChain

3. Automatically swaps USDC for VET

4. Stakes VET to Stargate 

Note: This application is purposely unfinished. We're looking for talented developers to complete the challenge at the end of this walkthrough and apply for the roles listed in the VeChain Academy Jobs.
