VERY Network Listing: What Is Happening Behind the Scenes? VeryChat CEO Bryan Ko has published a detailed letter addressing the most-asked question in the community: when does the VERY Networ
VeryChat CEO Bryan Ko has published a detailed letter addressing the most-asked question in the community: when does the VERY Network listing actually happen? Following up on a live meetup Q&A he said left some answers incomplete, Ko laid out, point by point, why a date can't be given, what's actively in progress, and why he says the team shares the same incentive as holders to see the launch succeed.
Per Ko's letter, the core constraint is structural, not evasive:
A launch requires negotiation with multiple exchanges, and the project itself can't set or confirm a timeline unilaterally
Exchanges, not projects, announce listings. Per common exchange practice, if a project discloses a launch before the exchange's own official notice, the listing itself can be cancelled
That means, in Ko's words, it is "structurally impossible" for VERY Network to be the one announcing a launch date
Holders will hear debut news first through the exchange's own official announcement, with VERY Network following up immediately on its own channels afterward
This directly addresses a pattern common across mining-app and presale tokens generally, where communities pressure teams for a specific date the team may not legally or practically be able to give.
Ko outlined concrete, current-stage activity rather than only reassurance:
Listing proposals have been received from multiple exchanges
The team is preparing review documents, a security audit, and legal opinions
COO Jaeyong will meet exchange representatives in person at TOKEN2049 Singapore in October
Whitepaper 2.0 and a website renewal are planned as part of preparation
This builds on the project's broader 2026 timeline, which has included a completed wallet migration in August — moving mined balances from the app's internal ledger onto the blockchain as actual on-chain coins — alongside ongoing staged KYC verification rounds for holders.
Ko directly addressed community skepticism about whether international growth actually benefits the company, given Korea has historically generated outsized ad revenue relative to its user count. His response:
Point
Detail
Global vs. Korean revenue
Global revenue surpassed Korean revenue last year
Ad market reach
VERY Network now generates ad revenue from over 170 countries
Ad rate comparison
Per-user ad rates remain lower outside Korea, but the much larger global user base offsets this
Cost structure
New CTO and infrastructure improvements mean server costs don't scale exponentially with overseas user growth
Ko's summary framing: "User growth drives revenue, not costs." He also clarified an earlier comment about the company reaching break-even, saying that milestone means the service can sustain itself without outside funding — but it's still short of the scale needed to hire additional core team members and accelerate global expansion. In his words, strong revenue doesn't make a launch unnecessary.
Ko pointed to the team's own token structure as evidence its incentives are aligned with holders, not in tension with them:
Team tokens don't begin unlocking until more than one year after launch
With the project approaching its three-year founding anniversary, Ko noted that even a listing today would mean early team members — including himself — wait over four years before receiving their first rewards
Ko's framing: a listing that comes too late hurts holders and team momentum alike, so "the team and the holders want the same thing"
On timing itself, Ko was explicit about caution: among free mining apps broadly, he said there's almost no precedent of a project successfully sustaining growth beyond its launch. VERY Network's stated goal is to be the exception, which he says requires more preparation, not less.
VERY Network's CEO letter doesn't provide a listing date — by his own explanation, it structurally can't. What it does provide is a more detailed accounting of what's actually in motion: multiple exchange proposals, audit and legal work underway, an in-person exchange meeting planned for TOKEN2049 in October, and a token structure that ties team rewards to long-term project health rather than the listing event itself. As Ko's letter states directly, any listing-related details remain subject to change based on exchange negotiations and market conditions, with confirmed updates to come first through VERY Network's official channels.
