Vertcoin was one of the first coins to lock in and activate SegWit. SegWit was activated May 7, 2017. Vertcoin was also one of the fist coins to lock in and active Taproot. Taproot was activated on January 30, 2021 (block 1500000).
I would revise/simplify this sentence:
Vertcoin was one of the first coins to activate SegWit on May 7, 2017 and Taproot on September 1, 2021.
Adding links for each of these makes sense as the average newcomer isn't going to know what these are and the Trezor wiki is a solid source of information that leaves out the bitcoin-specific drama surrounding the SegWit upgrade.

I think we should remove the BitcoinMagazine link. It's not authoritative for one and it's also old information now concerning Taproot activation.
