- Renaissance upgrade introduces NFT-based proof of stake for VET holders.
- StarGate platform enhances staking management and network participation.
- December tokenomics update increases rewards for active stakers.
VeChain’s mid-2025 Renaissance upgrade is reshaping the way VET holders interact with the network, unlocking new avenues for strategic staking and boosting overall ecosystem participation. With total staked assets rising, the network is witnessing growing engagement from both validators and delegators, positioning VeChain as a more dynamic and secure blockchain platform.
Renaissance Upgrade Drives NFT-Based Staking
The VeChain Renaissance upgrade has introduced a novel approach to staking, blending traditional token staking with NFT technology. VET holders now receive a unique NFT representing their staked amount and lock-in period. This NFT functions as a transferable proof of stake, allowing users to trade, use in DeFi, or delegate influence without unstaking the underlying VET.
VeChain CEO Sunny Lu highlighted that this integration empowers NFT holders to actively participate in network consensus and earn VTHO rewards, strengthening both the platform’s security and the user’s stake in the ecosystem. The new model also affects node operator selection, giving participants with higher stakes more influence over network governance.

StarGate Platform Enhances Network Participation
In July, VeChain launched the StarGate staking platform, designed to encourage active participation and streamline staking management. Utilizing a Weighted Delegated Proof of Stake (WDPoS) model, the platform rewards long-term, committed stakers while maintaining accessible entry for newcomers.
The StarGate platform also offers tools to organize staking activities efficiently, ensuring users can optimize returns while contributing to network decentralization. Analysts note that this approach may drive competitive dynamics among validators and delegators as the ecosystem matures.

Upcoming Tokenomics Changes Amplify Staking Rewards
VeChain’s updated tokenomics, set to launch on December 2, will further incentivize staking by reducing VTHO generation and restricting rewards to active VET stakers. This change is expected to increase the value of staking participation, giving committed users a larger share of rewards and encouraging broader ecosystem engagement.
The Renaissance upgrade, combined with the StarGate platform and upcoming tokenomics adjustments, marks a pivotal shift in VeChain’s approach to staking. By merging NFT innovation with strategic staking mechanics, VeChain is fostering a more active, secure, and rewarding ecosystem for VET holders.
