Key Takeaways
- VeChain introduces a three-tier Eco Node system—Dawn, Lightning, and Flash—lowering staking entry to 10,000 VET and expanding access to network rewards.
- Ahead of the July 1 StarGate upgrade, VET price eyes a potential 12.88% breakout as technical indicators show bullish pressure despite recent declines.
On June 5, VeChain introduced a new three-tier node structure as part of its “Renaissance” initiative, designed to simplify and broaden access to network rewards. The new Eco Node system includes the Dawn, Lightning, and Flash nodes—each offering different reward multipliers based on the amount of VET staked.
- Dawn Node starts at 10,000 VET with a 1.0x reward rate.
- Lightning Node requires 50,000 VET and offers 1.15x rewards.
- Flash Node, the highest tier, begins at 200,000 VET and grants a 1.3x multiplier.
Importantly, users can combine nodes to match their holdings without needing to restructure them entirely—an approach aimed at encouraging wider participation from smaller investors.
StarGate Upgrade and Bitrue Staking Boost Adoption
The node system rollout comes ahead of VeChain’s major StarGate upgrade, scheduled for July 1, which will revamp validator governance and change the distribution rules for its gas token, VTHO. Users adjusting their VET holdings now could benefit from bonus rewards once the update goes live.

In addition, VeChain announced a new partnership with Bitrue Launchpool, allowing users to stake VET and earn B3TR tokens. With over 82,000 B3TR available for distribution, the move further incentivizes long-term token holding and platform engagement.

VET Price Outlook: Bullish Momentum Building
Despite a recent 2.89% dip in price to $0.02314, VeChain’s trading volume surged over 67% to hit $60.81 million, signaling heightened investor interest. While open interest in derivatives dropped 6.62% to $64.06 million, the positive funding rate of 0.0080% hints at a bullish bias.
Technical analyst Dynamite_Fix suggests that VET/USDT is approaching a breakout from its current descending channel. If successful, VeChain could target price levels of $0.02530, $0.02565, and $0.02612—representing a potential 12.88% upside from current levels.
With lower staking thresholds, enhanced scalability, and strong technical signals, VeChain is positioning itself for a pivotal rally in the weeks ahead.
