VeChain StarGate Goes Live July 1: Earn Up to 35,000 VTHO Daily by Staking $VET

As the blockchain community prepares for the upcoming Hayabusa upgrade, excitement is surging among VeChain ($VET) supporters. Slated for release on July 1, 2025, Hayabusa introduces the long-anticipated StarGate staking mechanism, a transformative step in VeChain’s roadmap designed to reward loyal token holders and reshape the ecosystem’s tokenomics.

Tiered Node System Offers Lucrative VTHO Rewards

According to Splendid, a VeChain Ambassador, the new staking system will offer a variety of entry points through a tiered node structure. Users can stake as little as 10,000 VET for a Dawn Node, while high-level investors can opt for the Mjolnir X Node by locking up 15.6 million VET. The potential rewards are significant: up to 35,000 VTHO daily for the top-tier node. Mid-tier options like the Thunder X and VeThor X nodes still offer attractive yields of approximately 9,800 and 550 VTHO, respectively.

To kickstart participation, the VeChain Foundation is injecting 5.48 billion VTHO (valued around $14 million) into the ecosystem as incentives. This aggressive push aims to drive staking activity ahead of the StarGate activation.

A Leap Toward Sustainability and Privacy

Beyond staking, Hayabusa represents a fundamental shift in VeChain’s design. The upgrade will introduce 100% transaction fee burns, aligning with efforts to increase the scarcity—and thus potential value—of VET. Furthermore, enhanced privacy features, including zero-knowledge proofs, will soon be implemented, boosting user confidentiality and network efficiency.

The Hayabusa phase follows Galactica, which launched VeChain’s Dynamic Fee Market testnet in March 2025. Together, these upgrades set the stage for the platform’s final evolutionary step: Intergalactic.

Eyes on the Intergalactic Horizon

Following Hayabusa, VeChain’s Intergalactic phase will open doors to over 40 blockchain networks via Cross-Chain Bridges, streamlining asset and data transfer. Alongside enterprise-grade dApp tools, this phase positions VeChain for broader adoption across industries.

VeChain has already surpassed 2 million unique wallets performing sustainable actions, a milestone shared by Vineet Singh on May 29. With $VET trading at $0.02475 and daily volume surpassing $41 million, the community’s focus is now on StarGate’s launch—hailed as the gateway to a more decentralized, high-performance blockchain future.
