VeChain is undergoing a monumental transformation — a Renaissance — redefining the role of VET holders from passive participants to active guardians of the VeChainThor blockchain. With an innovative staking system, revamped tokenomics, and enhanced governance mechanisms, VeChain is empowering its community to secure, scale, and shape the network’s future.
At the heart of this transformation is Stargate Staking, a bold initiative introducing NFT-powered staking backed by a massive 3 billion VTHO incentive pool, projected to be worth around $10 million. This Early Bird program incentivizes early adopters with premium rewards, turning long-term VET holders into integral players in VeChain’s decentralized architecture.
The Galactica VIPs upgrade, recently passed via community vote, kickstarts this journey. Key upgrades like VIP-251’s dynamic fee market, VIP-252’s typed transactions, VIP-242’s EVM parity, and VIP-250’s contract enhancements modernize the VeChainThor network for scalability, efficiency, and enterprise-grade functionality.
Crucially, the Renaissance replaces the traditional Authority Masternode model with a Validator and Delegator system, democratizing network participation. Through NFT Staking, users stake their VET to mint NFTs that represent their role in network security and governance. These NFTs aren’t just digital assets — they are credentials of contribution.

Each role comes with distinct power: Validators earn block rewards and shape governance with a 2.0x vote multiplier, while Delegators enjoy 1.5x voting power and flexibility to reassign their stake every 14 days. With 100% of base transaction fees burned, the network becomes leaner, more secure, and more rewarding for those who contribute.
This model significantly enhances the VET/VTHO tokenomics, reducing VTHO inflation by over 72% at launch and linking future issuance directly to staking levels. As VeBetter sustainability applications drive transaction volume, staked VET gains value — reinforcing the ecosystem in a virtuous cycle of utility, reward, and growth.
The message is clear: passive holding is no longer enough. Only active participants will earn VTHO rewards under the new structure. With the July 1, 2025 deadline approaching, now is the time to secure your Node tier, prepare your VeWorld wallet, and choose your role in the network.
VeChain Renaissance isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a movement. And in this next chapter, the power belongs to the guardians.
