- VeChain activates the StarGate 2.0 upgrade and introduces a new staking system connected to Hayabusa.
- The transition phase to the final implementation of Hayabusa runs until December 9th – after which the distribution of the bonuses begins.
VeChain launches StarGate 2.0 on mainnet, moving to a delegation-based staking model that increases the utility of VET tokens. The upgrade comes as part of Hayabusa’s mainnet activation, a milestone in the comprehensive VeChain Renaissance roadmap.
StarGate 2.0 is now officially live!
Delivering the full staking experience, StarGate 2.0 is fully integrated with #Hayabusaand unleashes a new era of tokenomics / rewards for VeChain and $VET.

Hayabusa begins multi-stage VeChainThor upgrade
The Hayabusa upgrade is the beginning of a multi-stage process to improve interoperability, security, tokenomics and developer tools in the VeChainThor system. Validators have begun connecting Hayabusa to the mainnet as part of a seven-day transition period.
During the transition, delegator NFTs will become the central element for collecting rewards. Users must mint and delegate them via the VeWorld wallet before the first full cycle is completed on December 9th.
This mechanism essentially means that VET no longer allows VTHO to be passively produced. Active staking pools also reduce the random generation of unused VTHO and enable more efficient inflation control.
The model emphasizes decentralization and network security; it combines user participation with validator activity. StarGate 2.0 features an improved user interface, new features and early delegations for network synchronization.
Users simply need to stake VET, enter a delegator NFT, select a validator, and wait for the first reward cycle to complete. Once operational, block rewards will be restored and only forwarded to delegated positions.
Hayabusa creates new use cases
The Hayabusa upgrade also brings, among other things, a predictable low-cost fee, an improved reward rate and a guarantee of economic security via DPoS.
The changes are intended to make EVM customization easier for developers, improve programmability, and enable an upcoming JSON RPC integration that will open up access to a wider range of tools.
The upgrade will support applications in logistics, sustainability tracking, tokenization and consumer VeBetter programs. As VeChain prepares for global distribution, the Hayabusa upgrade lays the foundation for more incentives, more decentralization and an improved development environment.
Trend reaches Germany
VeChain’s move follows the growing trend of blockchain adoption in institutions. In July of this year, the state-owned NRW.BANK issued a blockchain bond worth 100 million euros on Polygon.
