Launch Date: July 1, 2025 – just 7 days away!
The long‑anticipated VeChain Renaissance journey is entering its most exciting phase. Here's everything you need to know—from staking readiness to price impact—so you’re fully prepared.
Check out the official announcement here:
1. What is the VeChain Renaissance?
The Renaissance is a three‑phase protocol and tokenomics overhaul:
- Phase 1 – Galactica: Mainnet upgrade with dynamic gas fee model (like EIP‑1559), burning base fees to curb inflation and improve fee predictability.
- Phase 2 – Hayabusa: Activates the new StarGate staking model—unlocking NFT‑based staking tiers, enhancing decentralization, and rewarding node holders.
- Phase 3 – Intergalactic: Prepares ecosystem for cross‑chain and global expansion.
2. StarGate Staking—How You Earn VTHO Now
With StarGate, earning VTHO shifts from passive to active staking. Check out these highlights from Crypto News Flash:
- Early‑Bird Tier Bonuses: X‑Nodes (Strength, Thunder, Mjolnir) earn multipliers from 2× to 5× depending on node size.
- VeChain Foundation allocated 5.48 billion VTHO (~US $14 million) for launch incentives.
- All transaction fees will now be 100% burned—enhancing deflationary pressure and benefiting VET holders.
3. How to Prepare & Stake Your VET
- Hold VET in a supported wallet: Wallets like VeWorld or Exodus automatically generate VTHO (~4.32 VTHO per 10k VET/day).
- Upgrade X‑Nodes before July 1st: Final chance to trigger upgrade for bonus multipliers.
- Use StarGate simulator: VeChain’s community tools help calculate your expected VTHO yield.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to lock my VET?
No. Holding VET in supported wallets is sufficient—no minimum required.
Is staking automatic?
Yes. Genesis VTHO generation is automatic; StarGate-staked nodes require a one-time setup, after which NFTs and rewards flow automatically.
Can I unstake anytime?
VeChain staking is non‑custodial; you can sell or move your VET anytime (just ensure enough VTHO remains to pay fees).
How much yield can I earn?
Base passive VTHO yield is ~1.2% to 1.4% APY per year. StarGate multipliers can boost this significantly—X-Node holders may enjoy 2× to 5× rewards.
5. Will this Move $VET & Related Assets?
Industry opinions suggest altcoins typically move only when BTC and ETH rally. However, with Renaissance, VeChain introduces systemic improvements:
- Deflationary fee burn and staking rewards could increase demand for VET/VTHO.
- Accessibility through lower‑tier Economic Nodes may boost new wallet adoption (recent data shows only ~1.37 M wallets with ≥1 VET).
- Big partnerships (PwC, BMW, BCG) lend credibility, although the market remains macro‑driven.
While a VET price surge depends on broader crypto market trends, Renaissance offers solid fundamental reasons—burn mechanics, staking, and decentralization—that could support a bullish move.
6. What’s Next?
- July 1: Galactica + StarGate activation on mainnet.
- July–Sept: Node NFT staking begins, Early-Bird bonus distribution.
- Sept 2025: Hayabusa features roll in; full protocol upgrade.
- Beyond: Intergalactic phase and cross‑chain readiness.
