• The VeChain network is staying true to the roadmap laid out by founder Sunny Lu earlier this year, the VeChain renaissance.
• The next leap, known as the Hayabusa phase, is to launch on July 1, bringing with it a staking mechanism called StarGate.

Splendid, a VeChain Ambassador, is one of many community members fired up about what the Hayabusa phase is about to bring. In a detailed post on X, he shared,

VeChain’s StarGate launch is less than one month away—set for July 1, 2025—marking a pivotal shift in $VETtokenomics with the Hayabusa upgrade!

The Ambassador explained how anyone can get a piece of the cake. The staking options start from as 10,000 $VETfor a Dawn Node, all the way up to 15.6 million $VETfor a top-tier Mjolnir X Node. A user could earn up to 35,000 $VTHOper day in rewards. Other node tiers also come with a decent daily reward. The Thunder X and Strength X nodes can earn around 9,800 and 2,250 $VTHO, the mid-range VeThor X nodes (600K $VET) generate around 550 $VTHOdaily.

As we covered earlier, VeChain’s roadmap includes three big phases. Galactica’s testnet went live in March, introducing a Dynamic Fee Market. Hayabusa is up next. A big part of Hayabusa is Stargate, the staking mechanism. This phase promises faster transactions and better cross-chain performance. It will then enhance privacy on Vechain using zero-knowledge proofs, all with the aim of improving the VeChainThor experience.

To get the ball rolling, the VeChain Foundation is injecting a massive 5.48 billion $VTHO(around $14 million) into the ecosystem as staking incentives. “Secure your $VETnow to maximize exclusive bonuses,” Splendid explained in the post. The new tokenomics brings 100% transaction fee burns into effect, aiming to increase the value of $VETwhile driving sustainability and decentralization.

Some community tools like VeChainStats, the APY Estimator, and Redeno_org’s Staking Simulator are already in use. These tools make it easier for users to plan their staking strategy before the big launch. As highlighted in a CNF report, simply enter your $VETholdings and X-Node status to receive a tailored overview of your setup. This will contain an estimated APY and daily $VTHOrewards. VeChainStats also gives a clear picture of your potential earnings based on node tier and total network stake.

What’s Next: The Intergalactic Phase

VeChain Renaissance’s last phase is Intergalactic. This will introduce Cross-Chain Bridges that will connect VeChainThor with over 40 blockchains for seamless, safe asset and data transfers. It will also roll out advanced developer tools to support multi-platform dApp development and boost enterprise integration to help drive more real-world use cases. Splendid then highlighted VeChain’s recent achievement of surpassing 2 million unique wallets completing sustainable actions via the VeBetter apps, a milestone noted by Vineet Singh on May 29, 2025.

He wrapped up with this: “Get ready for a blockchain built for mass adoption—StarGate empowers every $VETholder to shape VeChain’s decentralized future!” At the time of press, VeChain’s native token is trading at $0.02475, with a 24-hour volume of over $41 million. While it’s up 3.96% on the day, it’s seen a 12.07% dipover the past week, although trading volume has climbed by 19.08%.
