Vechain’s Stargate Staking program, launched on July 1, featured a massive upgrade to native staking in the Vechainthor blockchain, backed by a $15 million bonus pool over six months, and arrived as an ETFS Eye Sey staking opportunity following recent SEC guidance.
Vechain, the world’s leading blockchain foundation, today announced the launch of its Stargate Staking program. The launch comes after groundbreaking guidance from the SEC that made it clear that protocol staking activities do not constitute a securities offering, with the industry hoping to approve the ETF by the second half of 2025, placing VeChain ahead of the facility’s staking wave.
The launch of Stargate is a major milestone in Vechain Renaissance’s technical roadmap, staking the VeChainthor blockchain, embracing an increase in NFT technology and improved staking leverage leverage of protocols.
Vechain Renaissance represents the most important protocol upgrade in Vechain history, introducing key features such as improved toconomies, new staking models and JSON RPC, with the goal of increasing economic appeal and ease of construction in Vechainthor. The new weighted, delegated, delegated equity consensus mechanism allows veterinarian holders with just 10,000 veterinarians to participate in staking, increase network security, earn rewards, and mark a fundamental shift towards broader accessibility and network decentralization.
“The SEC’s recent guidance examines what we’ve been building: a fully compliant, accessible staking model that treats compensation as network services rather than return on investment,” says Sunny Lu, CEO and Founder of Vechain. “The innovative approach of leveraging NFTs to represent participation ensures both user simplicity and full regulatory integrity.”
With leading ETF issuers actively seeking staking integration of their products and banks are allowed to verify Ethereum transactions, Vechain’s NFT-based model offers a unique solution that combines regulatory compliance to institutions increasingly fascinated by the Crypto industry.
To catalyze the widespread adoption of the new staking model, the Vechain Foundation committed 5.48 billion VTHO tokens (worth around $15 million) and provided a six-month bonus boost to the rewards program. The initiative offers a significantly enhanced annual yield (APY) for early participants migrating existing nodes to bet on veterinary tokens, and once the six-month bonus window is over, the node continues to generate higher APY than its current iteration.
An approved staking tier includes nodes with veterinary staking requirements such as:
Dawntier: 10,000 Veterinary Minimum Lightning Tier: 50,000 Veterinary Flash Tier: 200,000 Veterinary Additional Tier: 15.6 million Veterinary Additional Tier
“As regulatory clarity emerges globally, we are leading the next wave of compliant and accessible blockchain participation,” Lu added. “A generous reward pool ensures early adopters’ benefits while contributing to network decentralization.”
To participate in Stargate Staking and earn enhanced rewards, you will need to move from exchange Vet to Vechain’s official wallet, Veworld, etc. to your independent wallet. Only independent tokens are eligible to receive the staking NFTs needed for activation. Veterinary holders can use the VeChainStats VTHO STAKING APY Estimator or Redeno Staking Simulator to calculate potential rewards and select the best staking layer based on the veterinarian’s holdings.
