VeChain StarGate Launch

StarGate introduces a new staking model where anyone with 10,000 $VET (Dawn Node) to 15.6M $VET (Mjolnir X Node) can run a node and earn up to 35,000 $VTHO daily. The VeChain Foundation is dropping a massive 5.48B $VTHO (~$14M) reward pool to incentivize early stakers. Paired with 100% transaction fee burns and a 72.2% cut in $VTHO inflation, this aims to boost $VET value and drive mass adoption on VeChainThor (VeChain Official, 2025-05-14).
