VeChain StarGate Staking Launch

StarGate, part of VeChain’s Hayabusa phase, lets anyone with sufficient $VET create a node, secure the VeChainThor network, and earn $VTHO rewards. With a boosted 5.3B $VTHO pool (worth ~$15M), new tiers like Dawn (10K VET, 5 VTHO daily) and Lightning (50K VET, 28 VTHO daily) make staking accessible to all. Early adopters get bonus rewards, incentivizing participation from day one. This aligns with VeChain’s X-2-Earn philosophy, rewarding verifiable actions while enhancing regulatory compliance for mass adoption [VeChain Official X, 2025-04-24].
