There are some big changes taking place with VeChain (VET & VTHO) starting from July 1st 2025. If you own VET you would already know you earn automatically around 43 VTHO daily per 100K VET. From the 1st July that will come to an immediate end as you now need to be actively involved through various staking programs. The era of passively earing VTHO is going to be no longer which kind of sucks.
What this all means is there will be far more VET staked and less VTHO being generated daily which has to be a good thing. For those who do not know VTHO is the gas token which is used to pay for transactions on the VeChain. A percentage was burned and the node operators also took a small percentage which also stops. The VTHO used for the transaction will be 100% burned from July 1st. As you can see this is all about reducing the VTHO generation and looking after those who want to stake their VET. There will be early bird bonuses for those that take up these staking offers.
Under the new Renaissance model there will be o new X Nodes created and only the new Eco odes will have new slots created for those on a first come first serve basis. If you have 1 million VET up to 15 million VET then here is your opportunity. A bit rich for me ad the delegator stake is more in line with my VET holdings. I had been planning on selling these when we see the market peak later this year and I may have to change that way of thinking for now and grow this bag permanently. This starts out from 10K VET up to 200K VET and what I tell you next may swing your mind to the Flash Delegator number being 200K VET. These delegator pools have a cost of buying an X Node badge from the market place and have no clue how cheap or costly these are. The good news is the staking periods are every 14 days and you can pull out or just let it renew each time. The NFT that is created is burned when you pull the stake and if you wanted to restake then you would need to buy a new X node badge and repeat the process .
The new Staking System is called Stargate
How the delegator stake works is actually quite simple and I think even I could manage.
- Purchase an existing x node from the market.
- Generate a delegator NFT when staking the required amount of stake along side you x node badge. Once completed the x node is destroyed.
- You need to select a validator which I gather is the pool where you will be staking under and there are 101 to choose from. The rewards you earn come from the validators earnings so I guess double check the history and choose wisely.
4.Rewards can be claimed at any time and like I mentioned above the staking period is 14 days and it would renew automatically if you were not pulling your stake. The rewards earned will tell you rather quickly if this is viable or not.
This sounds like some fun and if it reduces the supply of VTHO I think this is good news. I think after seeing this I need to purchase some more VTHO besides accumulating another 150K VET in the next 3 months or so. I hate this type of thing as it messes up your plans, but I was planning to boost my VET stake any way later this year.
