#VET VeChain Stargate Launch Could Ignite Major Breakout: VeChain (VET) is poised for a significant catalyst with its much-anticipated Stargate upgrade scheduled for July 1, 2025. This milestone introduces two pivotal enhancements designed to elevate the protocol’s utility, decentralization, and economic dynamics.

First, Stargate staking transforms passive VET token holding into an active earning model. Previously, users passively generated VeThor (VTHO); now, active staking is mandatory. This new model features tiered reward multipliers of up to 5×, particularly for X‑Node holders—rising from a 2× boost at 600K VET to a substantial 5× at 15.6M VET. The move both democratizes node participation and fosters deeper engagement in securing the network.

Second, the upgrade introduces protocol-level NFTs tied to staking roles. Delegator NFTs capture 70% of block rewards, while validators receive the remaining 30%—supercharging incentive alignment and visualizing network contributions.

These innovations coincide with VeChain’s expanding ecosystem momentum: key partnerships (including UFC adviser Dana White), Mugshot surpassing one million users, cross-chain integration with Wanchain, a MiCA-compliant license in Europe, and a Visa-like payment rollout via Stella Pay. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe suggests these combined factors could position VET for a breakout, with targeted levels around the previous Fibonacci peak near $0.12.

As passive mechanics shift to an active, stake-driven model—backed by tokenomics enhancements and a vibrant ecosystem—the Stargate launch could mark a pivotal inflection point for VeChain.
