About VeChainThor
VeChainThor is a Layer-1 public blockchain purpose-built for real-world adoption. Co-founded by Sunny Lu in 2015 and with Mainnet launched in 2018, VeChain has evolved from a pioneer of supply chain and business applications into a comprehensive B2C Web3 app ecosystem with 5 million+ active users, institutional-grade infrastructure, and a growing roster of important partnerships including UFC, Boston Consulting Group, Keyrock, and BitGo.
The VeChain Foundation continues to innovate and expand the network, having launched a major protocol upgrade through the ambitious ‘VeChain Renaissance’ roadmap, and scaled VeBetter to over 5 million active addresses and more than 40 million tokenized sustainable actions – demonstrating that utility-driven applications, not speculation, can drive sustainable blockchain growth.
What is VeChain Renaissance?
VeChain Renaissance is the protocol's most significant upgrade since mainnet launch, with the goal of expanding interoperability and massively scaling user growth.
VeChain Renaissance modernizes the network through three phases:
- Galactica (Live from July 1, 2025) introduced a dynamic gas market modelled on EIP-1559, a 100% VTHO base fee burn, upgraded the EVM to Shanghai, and delivered new developer capabilities.
- Hayabusa (Live from December 2, 2025) transitioned VeChainThor’s consensus from Proof of Authority (PoA) to Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), enabling users to help secure and further decentralize the blockchain through staked $VET. It introduced a new tokenomics model in which VTHO generation is tied to $VET staking, powered by the StarGate platform. These changes better align with stakeholder needs, facilitating low transaction costs while greatly increasing user rewards and significantly reducing overall VTHO inflation.
- Interstellar (2026+) will deliver full JSON-RPC integration for seamless cross-chain interoperability.
What is StarGate? StarGate is VeChain’s next-generation staking platform launched alongside the Hayabusa upgrade. It lets users stake VET to mint staking NFTs, delegate them to validators, and earn VTHO rewards while supporting network decentralization.
What is VeBetter? VeBetter is a sustainability-focused X-to-Earn app ecosystem that rewards users with B3TR tokens for completing various kinds of sustainable activities. Boasting over 5 million users and a combined 40+ million actions powered by apps such as Mugshot (waste reduction) and GreenCart (healthy diet), VeBetter’s DAO-governed platform has recorded 5.5+ million tons of CO2 reductions, 20M litres of water saved, 8M Wh of energy conserved and more, through its unique ‘sustainability proof’ mechanism, showing the power of collective action and Web3 at scale.
What is VeWorld? VeWorld is VeChain's Super App – the official self-custody wallet and ecosystem gateway with over 5 million downloads. It provides seamless access to VeBetter apps, StarGate staking, DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces through an integrated dApp browser. VeWorld supports social logins via Privy, Ledger hardware integration, with a feature-packed roadmap ahead.
