VET holders: What to do after VeChain’s Hayabusa update

VeChain has entered a new phase of its multi-year roadmap with the launch of the Hayabusa and Stargate 2.0 updates, a move the network calls its move to “true decentralization.”

Speaking during the BeInCrypto podcast, Jake Campton, Head of Communications and Social Media at VeChain, explained what Hayabusa has changed, why it is important, and what VET holders need to do next to stay compliant with the new reward and staking model.

Hayabusa represents a shift towards true decentralization

Before Hayabusa, VeChain operated on a Proof of Authority (PoA) model, where validators were allowed and required to perform KYC. According to Campton, this structure made sense in the early years of VeChain, when institutional partners demanded known verification and regulatory clarity.

However, the surrounding environment has changed.

With Hayabusa, VeChain has moved to a delegated proof of stake (DPoS) model. The auditors are now publicly available and unauthorized, meaning that anyone with the required warranty and hardware can apply to participate.

“Hayabusa is the first time commissioners have really had an impact on network security,” Campton said. “The network has transitioned from an authorized setting to a public state without permission.”

Auditor requests are handled via Stargate, where applicants can join a rotating waiting list while auditor slots are open.

VeWorld and Stargate: How users participate

For ordinary users, VeChain has simplified sharing through VeWorld, its complete wallet and app ecosystem.

VeWorld allows users to:

• Manage VET and other digital assets
• Access to VeChain and VeBetter dApps
• It was based on VET technology Stargate Without dealing with complex technical steps

“VeWorld is the center of everything in VeChain,” Campton explained. “If you want to participate in Hayabusa and the new stick model, just download VeWorld and you can easily start.”

VTHO inflation decreased as rewards shifted to active investors

One of the most significant changes under Hayabusa is the major upgrade to VeChain tokens.

VeChain reduced VTHO inflation by about 50%, reducing the network’s gas token generation rate. As transaction volume continues to grow, this creates a tighter supply and demand dynamic for VTHO.

At the same time, the rewards are concentrated among the active participants.

Previously, each VET token automatically generated a VTHO. Under the new model, only players who are obsessed with the greatest common receive rewards, and these rewards are distributed among a much smaller group of participants.

“What we did was condense the rewards into a limited number of contract tokens,” Campton said. “For each person, you get a lot more rewards, but only if you actively participate.”

In short: passive detention is no longer enough.

What apprenticeship holders should do now

For VET holders, VeChain’s message is clear:

• VeWorld shipping
• Professional cross training Stargate
• Choose validators carefully, as delegate decisions now have a direct impact on network security and rewards

Hayabusa fundamentally changes the flow of value through the VeChain ecosystem. Those who take action are to benefit from a higher focus on reward and a more sustainable economic model, while those who do not risk exclusion.

As Campton said, Hayabusa is “a huge win for those with professional and professional training,” but only for those willing to actively participate.
