VeChain ends automatic VTHO rewards for unstaked VET, requiring staking for new rewards.

VeChainThor's Hayabusa upgrade stopped automatic VeThor (VTHO) rewards for holders who do not stake VeChain (VET). Now, only staked VET earns new VTHO, which is used to pay for transactions and smart contracts on the blockchain. Holders can stake VET through StarGate, receive a staking NFT, and delegate it to validators who produce blocks. This change aims to encourage network participation and makes transaction costs more predictable by separating staking and usage tokens.

VeChain's VET token is currently priced at Rp102 on Pluang, showing a 1.22% decline in the past day. The token's market cap stands at Rp8.83 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp138.02 million. These figures are as of Nov 03, 2026, 20:31 WIB.
