On September 16, 2026, the VeChainThor blockchain will activate the Interstellar hardfork at block height 25,902,540, upgrading its virtual machine to align with Ethereum's latest improvements. This upgrade, approved by node holders, introduces 11 Ethereum improvement proposals to enhance contract capabilities and network robustness without changing token supply or staking rules. Exchange users should expect temporary deposit and withdrawal suspensions, while self-custody holders need no action. Node operators must update to Thor v2.5.0 before activation to maintain network consensus.
