VET Holders: What to Do After VeChain’s Hayabusa Upgrade

VeChain is entering a new phase with the Hayabusa upgrade and the launch of Stargate 2.0, marking a major shift in how staking, decentralization, and network participation work. In this episode of the BeInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Jake Compton, Head of Communications and Social Media at VeChain, to break down what the Hayabusa upgrade actually changes and why it matters for everyday users, builders, and institutions. We discuss how VeChain transitioned from Proof of Authority to Delegated Proof of Stake, what “real decentralization” means in practice, and how Stargate 2.0 gives delegators more influence over the network for the first time. Jake also explains how the new staking model works, how users can participate through the vWorld wallet without technical complexity, and what the shift in VTHO tokenomics means for long-term network incentives. The conversation also explores VeChain’s growing institutional validator ecosystem, recent partnerships with major venture capital firms, and how regulatory clarity in the US and EU is shaping the next phase of VeChain’s development.
