VeChain announced the implementation of Hayabusa, the second phase of its 2025 roadmap, after community approval. This upgrade includes significant changes to the protocol structure.
Hayabusa Upgrade: What's New?
With the launch of Hayabusa, VeChain is transitioning from its old Proof of Authority system to a more decentralized Delegated Proof of Stake model. This change allows VET token holders to delegate their tokens to validators, increasing their participation in securing the network.
Changes to VTHO Generation
Hayabusa introduces changes to the way VTHO is generated: it will now be available only to those who stake or delegate their tokens, which will lead to reduced inflation and enhance the sustainability of the system. A portion of the rewards will now be distributed between validators and delegators.
Long-Term Prospects for VeChain
The Hayabusa upgrade is a step towards scalability and long-term sustainability for the project. Researchers and analysts continue to show interest in VeChain, forecasting potential increases in the value of the VET token in the future.
The Hayabusa upgrade marks an essential stage in VeChain's development, offering new opportunities for community engagement and token economics improvement. These changes are expected to be implemented by the end of December 2025.
