VeChain has reached a pivotal milestone with the activation of its Hayabusa upgrade on the mainnet, a move that promises to enhance its blockchain capabilities significantly. The report highlights positive developments indicating that this upgrade, which went live on December 2, 2025, is the result of extensive planning and community involvement.
Transition Phase of the Hayabusa Upgrade
The Hayabusa upgrade initiates a seven-day transition phase, during which validators are required to update their nodes and complete the first rewards cycle. This careful rollout follows months of preparation by VeChain's core team, ensuring a smooth transition for all users.
Community Governance and Support
A key aspect of this upgrade is the unanimous vote from stakeholders in August 2025, reflecting strong community governance and support. With the new staking mechanisms introduced, users can start earning rewards, further incentivizing participation in the network.
Future Developments and Commitment
Moreover, the Hayabusa upgrade lays the groundwork for future developments outlined in VeChain's Renaissance roadmap, signaling a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation within the ecosystem.
