Statement on tokenomics adjustment for interested parties: As part of the Hayabusa Upgrade — phase 2 of VeChain Renaissance — VTHO generation is moving from a fixed schedule to a dynamic model tied to user participation, with issuance becoming a function of total VET staked. Below are the before and after figures:

Before Hayabusa

  • Static generation rate: 5 × 10⁻⁹ VTHO per VET per second

  • Daily per VET guide: ≈ 0.000432 VTHO

  • Network annual issuance: ≈ 13.7B VTHO

After Hayabusa

Issuance is dynamic and depends on total VET staked across the network.

Example outcomes:

  • 2.525B VET staked (2.61% total supply) → ~3.86B VTHO per year (21.87% current VTHO inflation)

  • Up to 60B VET staked (75% total supply) → ~19B VTHO per year (138.6% current VTHO inflation)

What does this mean?

This change rewards active contributors and strengthens decentralization. It also ensures more effective VTHO distribution, with it flowing only to staked VET, while backing Validators and helping secure the chain. The tokenomics adjustements unlock three key benefits:

  1. Fairness: Rewards follow real participation rather than being generated among idle tokens.

  2. Security and resilience: more staking and delegation support a healthier validator set, and increase economic security of the network.

  3. Stakeholder alignment: issuance reflects network use and community commitment, creating a clearer link between value earned and value provided, while ensuring all parties benefit from the network.

In short, the model encourages everyone to play a role in VeChain’s security and long-term growth.

  • Transition timeline

  • Testnet: Successfully transitioned from PoA to DPoS on November 11, 2025.

  • Mainnet: Activation begins on December 2, 2025.

  • The transition period runs from December 2 to December 9, 2025. No VTHO is issued during this initial 7 day rewards cycle. After the transition period, the new dynamic issuance model is fully live.
