VeChain (VET) is experiencing one of the most remarkable years in its history, solidifying itself as one of the most solid projects in the enterprise blockchain sector. With a focus on sustainability, interoperability, and real adoption, VeChain demonstrates that its narrative goes far beyond speculation—it delivers concrete results.
A New Era with the Cross-Chain Bridge
On July 10th, VeChain launched its first cross-chain bridge in partnership with Wanchain, connecting its VeChainThor blockchain to over 40 major networks, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and BNB Chain.
This bridge represents a game-changer for interoperability in the VET ecosystem, enabling non-custodial cross-chain asset transfers and integration with the DeFi world. Native tokens like VET and VTHO can now circulate freely across multiple blockchains, increasing liquidity and attracting developers. Transactions are fee-free for 30 days, encouraging adoption.
Galactica Update and VeChain’s Rebirth
On July 1st, VeChain began its new phase called “Renaissance” with the Galactica update. This technical overhaul brought:
A dynamic fee market, inspired by Ethereum’s EIP-1559;
Full EVM compatibility, making life easier for developers;
A new transaction format and improvements to smart contracts.
These updates strengthen security, efficiency, and integration with other blockchains, paving the way for VeChain’s technical and institutional growth.
NFT Staking: StarGate Launches
Also in July, VeChain launched the StarGate program, a $15 million staking system that uses NFTs as proof of stake. With different reward tiers and a six-month bonus pool, StarGate offers an innovative and accessible way for the community to support the network’s growth. The initiative comes after the SEC declared that protocol staking does not constitute a security, offering a safer regulatory environment.
VeBetterDAO: Innovation with a Sustainable Purpose
The VeBetterDAO ecosystem continues to grow strongly. Its superapps, Mugshot and Greencart, have each surpassed 1 million users, rewarding sustainable practices with B3TR tokens. Furthermore, the launch of Saturn GM NFTs, the seventh tier of the VeBetter system, has brought greater engagement and governance power to the community.
VeChain is clearly focusing on real-world utility, encouraging everyday use of blockchain with an ecological purpose.
Strategic Partnerships and Global Vision
In June, the partnership with Wanchain was officialized, marking a strategic alliance to support over 130 cross-chain assets. VeChain is also an official partner of San Marino at Expo 2025 Osaka, strengthening its institutional presence. To drive enterprise adoption, the team appointed Anthony Day as its new Chief Marketing Officer.
