VeChain Hayabusa – democratization of validation and new tokenomics

Hayabusa introduces full DPoS and MiSA compliance

The VeChain network has officially launched the long-awaited Hayabusa update on the mainnet, marking the transition to a fully delegated staking (DPoS) system and a rewrite of the economics of the project. This update marks the second stage of VeChain Renaissance’s ambitious technical roadmap.​

From centralized validation to democratic consensus

The main change in Hayabusa is the revolutionary transformation of the network consensus mechanism. Prior to this update, validation was only performed by an approved group of authorized participants. Now every VET token holder can actively participate in the security of the network in two ways: either by running their own validator node, or by delegating their tokens to a trusted validator.​

This transition radically increases the level of decentralization and strengthens the integrity of the network, distributing control among the wider community.

Technical improvements and developer experience

In addition to revolutionizing the consensus, Hayabusa brings significant technical improvements:​

• The new Staker contract simplifies the processes of connecting validators, delegation and exit

• Block finality has become faster, which reduces transaction confirmation time

• Reduced gas fees for users and application developers

• Increased efficiency of data storage on the network

• Updated developer API for more convenient creation of decentralized applications

Developers benefit from more informative error messages, full testnet reflection, and advanced administration tools.​

Integration with European regulation MiCA

VeChain has achieved compliance with the European regulatory framework Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), adopted by the European Union. This integration provides:​

• Comprehensive guides to validator participation

• Clear definitions of the token and the rights of its owners

• Framework for institutional adaptation in all 27 EU Member States

This regulatory compliance opens the door to attracting regulated investors who have previously refrained from investing in crypto projects.

News highlights

• VeChain Hayabusa transitions the network to a full delegated staking system (DPoS)
