**What is the Rewards Multiplier?**
It’s a number attached to your StarGate NFT that boosts how much your staked VET counts when rewards are shared. It turns simple “VET staked” into **effective** stake, which is what StarGate uses to split VTHO among Delegators. 
In formula form: 
Effective stake = VET staked × Rewards Multiplier 
Your effective stake is your contribution to the reward pool. A higher multiplier means your VET counts more when rewards are divided, without changing the core VeChainThor protocol underneath. 
**How does the Rewards Multiplier work?**
Once your StarGate NFT has completed its maturity period and is delegated to an active Validator, it becomes eligible to generate rewards. 
For every block your Validator produces: 
* 30% of rewards are kept by the Validator 
* 70% is shared among all Delegators to that Validator, **proportional to effective stake**
StarGate calculates it step by step: 
* Your contribution = VET staked × Rewards Multiplier 
* Your share = your contribution ÷ total contributions to that Validator 
* Your rewards = your share × 70 percent of that Validator’s block rewards for the period

Each StarGate NFT tier has its own multiplier. 
A simple example: 
* **Dawn Node**
* 10,000 VET staked 
* Multiplier 1.0x 
* Effective stake 10,000 
* **Strength Node**
* 1,000,000 VET staked 
* Multiplier 1.5x 
* Effective stake 1,500,000 
When VTHO is shared, those effective stake numbers are what matter. The Strength Node has more VET and a higher multiplier, so its share of rewards is larger than a Dawn Node with the same Validator. 
**Why does this system exist?**
The Rewards Multiplier is there to make the reward system smarter and more aligned with how people actually commit to the network. 
It helps by: 
* **Rewarding commitment** Higher-tier Nodes with longer maturity and larger stake receive multipliers that increase their share of rewards. 
* **Providing fair weighting** StarGate does not treat all NFTs as identical. It recognizes tier and stake size when rewards are calculated, using a clear, rules-based formula that everyone can understand. 
* **Offering tiered choice** Users can decide how deeply they want to commit. Lower tiers keep entry easy. Higher tiers carry higher multipliers and more influence, at the cost of more VET and time. 
* **Supporting network health** By linking higher multipliers to higher, more stable stake, the system nudges more serious participants to anchor the Validator set, which benefits everyone using VeChainThor. 
If you want a simple mental model, use this: 
* Staking gives you a StarGate NFT. 
* The Rewards Multiplier turns your VET into effective stake and defines your weight in the rewards pool. 
* When your Validator produces blocks, 70 percent of the rewards are shared among Delegators in proportion to their effective stake.

Did anything really work out so far? Is there any company which does *anything* of a little bit of scale using VeChain? Is there an HR company, who uses VET for tokenizing their free bananas in their free employee fruit basket in the office? If yes, please show the world.

I had a good stack of VET back in 2020, had bought most of it around $0.02 watched it pump to almost $0.30 in 2021, kept buying all the way back down, but was convinced it was gonna go to way over $1, ended up selling it off in 2024 when it was obviously just not going to have an impressive bull run.
Ended up breaking even. Would’ve done fantastic if I’d just bought BTC.
I think the only coin I ever made decent money on besides BTC was XRP and ironically it’s only because the lawsuit kept the price suppressed for an entire cycle.
