Instead of a fixed 25M VET, Validators will be able to stake from a minimum of 25M up to 600M VET, with extra support coming from Delegators. Together, that stake helps decide who gets to secure the next block and keep the network running. 
Staking and earning are becoming more accessible than ever with our most accessible Dawn Node, which you can use to start earning from 10,000 VET. Once you have that, and you’ve chosen a Validator, you’re ready to start earning while helping secure our network.

Can you believe it’s already been six months since the launch of VeChain’s first cross-chain bridge with Wanchain? Huge props to [Wanchain](https://www.wanchain.org/) for making this happen and connecting VeChainThor to the wider blockchain world.
Since July 10, VeChain has been linked to over 40 chains, making it possible to move assets like BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and of course VET and VTHO across networks that were previously isolated. This is a big step for the VeChain ecosystem and opens the door to real DeFi opportunities.
With this bridge in place, liquidity from major networks can now flow into VeChain, while VeChain assets can be used in DeFi across Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and other ecosystems. It is more than just a technical milestone. It acts as a gateway for developers and users to explore new ways of building and using VeChain.
Six months in, the impact is already becoming clear. The infrastructure is live, and now the focus shifts to what the community builds on top of it and how it is used.
What cross chain opportunities are you most excited to see come to VeChain?
