Thank you for the explanation. I likely not risk it for a few percent of return. I'm happy if VET reaches 0.06$ again. If it never does again...well, that'd be very bad.

Sadly it's not a yes or no question.
With stargate your APY finally is in the decent zone and everyone should consider locking it up but there are also drawbacks and exchanges MAY offer better overall APY.

One of the drawbacks is the limited amount of stargate NFT you can mint.
(tl;dr, If you want to stake VET, you have to mint an NFT and pick a validator to earn VTHO. These NFT's are limited and as far as I know all the 15million and 5million VET NFT's are gone. Since the new staking, your NFT also holds the VET. Which means you have to extra careful if you decide to sell it or transfer it to others. What I mean by this, if you were to have a 5million NFT and you sell it for 3mill. You just lost 2million. With the new staking system, your stargate NFT is the proof that you own that VET. Whoever has the proof, got the VET.)
I'm not sure how many NFT left for the big boy tier 1mill+ but a lot of 10k, 50k VET NFT are up for grab.
I assume the idea here was to allow people a lower barrier of entry with staking 10k VET \~$700 currently) which allows them to do pretty much anything, which is useful if you participate in the DAO.
If you type vechain stargate docs, you will find the official documentation which explains everything nicely and then you can use vechainstats VTHO calculator(tools/VET staking) to check if it's worth it for you or not.
For the calculation, all you need to pick is the node tier and then just calculate.

Be very careful. Exchanges shill Alts like they are a good investment with meme buzzwords like DeFi, Web3, RWA, Oracles hyping up bullshit tech and vaporware use cases.
- Alts are a almost a guarantee to massively lose you money long term.
- 99% of cryptos from 8 years ago today are down -90% or worse. Most are delisted.
- A tiny number of small cap Alts outperform BTC long term but your chance of picking the right Alt and putting enough money in it for a big win are like your chances of winning a lottery.
- Once a coin gains large marketcap, it massively underperforms BTC.

Hi, ive been staking my VET on Stargate for quite some time, but now the session is over and i gotta restake or unstake. But when its time to sign for it with the ledger and sync2 app has opened, it never asks to request signing anything. Logging into stargate with ledger og signing works fine.
Ive sent over vet and vethor to that address to stargate, and i see that balance and currently staked vet, but same problem persists. Ledger is updated, ive used different browsers and pc's, same outcome.
Am i missing something? Thank you for input.
(Also im not reading your scammy dm's)

The tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market is projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. The technology to tokenize assets exists, but the trust layer that verifies them is still lacking.
Our upcoming on-chain asset attestation solution, featured in our 2026 roadmap, delivers a module that leverages a cryptographic proofing system to guarantee tokenized assets correspond with something real.
Without trust technology, tokenized RWAs are claims of ownership without verification. With it, they become instruments that institutions can hold, trade, and audit in real time, and with confidence.
VeChain has spent 10 years building verification infrastructure for enterprise, for individuals, and soon, for agent users.
RWA attestation leverages the same core capabilities, expanding $VET's technologies into a multi-trillion dollar asset class.
More details coming soon!

A lack of financial reports doesn't mean a lack of treasury. Yes - the price of VET has impact. It doesn't mean they are bankrupt.
Their activity on all fronts proves the opposite.
