VeChain to hold Interstellar hard fork on September 16, 2026

  • The hard fork is scheduled for September 16, 2026, at block 25,902,540
  • VIP-255 introduces selected Ethereum Improvement Proposals for compatibility
  • Node operators must upgrade to Thor v2.5.0 before activation
  • Binance and other exchanges will temporarily suspend VET deposits and withdrawals
Why it matters: The upgrade improves VeChain's compatibility with Ethereum, which could attract developers, but requires timely infrastructure updates.
