Officially starting a major redesign of its GM NFT system, VeChain has brought in a set of modifications meant to improve fairness, community interaction, and the value allocation inside the ecosystem. This change comes after the generally supported “Restoring the GM NFT System” proposal was adopted with successful ratification. Now fully in effect, the revisions bring GM NFT holders and B3TR donors into a new age.
Cut in half upgrade fees, early supporters credited
The 50% cut in GM NFT upgrade costs is among the most quick and noticeable changes. Thanks to much reduced prices, tier progression is now more within reach for every user. This action not only reduces the entrance hurdle for fresh members but also benefits early supporters of the community.
Previously B3TR investors in GM NFTs Web3 upgrades before the revision have already been reimbursed for the difference. Direct application of these money to their future tier progressions provides a smooth and equitable change into the new system.
Changing the emission allocation adding the GM Rewards Pool
The weekly emissions structure undergoes still another significant shift. Twenty percent of B3TR contributions went to the Treasury historically. Under the new approach, just 15% goes to the Treasury; the remaining 5% powers a newly formed GM Rewards Pool.
Active voters with GM NFTs of tier Moon or higher only access this new rewards pool. This structural shift captures VeChain’s shift from passive ownership to active involvement, therefore guaranteeing that those helping with governance get rewards.
Vote 2 Earn Tied Directly to VOT3 Token Balances
Additionally fundamentally changed is the Vote2 Earn method. GM NFTs no longer offer Vote2Earn reward multiplies. Rather, rewards now directly relate to VOT3 token ownership and the total number of proposals voted on during every cycle. This gives voting action and government involvement top importance over simple ownership of NFTs.
This change improves the integrity of the rewards system by better matching it with real community participation and platform involvement.
Node Holders Must Remain Active to Get Benefits
Node holders have long appreciated benefits including free GM NFT upgrades. Although that advantage still exists, the criteria for award eligibility have altered. Token holding by itself does not qualify users for ecosystem incentives unless they additionally cast every cycle a vote.
This change captures VeChain’s focus on rewarding behavior above status. To profit from the GM Rewards Pool, even strong nodes now actively engage in governance.
Back-compatible Updates Valuate Early Contributions
Every modification has been retroactive implemented to maintain consistency and fairness. This guarantees not penalizing early B3TR funders and long-term supporters. New regulations have been reflected in historical contribution records, and the revamped system has realigned all reward criteria.
VeChain preserves openness and trust by doing this, appreciating the contributions of early players and advancing with a more dynamic and participative architecture.
Lockthrough December Tier Expansion Schedule
An ambitious GM NFT tier expansion schedule included in the system update also presents fresh chances for users to ascend the rankings. Higher B3TR donation requirements and, occasionally exclusive availability for node holders accompany these additional tiers.
Jupiter is free for Mjolnir and ThunderX node holders and is scheduled to release in May requiring 125,000 B3TR.
Following in June and demanding 250,000 B3TR, Saturn is only accessible to MjolnirX node holders.
Arriving in August, Uranus will want 1,250,000 B3TR and no free upgrades.
October is Neptune’s scheduled month; with a 2,500,000 B3TR need,
The most elite tier, Galaxy opens in December and calls for a 12,500,000 B3TR contribution.
For top node holders especially, these last three tiers—Uranus, Neptune, and Galaxy—do not provide free upgrades. This approach supports VeChain’s path toward a merit-based, contribution-oriented incentive system.
A Future More Engaged for the VeChain Community
This redesign of the GM NFT marketrepresents a clear turning point in giving community involvement top priority and guaranteeing fair reward distribution. VeChain is matching user incentives with platform goals by lowering upgrade prices, linking rewards to actual governance engagement, and building clear paths for advancement.
Today more than ever, generating value in the VeChain ecosystem depends on active participation. Whether you are new to the platform or an early adopter, there are obvious chances for involvement, income generation, and growth.
