It might be a slow day for the crypto-market, but one blockchain community is gearing up for a major upgrade. One that has been in the works for some time now.
Not chained to the past
Several exchanges have announced that they will be supporting the VeChain [VET] network upgrade and hard fork. This is due to take place today, on 16 November, at around 8:00 UTC or a block height of 10,653,500.
The upgrade is part of VeChainThor v1.6.0, which activated POA2.0 Phase 1 on the blockchain’s testnet on 5 November. Meanwhile, 16 November will also see the mainnet’s activation, which is the reason why the community is excited.

VeChain has made it clear that it intends to be both scalable and eco-friendly. To achieve this, the blockchain has also partnered with several companii globale.
Call in the committee
Back in October, the VeChain Foundation revendicat that the POA2.0 upgrade would “make VeChain the strongest public blockchain.”
The protocol will reportedly combina the Byzantine Fault Tolerance and the Nakamoto blockchain consensus mechanisms. From there, the “committee” feature means that three block producers will be randomly picked to verify the block. In this way, corruption and grinding attacks should become impossible.
After this first phase, what would future upgrades bring? The VeChain Foundation introduced ‘Finality’ și raportate,
FINALITY: POA2.0 will guarantee that data is ‘finalised’ immediately and ensures no accidental forks of the network can occur – sometimes, ‘branching’ can lead to a temporary disruption of a blockchain with a very small amount of data potentially being lost […]”
Some exchanges supporting the network upgrade include Binance, Binance.US, și Crypto.com. It’s also worth noting that VET and other token holders will not have to take any actiuni specifice.
With the PoA2.0 launch in just 3 days, we want to re-assure everyone that no actions are required for all holders of $ VET or any other token on the VeChainThor blockchain.https://t.co/Mb85xjXFkv

At press time, VET was ranked 23rd by market cap on Titlul pieței monedei. Furthermore, the altcoin was comercial at $0.1531. Though VET has been rallying since late October, the altcoin was affected by recent market trends. In fact, its price dropped by 9.02% în 24 de ore.
Even so, investors hope that the mainnet upgrade will declanșează un miting – and bring more eyes to the project.
Stamp of approval
It’s not just VET investors who trust the blockchain. According to the VeChain Foundation, the China Association for Standardization certificate its technology as well. The Foundation also revendicat that this is a sign of VeChain becoming the “industry standard.”
#VeChain a primit un certificat de la Asociația Chinei pentru Standardizare, un organism aflat în subordinea Consiliului de Stat, pentru contribuțiile noastre majore la Standardul T/CAS 493-2021 pentru echipamentele electrice de uz casnic.
