VeChain and PoA 2.0: Revolutionizing Blockchain Scalability & Security
VeChain, a global public blockchain solution provider, is revolutionizing the blockchain landscape with its groundbreaking consensus mechanism, Proof of Authority 2.0 (PoA 2.0). The Vechain network is working tirelessly to try and close the gap between blockchain technologies and the real world. PoA 2.0 is designed to guarantee data integrity while also providing high-throughput and scalability capabilities to meet the evolving needs of businesses.
What is VeChain's PoA 2.0?
The much-anticipated POA 2.0 has been launched on VeChain (VET), bringing the network into a new era of sustainability and improved performance. PoA 2.0, also known as SURFACE, represents a significant leap forward in blockchain technology.
The new consensus algorithm PoA 2.0-SURFACE, is characterized as a Secure, Use-case adaptive, and Relatively Fork-free Approach of Chain Extension. In pursuit of our vision to enable global and scalable mass adoption of public blockchain technology, the VeChain Research and Development teams built SURFACE. The new PoA 2.0 consensus will enable the blockchain VeChainThor to leverage a high throughput capability with guaranteed data finality.
PoA 2.0 SURFACE: Secure, Adaptable, Fork-Free
SURFACE basically stands for Secure, Use-case adaptive, Relatively Fork-free. Let's break down what that means:
- Secure: PoA 2.0 enhances the security of the VeChainThor blockchain, making it more resistant to attacks.
- Use-case Adaptive: The algorithm is designed to adapt to various real-world applications and business needs.
- Relatively Fork-Free: PoA 2.0 minimizes the risk of forks, ensuring greater stability and reliability.
VeChainThor and Authority Masternodes
VeChainThor uses a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus; where one of the 101 pre-approved validators (Authority Masternodes) are randomly selected to generate the blocks. This allows for faster transaction speeds and greater energy efficiency.
VeChain's Commitment to Innovation
SAN MARINO, Nov. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - VeChain Foundation, overseer of the world's leading enterprise-grade blockchain, VeChainThor, is proud to announce the successful implementation of PoA 2.0. This milestone underscores VeChain's commitment to innovation and its dedication to providing businesses with a robust and scalable blockchain solution.
