Per the press release, the network completed the upgrade at block 13815000 on November 17 by 8:10 GMT. The new update brings improved finality and security, VeChain Foundation said. Notably, the blockchain firm asserts that PoA2.0 will allow the network to operate globally while protecting user data and meeting real-world demands.

With the latest VeChainThor upgrade, the foundation asserts that its engineering team has combined Nakamoto and Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) without any associated weaknesses. The weakness in question is a trade-off between scalability and finality.
