[VeBetter](https://vebetter.com/) is VeChain’s sustainability-focused real‑world utility layer: a growing network of purpose‑led apps where everyday positive behaviors are tokenized, verified on‑chain and rewarded. B3TR tokens serve as the incentive layer, while VOT3 powers community decisions about where incentives flow next, creating a virtuous loop of impact powered by tokens and Web3 technologies.
It’s already operating at meaningful scale: 48M+ verified actions, 5.2M+ wallets, and 50+ live applications, with reported ecosystem outcomes such as 412,000 kg plastic waste reduced, 9MWh energy saved, and 11M liters of water conserved show the potential of blockchain to bring about radical societal benefits.
Below, we’ve prepared a complete, step‑by‑step onboarding guide for new users and a practical tutorial for creators/partners building an x2earn app inside VeBetter, so that you can seamlessly join the revolution.

# 1) TL;DR: What is VeBetter
[VeBetter](https://vebetter.com/) is a marketplace of sustainability apps with real world utility, governed by a community-led DAO. You complete verifiable real‑world actions (e.g., reuse, low‑carbon habits, cleanup, mobility), and apps reward your activities with B3TR tokens.
The ecosystem relies on an incentivized weekly governance process, powered by VOT3 tokens, to allocate funding to apps from the [X‑Allocation Pool](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vebetter/x2earn-allocations), part of the token emission model, creating a flywheel effect:
* Users do Better actions → earn B3TR
* Users convert B3TR → VOT3 (1:1)
* VOT3 holders vote weekly to allocate incentives to apps they believe deserve support, while also earning rewards for their participation
* Apps receive B3TR allocations and distribute rewards to users for actions
This structure rewards actions and lets the community continuously steer incentives toward the apps creating the most credible, scalable impact.
Allocation rounds run in weekly cycles; apps receive B3TR based on community support; the community is incentivized to take part in governance, with any unallocated funds routed to the DAO Treasury.
# VeBetter – Ways to Play as a User
From the [VeBetter website](https://veworld.com/), you can browse apps and see what’s [trending](https://vebetter.com/apps) based on the latest allocation round.
From the governance portal, you can:
* Swap B3TR <> VOT3 (1:1)
* Vote in weekly allocations
* Vote on governance proposals
* Earn voter rewards
# 2) Tokens 101: $B3TR & $VOT3
[](https://x.com/vechainofficial/article/2019813404567847128/media/2019807454876278786)
# $B3TR: The Incentive Layer
B3TR is VeBetter’s [incentive token](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vebetter/b3tr-and-vot3-tokens), used primarily as the reward layer across the app ecosystem. It has a 1,000,000,000 (1B) cap.
B3TR is emitted weekly through [VeBetter’s emissions system](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vebetter/b3tr-emissions) over 12 years, or 634 weeks.
Those emissions flow into various pools, including:
* X‑Allocation Pool (funding x2earn apps)
* Vote2Earn Pool (rewarding governance participation)
* Treasury
* GM Rewards Pool
# VOT3: The Governance Token
VOT3 is [V](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vebetter/b3tr-and-vot3-tokens)[eBetter’s governance token](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vebetter/b3tr-and-vot3-tokens), required to vote in allocation rounds and governance proposals.
B3TR and VOT3 are convertible 1:1, but with an important restriction:
* You can convert B3TR → VOT3 anytime (1:1)
* You can convert VOT3 → B3TR only up to the amount of VOT3 you originally converted yourself
* VOT3 sent to you by other wallets cannot be converted back to B3TR
**Example:**
* You convert 100 B3TR → 100 VOT3
* A friend sends you 50 VOT3
* You can convert back up to 100 VOT3 (the amount you self‑converted), but not the additional 50 VOT3 you received
**Supply & emissions**
The ecosystem emits $B3TR tokens weekly.
[The VeBetter docs](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vebetter/b3tr-emissions) outline how emissions are routed and how the various reward pools adjust over time.
**High‑level pool overview**
* X‑Allocation Pool: funds apps weekly so they can reward users (this is the “app funding engine”)
* Vote2Earn Pool: incentivizes repeat voting activity
* GM Rewards Pool: 5% of weekly emissions allocated to eligible Galaxy Member NFT holders who vote
* Treasury: receives emissions + any unallocated allocation‑round funds; redistribution is governed by the community/DAO
# 3) Do an action → earn B3TR → participate
[](https://x.com/vechainofficial/article/2019813404567847128/media/2019807952719192066)
# Step A - Set up VeWorld (your VeBetter wallet)
VeBetter is designed to be used with [VeWorld](https://veworld.com/), VeChain’s official self‑custody wallet. VeWorld is built and maintained by the VeChain Foundation and positioned as a gateway into VeChain + VeBetter apps.
Best practice security checklist for getting started:
* Use only official sites/domains from official sources
* Never share your seed phrase
* Treat “support DMs” as scams unless you initiated the request in official support channels
# Step B - Pick an app and complete your first Better action
Go to the [VeBetter Apps marketplace](https://vebetter.com/apps) and choose a participating x2earn app. The apps page is designed for discovery and shows trending apps based on the latest allocation round.
When you complete an eligible action inside an app, you earn B3TR tokens as a reward.
**What gets recorded and how its verified**
When an app rewards you, it submits proof + impact data on‑chain in the form of ‘Sustainability Proofs’, which are also reviewed by AI. The [developer docs](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/sustainability-proof-and-impacts) show a standard proof format and emphasize that this proof is emitted as an on‑chain event.
A simplified example structure looks like:
* Proof (e.g., link, image)
* Impact (e.g., carbon, water)
* Optional descriptions
What results is a tokenized record of your sustainable impact, monetizing your action, and recording those cumulative efforts on the VeChainThor blockchain.
# Step C - Convert a small amount of B3TR → VOT3 (1:1)
Governance voting power is determined by VOT3, which you can obtain by swapping from B3TR at a 1:1 ratio.
**Practical guidance:**
Start small. Convert a small amount of B3TR so you can participate, learn the flow, and keep B3TR available for app activity and (if you choose) GM NFT upgrades later.
# Step D - Vote in weekly allocation rounds to support apps you believe in
Allocation rounds:
* Run in weekly cycles
* Use VOT3 for voting
* Require voter eligibility checks (covered in VePassport section below)
* Let you vote once per round, but you can allocate across multiple apps in a single vote (split voting)
**Key mechanics to understand:**
* Snapshot at the start of the round: your VOT3 holdings and eligible Better actions are snapshotted; anything acquired after that snapshot won’t count for that round.
* Quorum: the docs state the allocation round currently succeeds when quorum reaches 1% of total VOT3 supply; if quorum isn’t met, distribution uses the last valid round’s percentages.
* Distribution model: allocations are 100% based on vote share, with caps to prevent one project from dominating.
# Step E - Vote on governance proposals & shape the rules
Governance proposals affect parameters like deposits, thresholds, and system design.
Per governance rules:
* Anyone holding VOT3 can participate (minimum requirement: at least 1 VOT3)
* To submit a proposal, the proposer must create a Discourse thread and be a Moon GM NFT holder
* Deposits are counted as voting power for XApp votes with a deposit threshold capped at 5M VOT3
# Step F - Claim voter rewards
As an X2Earn ecosystem, VeBetter rewards user actions across the platform:
* You earn by casting a valid vote in a governance or allocation round during the cycle
* You earn rewards from the GM Rewards Pool (for GM NFT holders who vote) - totalling 5% of weekly B3TR emissions
# Optional pro tip: Automate weekly voting + reward claiming
VeBetter offers an automation feature that can auto‑vote and auto‑claim via a relayer:
* Fee: 10% of weekly claimed rewards, capped at 100 B3TR
* Requirements at snapshot: hold ≥1 VOT3, complete 3 sustainable actions, not flagged as a bot, select eligible apps
* To enable, go to the allocations page and toggle “Auto‑voting & claim” on
**OR**
* Use the [vedelegate](https://vedelegate.vet/) service to achieve the same outcome (VeDelegate is built by a third-party developer).
# 4) Sybil‑resistance Through VePassport
[](https://x.com/vechainofficial/article/2019813404567847128/media/2019809765505769474)
VeBetter governance only works if it’s defended against bots and mass fake accounts. That’s what VePassport is designed to do.
**What is VePassport?**
[VePassport](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vepassport/vepassport) is a system that helps apps determine whether a wallet is likely a bot or a real person. VeBetter uses it during voting to verify wallet authenticity.
VePassport includes multiple modules, including:
* Proof of Participation
* Proof of Investment (integrated conceptually via GM NFT )
* Whitelisting/Blacklisting + Bot signaling (done by apps)
**Proof of Participation - Rules to Remember**
To be considered a “person” in the eyes of VeBetter, users need to complete a minimum of 3 Better actions within a 12‑week period.
The docs clarify:
* [An action](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vepassport/vepassport) is defined as receiving a reward from an app (e.g., rewarded for using a reusable cup)
* Your passport accumulates points based on the security level of apps you interact with (low/medium/high mapped to point values)
Allocation voting rules also reflect this eligibility requirement: users must prove they completed 3 Better actions within the last 12 rounds, with actions subject to decay over time.
**Account linking**
VePassport supports linking multiple wallet addresses (“entities”) under a single passport:
* Up to 5 entities per passport
* After linking, only the passport address retains the right to vote
* Interactions/scores can be aggregated to reflect combined activity
This is especially useful if you use:
* A primary daily wallet + a hardware wallet
* Multiple VeChain addresses for different app contexts
# 5) For creators & partners
[](https://x.com/vechainofficial/article/2019813404567847128/media/2019810531868024840)
If you want to build in VeBetter, think of it as a weekly funding engine + transparent reward rails + governance distribution.
# 5.1 How to get your x2earn app listed
**Step 1 - Meet the basic build requirements**
Your x2earn app needs to:
* Distribute B3TR on VeChainThor
* [Submit a proof (JSON format)](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/get-started) for the sustainable action a user was rewarded for
**Step 2 - Use the official test environment**
VeBetter provides two testing options:
* VeChain testnet environment (recommended for most teams)
* [a local “solo node” environment](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/test-environment)
In testnet:
* Create a new app in the staging portal
* Request endorsement (test flow)
* Start [new rounds and claim allocations](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/test-environment) in admin (test rounds can require multiple iterations before you see allocations)
To obtain [B3TR on testnet](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/testnet-b3tr-tokens), you trigger allocation rounds (testnet rounds are short, and production rounds start automatically and last a week).
**Step 3 - Implement reward distribution correctly**
To improve transparency, [VeBetter requires apps](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/reward-distribution) to use a centralized reward distributor contract for B3TR reward transfers tied to sustainable actions (referencing the “dApp Tracker” proposal context).
**Step 4 - Include proof + impact data**
When distributing rewards via the X2EarnRewardsPool, you provide:
* proofTypes + proofValues arrays (e.g., link, image)
* impactCodes + impactValues arrays (e.g., water, timber, carbon)
Apps can also enrich distributions using Reward Metadata, which is emitted via the RewardMetadata event for off‑chain indexing/analysis.
A [suggested JSON structure](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/reward-metadata) includes location fields (city/country/region) and campaign fields-while noting privacy policy implications.
**Step 5 - Follow the Rulebook - don’t get disqualified**
The Rulebook prohibits behaviors that game the incentive layer, including:
* Direct “double dipping” (rewarding actions already rewarded by protocol‑level incentives)
* Recursive rewarding / incentive layering
* Fragmenting one product into multiple apps to multiply allocations
* Social amplification loops that proxy already‑incentivized actions
**Step 6 - Harden your app against farming**
VeBetter [security considerations](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/security-considerations) outline common farming approaches:
* Single person / single wallet repeat claims
* Single person / multiple wallets
* Bots/scripts, including attempts to defeat AI image validation
If you use image‑based verification, the [AI Image Validation guide](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/ai-image-validation) suggests adding checks for:
* Poor quality
* Doctored/unrealistic modifications
* Photos of screens
* Watermarks
* Hand‑drawn overlays
# 5.2 Submission & approval: Creator NFTs + Endorsements
VeBetter uses a [community‑based endorsement mechanism](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/submit-your-app) where VeChain node holders (“endorsers”) influence which XApps are admitted to the ecosystem through a points system.
**Step‑by‑step listing process**
1. Acquire a Creator NFT
2. Fill out a form on the VeBetter platform → background check → if approved, you’re minted a Creator NFT
3. Alternatively, apply via the [VeChain Grants program](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/submit-your-app) ; successful teams receive funding + Creator NFT
4. Submit the app on‑chain
5. After receiving the Creator NFT, [submit your XApp on‑chain](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/submit-your-app) for endorsement consideration
6. Connect with endorsers
7. Creators gain access to a creator Discord community to [connect with potential endorsers](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/submit-your-app)
8. Reach the endorsement threshold
9. Apps must accumulate an [endorsement score of 100](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/submit-your-app) to become eligible for allocation rounds
**Node endorsement scores**
The [X2Earn Apps doc](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/vebetter/x2earn-apps) lists endorsement scores by node level, including:
* Strength (2), Thunder (13), Mjolnir (50)
* VeThorX (3), StrengthX (9), ThunderX (35), MjolnirX (100)
**On‑chain submission requirements**
When submitting your app, [you need to provide](https://docs.vebetterdao.org/developer-guides/submit-your-app):
* Treasury address: where B3TR can be withdrawn for operations like marketing/team/etc.
* Admin address: super‑permissions: update app details, change treasury, transfer ownership
**Creator NFT rules**
Creator NFTs are:
* Non‑transferable ERC721 tokens
* Minted only by the X2Earn App Review Panel
* Limited to one Creator NFT per user at a time
* App admin can add up to two additional creators (max three creators per application)
There are also blacklisting/burn mechanics tied to compliance to help safeguard other applications, and the ecosystem at large.
