VeChain unveils an upgraded VeBetter Grants Program to support sustainable blockchain projects, offering new funding tracks and community involvement.
VeChain has announced the launch of its enhanced VeBetter Grants Program, a strategic initiative aimed at accelerating sustainable blockchain innovations. The program invites global developers to join forces in creating impactful blockchain solutions, according to VeChain Official on Medium.
Program Objectives and Community Engagement
The revamped VeBetter Grants Program is designed to nurture the growth of the VeBetter ecosystem by transforming developer visions into tangible real-world impacts. A noteworthy feature of the program is its community-driven approach, allowing the VeFam community to vote on which applications deserve funding, thereby ensuring that the selected projects align with collective priorities and user needs.
New Grant Tracks and Funding Opportunities
The program introduces two distinct funding tracks: the X-to-Earn Grant and the Ecosystem Infrastructure Grant. The X-to-Earn Grant focuses on sustainability-driven dApps with measurable impacts, offering up to $30,000 in B3TR tokens for projects with a working demo or prototype. The Ecosystem Infrastructure Grant targets protocol developers and tool builders, with funding up to $50,000 in B3TR tokens for initiatives that support the VeBetter ecosystem.
These grants aim to reward sustainable actions and bolster the ecosystem by enhancing tools and creating a robust development environment. Successful projects like Mugshot, which has achieved significant milestones in user engagement and carbon footprint reduction, exemplify the program’s potential impact.
Application Process and Evaluation Criteria
Applicants are encouraged to submit their proposals via the VeBetter Grants webpage, where they undergo a multi-stage review process. This includes initial reviews, follow-up discussions, and community voting. The program prioritizes projects that align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and those that enhance infrastructure, tooling, or scalability.
VeChain evaluates applications based on technical feasibility, ecosystem value, innovation, team expertise, and long-term sustainability. The goal is to support projects that are well-conceived and capable of making lasting contributions.
Milestones and Future Prospects
Grant recipients retain full ownership of their projects while benefiting from milestone-based funding, technical guidance, and marketing support. Key milestones include successful integration within the VeBetter ecosystem, measurable user growth, and the development of monetization features to ensure project sustainability.
The VeBetter Grants Program represents a significant step toward fostering a blockchain-powered future where sustainable actions are incentivized and rewarded. Developers and innovators are invited to contribute to this community-led movement, transforming individual efforts into a global impact.
