Making Web3 Invisible
As outlined in our Web3 for Better whitepaper, one of VeChain’s core strategic objectives is making blockchain technology functional and accessible to the masses, helping onboard the next billion users to Web3.
Key to that is delivering engaging, rewarding applications that resonate with Web2 users. A critical component of our strategy is abstracting the technical complexity that has traditionally limited adoption of blockchain.
The Stella Pay integration completes VeChain’s user journey transformation.
Frictionless Onboarding: Account abstraction and social logins remove technical barriers to entering the ecosystem by presenting users with a familiar ‘username, password’ set up — with enhanced security and recoverability of accounts.
Incentivized Engagement: B3TR tokens reward sustainable actions through X-2-Earn applications that gamify sustainability challenges. This low barrier to entry, and easy accessibility, makes adoption of the technology more seamless.
Simple Spending: Stella Pay cards let users spend earned $B3TR tokens like a traditional currency, creating a more intuitive way to make use of the rewards generated. For more crypto native users, $VET and $VTHO token integrations expand their usability.
This three-part strategy makes blockchain’s “blockchain-ness” invisible and opens the doors for mainstream users without technical knowledge.
We’re delivering a platform where technology becomes the silent enabler rather than a visible complexity — exactly as it needs to be.
Built on Foundations of Compliance and Security
This integration sees VeChain continue to expand based on our unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance. The recent MiCAR confirmation of the $VET and $VTHO tokens demonstrates a proactive approach that continues to bear fruit.
By embracing Europe’s unified regulatory environment, VeChain offers a stable, trusted foundation necessary for integrations with traditional financial infrastructure. Stella Pay’s secure platform, combined with VeChainThor’s enterprise-grade blockchain technology, ensures users can confidently spend their B3TR tokens with the security and convenience expected from a world leading blockchain platform.
In an industry often plagued by regulatory uncertainty, VeChain continues to lead by example, proving that compliance and innovation can advance hand-in-hand.
From Digital Tokens to Real-World Spending
The VeChain x Stella Pay partnership delivers what many in Web3 have long envisioned — the ability to spend digital assets seamlessly in everyday life. B3TR token holders can now access virtual Visa cards, transforming sustainability rewards earned through VeBetterDAO into spendable currency at millions of retail locations worldwide.
This is the completion of a powerful flywheel that makes blockchain truly accessible to everyone:
Earn B3TR tokens through sustainability actions in VeBetterDAO’s X-2-Earn applications
Hold and grow your digital assets within the ecosystem
Spend B3TR directly via Stella Pay’s Visa card solutions, both online and in-store
The integration removes the final barrier separating blockchain rewards from everyday utility, eliminating complicated exchange processes and multi-step conversions. Your B3TR tokens become as practical and usable as traditional currency, opening an entirely new dimension of utility for the VeBetterDAO ecosystem.
The Road Ahead: Unlocking The Next Billion
With $B3TR and Stella Pay, what was once aspirational is now operational — a Web3 ecosystem where blockchain technology fades into the background while its benefits move to the forefront. Theoretical blockchain benefits have evolved into a practical, everyday utility that anyone can experience without specialized knowledge.
This integration represents a critical milestone in our Renaissance initiative, which is redesigning VeChainThor as the protocol built for mass adoption. By connecting sustainable actions directly to spendable rewards, we’re demonstrating how blockchain can create value for everyday users without requiring them to understand the underlying technology.
The upcoming Hayabusa and Intergalactic phases will build upon this foundation by expanding developer capabilities while maintaining seamless user experiences. This dual focus creates optimal conditions for global adoption — where blockchain’s value is apparent, but its complexity remains invisible.
Ready to Spend?
The B3TR Visa card is now available for all VeBetterDAO users — you can get yours, here!
The sign-up process takes minutes, and within days, you’ll be tapping your card at grocery checkouts, restaurants, and millions of retail locations worldwide.

VeChain Partners With 4ocean to Boost Blockchain-Enabled Sustainability Impact on Land and Sea
The oceans face a plastic crisis of staggering scale — 440 million pounds of plastics entering our waterways every year. This deluge of trash lacks a transparent, accountable means of removal. Furthermore, individuals who commit time and effort to removing it lack an incentive structure that rewards their efforts.
Today, we’re excited to share that we’re kicking off a partnership with 4ocean — an entity whose global cleanup operations have extracted over 40 million pounds of marine debris — and pushing back on an environmental blight, powered by new, more efficient technologies.
At an inaugural event taking place today in Miami, the VeBetter platform, in combination with 4ocean’s proven conservation model, stands to demonstrate how cleanup efforts can evolve through blockchain, tokenization and incentivization.
Marking the Moment in Miami
Kicking off the partnership, 4ocean and VeChain joined forces with the UFC Foundation — the UFC’s philanthropy arm — to launch a high-profile beach cleanup to showcase the Cleanify dApp, powered by the VeBetter ecosystem and VeChain, to a host of high-profile guests.
The partnership will go on to establish a first-of-its-kind sports sustainability program committing to the removal of the equivalent of 14.4 million single-use plastic water bottles in its first year.
The event presents a great opportunity to showcase the potential of blockchain first-hand — demonstrating its ability to:
Track and verify pieces of plastic and trash pulled from oceans, rivers, and coastlines.
Validate environmental impact with immutable blockchain records — or ‘Sustainability Proofs’ — on-chain tokenized records of activities.
Incentivize communities using $B3TR tokens — the VeBetter ecosystem’s incentive layer, rewarding users in exchange for time and effort.
Enhance transparency in cleanup operations with verifiable data, preventing greenwashing.
“This partnership represents a perfect alignment of mission and technology,” said Sunny Lu, CEO and Founder of VeChain. “By combining 4ocean’s inspiring track record in ocean conservation with VeChain’s blockchain capabilities, we’re creating new ways for people to get involved in and verify the impact of some of the world’s most significant environmental cleanup efforts.”
The partnership with 4ocean includes several key initiatives launching throughout 2025:
The removal of 300,000 pounds of plastic and trash from the world’s oceans, rivers, and coastlines through clean up events.
An 11-month sustainability sweepstake program running from February through December 2025 — with various prizes to be won.
Development of exclusive 4ocean x VeChain merchandise to support ocean cleanup efforts.
“When purpose drives action, real change happens,” said Alex Schulze, CEO and Co-founder of 4ocean. “Through our partnership with VeChain, we’re removing 300,000 pounds of plastic from the ocean — the equivalent of 14.4 million plastic water bottles.
We’re committed to laying the groundwork for exploring blockchain technology to enhance our tracking and verification systems, providing greater transparency into our cleanup operations.”
Powering VeBetter Growth
The partnership with 4ocean perfectly embodies the VeBetter ecosystem’s mission — empowering people to drive change in a manner aligned with their personal priorities, with blockchain recording and rewarding those efforts. Through gamification and incentivization, VeBetter delivers a scalable, engaging pathway for Web3 adoption with real world impact.
The core principle behind VeBetter is simple yet powerful. Through an innovative “X-2-Earn” approach, with ‘X’, the unknown variable, representing sustainable activities (like ocean cleanups), VeBetter tokenizes and incentivizes real-world impact, tying actions to reductions of resources, or reduced emissions, granting value to the data.

#加密市场反弹 $VET Introducing the stablecoin $USDGLO on VeChain and its importance. The GLO Dollar (USDGLO) in the VeChainThor blockchain ecosystem is a stablecoin designed to maintain a stable value, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. It aims to provide a reliable blockchain-based medium of exchange to mitigate the volatility typically associated with cryptocurrencies. This stability makes $USDGLO more reliable. VeChain enhances its capabilities in several ways: ① Stable medium of exchange: Businesses can now transact using stablecoins, ensuring that the value of transactions remains unchanged, which is crucial for long-term contracts or international transactions where currency stability is vital. ② Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications: By using $USDGLO, VeChain can expand its DeFi offerings. This includes the potential for lending and other financial services where having stable assets is beneficial. The integration supports a broader range of decentralized applications (dApps) that require price stability. ③ Enhanced accessibility: $USDGLO VeChainThor makes it easier for businesses hesitant due to the volatility of other cryptocurrencies to access blockchain technology. This could drive further adoption of VeChain's blockchain in enterprise solutions. ④ Sustainability and social impact: $USDGLO promotes sustainability through tokenomics mechanisms. For instance, a portion of interest or transaction fees could be allocated to sustainability projects, aligning with VeChain's broader mission of leveraging blockchain for environmental and social benefits. This is consistent with the sustainability ecosystem of vebetterdao. Looking forward
