Managed Wallets
The current auto-staking system described on this page uses VeDelegate and is a temporary solution. It will be replaced by VeBetterDAO's new auto-voting and relayer system, which keeps tokens in your wallet, supports multiple relayers. This page will be updated when the migration happens.
If you use the platform's built-in managed wallet, your rewards are automatically staked and used to vote for the Green Ambassador Challenge. You don't need to do anything: the platform handles everything for you behind the scenes.
What happens when you earn rewards
Each time you complete a challenge and earn B3TR, the platform runs the following process automatically:
- Your B3TR is staked through a smart contract called VeDelegate.
- B3TR is converted to VOT3 at a 1:1 ratio (1 B3TR = 1 VOT3, always).
- A vote is cast for the Green Ambassador Challenge in the current allocation round.
- Your balance updates to show your staked VOT3 total.
This means your tokens are simultaneously staked (earning you multiplier bonuses) and supporting the platform's funding. All in one step, with zero effort from you.
Auto-staking is one of the biggest advantages of a managed wallet. It removes the manual steps of swapping tokens, choosing where to vote, and paying gas fees. Your rewards start working for you the moment you earn them.
How this supports the platform
The Green Ambassador Challenge's funding comes from weekly VeBetterDAO allocation rounds. The more votes the platform receives, the more B3TR it gets to pay challenge rewards. Every time you earn a reward with a managed wallet, your auto-staked tokens cast a vote for the Green Ambassador Challenge, directly helping keep the platform funded for everyone.
Fee delegation
Normally, every transaction on VeChain requires a small amount of VTHO to pay for gas. With auto-staking, the platform covers these fees for you using a VeChain feature called VIP-191 fee delegation.
This means:
- You pay zero VTHO for staking and voting transactions.
- You don't need to hold any VTHO in your wallet.
- Every token you earn goes directly into staking with no deductions.
Benefits
| Benefit | Details |
|---|---|
| Hold duration multiplier | The longer you keep tokens staked, the higher your reward multiplier grows, boosting every future challenge payout. |
| Automatic voting | Each stake casts a vote for the Green Ambassador Challenge in the allocation round, increasing the platform's funding. |
| Zero gas fees | Fee delegation covers all VTHO costs. You never pay transaction fees. |
| No manual steps | Everything is fully automatic: no swapping, no portals, no wallet signing. |
Example
Say you earn 5 B3TR from a challenge. With your tokens staked for 30+ days, your hold duration multiplier might add +0.5 to your total multiplier. If your overall multiplier is x2.5, that same challenge pays you 12.5 B3TR instead of the base 5 B3TR.
Over time, keeping your tokens staked compounds your earnings significantly.
Withdrawing your tokens
Your staked tokens are always yours. When you're ready, you can withdraw at any time:
- Withdrawing converts your VOT3 back to B3TR at the same 1:1 ratio.
- Your hold duration multiplier resets when you withdraw.
- You can withdraw any amount, partial or full.
Withdrawing resets your hold duration multiplier to zero. If you've been building this bonus over several weeks, consider whether the withdrawal is worth the reset. You can check your current multiplier breakdown on your account page.
What about self-hosted wallets?
If you use a self-hosted wallet, auto-staking is not available. You handle staking and voting yourself by swapping B3TR to VOT3 and casting votes manually. See Voting and Allocation Rounds for a step-by-step guide.
