Voting and Allocation Rounds

The Green Ambassador Challenge's funding depends on community votes. Every week, VeBetterDAO runs an allocation round where VOT3 holders vote to decide how B3TR is distributed among sustainability apps. Voting supports the platform and earns you rewards.

Why your vote matters

The Green Ambassador Challenge doesn't have a fixed budget. Its weekly funding comes entirely from VeBetterDAO allocation rounds, and the amount it receives is determined by how many votes the community casts in its favour.

Every vote for the Green Ambassador Challenge translates into more rewards for challenge completions, more treasury funding for platform development, and continued growth of the sustainability community.

The ripple effect

Supporting the Green Ambassador Challenge through votes creates a positive cycle:

1. More votes → More B3TR funding from VeBetterDAO.
2. More funding → Higher challenge rewards for all users.
3. Higher rewards → More users join and complete challenges.
4. More users → More potential voters.
5. More voters → Back to step 1.

This cycle sustains the platform's mission of making sustainability education accessible and rewarding.

How allocation rounds work

Every week, the VeBetterDAO treasury releases a batch of B3TR tokens that need to be divided among all sustainability apps in the ecosystem. Instead of a central authority making this decision, the community decides through allocation voting.

Here's the cycle:

1. A new round opens: A fresh allocation round starts each week.
2. VOT3 holders vote: Anyone holding VOT3 can cast votes for the apps they want to support.
3. The round closes: After the voting window ends, votes are tallied.
4. B3TR is distributed: Each app receives a share of the weekly B3TR emission proportional to the votes it received.

Key timing details:

• Rounds start weekly: A new round opens automatically each week.
• Votes reset each round: Your votes from last week do not carry over. You must vote again in each new round to have your voice counted.
• No limit on participation: You can vote in every single round.

Voting eligibility

To vote in allocation rounds, you must meet one requirement:

• Complete at least 3 challenges on the Green Ambassador Challenge (or 3 qualifying actions on other VeBetter ecosystem apps) in the last 12 weeks.

The 12-week eligibility window is rolling. As long as you stay active with at least 3 challenges in any 12-week period, you remain eligible. If you use the Green Ambassador Challenge regularly, you likely meet this threshold without any extra effort. You can check your eligibility on the governance portal.

How voting works for your wallet

How you vote depends on the type of wallet you connect to the platform:

If you're not sure which one you use, see Setting Up Your Wallet.

Voting rewards

After each allocation round closes, a portion of the weekly B3TR emission is set aside for voters. Every wallet that cast a vote during the round receives a share of this voter reward pool. Your share is proportional to the amount of VOT3 you voted with.

The double benefit

Voting doesn't just earn you direct B3TR from VeBetterDAO. It also activates a reward multiplier on the Green Ambassador Challenge:

The multiplier activates when you have voted in either the current or the most recent allocation round. As long as you vote at least every other week, this bonus stays active.

Claiming your rewards

How you claim depends on your wallet type:

• Managed wallets: voting rewards are credited to your account automatically once the round closes — no action needed.
• Self-hosted wallets: head to governance.vebetterdao.org after the round ends and use the claim option. Claiming requires a small VTHO gas fee for the transaction.
