B3TR/Vechain- Carbon Credits – RWA opportunities through global adoption
I’d like to start off by saying that I have no affiliation with Vechain official, and can’t actually tell if this is their strategy, or was their intent. However, if it isn’t, they should definitely reach out to me, and give me a reward for being a genius.
So, let’s dive into it.
The VeBetterDao platform offers a plethora of opportunities. It also showcases Vechain as a L1 platform, and in my opinion, takes a more serious approach to what real, scalable adoption, looks like. It’s not memecoins and rugpulls, but tangible evidence that blockchain offers credible solutions that are impossible to create elsewhere.
In alignment with their original company ethical values, the primary focus here is environmentally conscious RWA, made simple, profitable, and interesting.
Whenever Vechain issues B3tr, it costs them next to nothing. In return, the user must perform tangible actions, that mitigates their carbon footprint.
An example from earlier today, is Bubbles:
Bubbles has a max limit of 5 actions per day, for the sake of this discussion, we’ll use all of them. This means that a user may have 1825 actions per year, reducing their carbon footprint by 0.82kg CO2e per action – the assumption here is that the user would have used a plastic bottle as the alternative. Which, for the sake of the sale of carbon credits, is good enough. We’ll come back to that later.
A user can then generate 1.496 metric tonnes of carbon credits (CC) per annum.
Scale this up to half of the Vechain sub, and you’re looking at:
1.496m3 * 111700 =167 103,2 m³
These CC are valued at €70.39 (may 19 2025) per m3.
The value created, just through Bubbles the dApp, then becomes: 167103.2 * €70.39 =€11 762 394,25
What then about the other dApps.
An average tumbler has a carbon footprint (CF) of 1.8kg CO2e per use.
HangNDry now offers a profitable alternative. Rather than spend electricity on drying your clothes in a tumbler, you can now earn money on top of it, by being environmentally friendly.
The median is about 120 tumbler uses per year, per person. Let’s use the same numbers again, and we’re looking at 120 * 1.8kg CO2e = 216kg CC created per user. 0.216m3 * 111700 =24 127,2 m³ —> 24127.2 * €70.39 =€1 698 313,61
It all adds up, and it has an absolutely astounding revenue potential, that costs almost nothing.
In comparison, other companies are making big moves in selling CC’s, but there’s just not enough to go around, and no one has been able to truly tap into the consumer market. Because if you as a company sell less papercups or styrofoam cups with coffee, you’re losing revenue.
Tesla has had the sale of CCs as one of their largest revenue streams for years, and has been able to negate some of their worse losses because of a high OPEX.
Vechain can with a swift adoption rate, become the most used blockchain in the world, as well as secure a significant revenue stream, simply by making it interesting for the consumer to think about the environment.
The implications of the scale up of VeBetterDao are huge, and gives Vechain the possibility to initiate in industrial symbiosis projects, where CCs are the main pipeline, but can be built upon to sell supplychain and tracking solutions as well.
If they do it well, they can let companies build apps that enables the consumer to earn, save, (feel good about being environmentally friendly?) and interact with their go-to producers, as well as partake in the revenue generated by CCs. Vechain can then sit back, and collect basically royalties from this work.
I doubt it’s gonna be alot, but at current prices, I think a regular household, with 2+ users, can generate around $2-3000 per year.
For some, that will be negligible, for others, life changing.
What I find the most interesting, is the gaming aspect of it all. Using the apps becomes almost an obsession once you start. Since it’s all convoluted, yet intuitive, it requires near to no knowledge or experience navigating the software/app.
I’ll easily reccomend people download the VeWorld wallet, buy $1 worth of VTHO, and start using the various dApps available on it.
In addition to being able to vote for the apps you yourself think deserve a larger issuance of the pool, you can also stake your B3TR and simply collect additional rewards.
We’re all spending so much time on tribalism and nagging about blockchain being a solution looking for a problem. Vechain, with their ability to sell CarbonCredits, gives the people in this space, regardless of which blockchain you want to succeed, the direct ability to actually use the technology on a daily basis.
Even if you don’t have a horse in this race, you can start earning, simply by doing. You don’t need to own Vechain, you don’t need to root for them as a company, or even believe in them. You get to try it out, basically for free, and start earning based on things a lot of us are allready doing.
I challenge all /r/cryptocurrency users to try it out, and give concrete feedback on what you think should be different, what works, what’s awesome, and make some money in the process.
Seeing how this sub went bananas over moons, the VeBetterDao is exactly what most of you have been looking for!
