This week, I decided to focus on a few dApps that have shown great numbers in the areas I value. I used the performance tags below to find the top candidates by hard metrics, and from there, I picked the ones I value on the softer metrics (community involvement, updates, roadmap, etc.).

The candidates were selected with this weight:

  • Ecosystem Growth (New Users) (Weight: 10%)
  • Account Retention (Stickiness) (Weight: 15%)
  • Reward Utilization (Distribution) (Weight: 20%)
  • Signaling (Weight: 30%)
  • Ecosystem Synergy (Cross-Pollination) (Weight: 25%)

Signaling and ecosystem synergy were weighted the highest because they are the two metrics I believe show dApp engagement to protect the app and DAO from bad actors.

While ecosystem growth is important, it is harder to measure. One dApp that is exploited will have a large amount of new “users,” but unless those users are also using other dApps (especially in the days of B3MO Quests highly incentivizing trying new dApps), it is more likely that the users are just fake accounts.

If a dApp has both new accounts as well as a high synergy percentage, it indicates a higher amount of legitimate users.

After my motivations for the round, I’ve gathered some stats on the voter rewards from early rounds of freshness.

Let’s jump in!


Methodology & Scope
This report is automatically generated using indexed data from WalletWatcher. However, the voted-for-apps is manually selected by me using a mix of analysis and personal insights.

To ensure a fair and stable analysis, all growth and security metrics are calculated as a 4-round rolling total (approx. 8 weeks). Growth indicators (▲/▼) represent the change between the current window and the previous overlapping window (a 1-round shift, e.g., Rounds 94-97 vs. 93-96). This methodology filters out biweekly volatility to highlight sustained ecosystem trends.
Performance Tags & KPI Definitions
GROWTH
Ecosystem Growth: Apps bringing ≥20 new accounts into the DAO over the last 4 rounds.
DISCO
App Discovery: Existing DAO users using this app for the first time (Target: ≥30).
STICKY
Account Retention: Apps with a loyal core audience (Target: ≥70% round-over-round return rate).
HUB
Ecosystem Synergy: Percentage of new users who explored other DAO apps (Target: ≥40%).
DISTRO
Reward Utilization: Total B3TR distributed vs. total allocation received (Target: ≥70%).
SIGNAL
Bot Signaling: Active fraud prevention via community signaling (Target: ≥16 writes/resets).

Reheat’s Allocation & Notes

Navigator Allocation: Round 102

ST3PR

GROWTHDISCOSTICKYHUBSIGNAL
Reheat's Rationale:
"Since launching their native apps a few weeks back, we have seen consistent updates ( https://x.com/ST3PR_VET/status/2064277753868783665 ), a very high reward average per user, and the continued community presence with giveaways (jackpot wheel, minigames on their discord server), and they also topped the chart on the metrics above.

They’ve also been quick to implement the new function to distribute rewards based on the actual round it was performed in, making ‘pre-loading’ of actions for B3MO Quests impossible. Great stuff."
Recommendations:
"None this round."

Cleanify

GROWTHDISCOSTICKYSIGNAL
Reheat's Rationale:
"Cleanify has been a strong trendsetter in a lot of things. I really like their fully-VBD native ‘skin in the game’ system, their ease-of-use and the new leaderboard added a few months back.

The app is simple to use and with the addition of refillable bottles and reusable bags added as an option recently, Cleanify is quickly becoming the ‘everything’ dApp.

Just like ST3PR, Cleanify was also quick to add the new distribute function for quests."
Recommendations:
"I’ve discussed this briefly before with Cleanify, but the leaderboard is too deterministic currently. Would love to see some tweaks there. If your skin in the game level is too low or you don’t time submissions perfectly, there’s no way to catch up based on performance.

In addition, with so many available actions now (that all share one cooldown), users could just do the easiest one every time, with no reason to do any of the other actions. It would be good to see reasons to try other modes (which they’ve teased a solution on with a wheel spin feature)"

Cleanmate

GROWTHDISCODISTROSIGNAL
Reheat's Rationale:
"Cleanmate has quickly risen to become a great new dApp. They’re active on their Telegram, have great support, the app itself looks good and works well. Fun to see quests from them as well. And they're great signaling users."
Recommendations:
"Some separation from its Cleanify inspiration would be great to see. Currently, it functions a little bit too similarly to Cleanify (which has a first-mover advantage). Maybe it would be possible to have just one submission type instead of 5+, and it figures out what sustainable action you’re doing out of the approved ones automatically?"

ScoopUp

DISCOSTICKY
Reheat's Rationale:
"While the overall metrics for ScoopUp are slightly weaker than other dApps on the list this round, their trends are good, and updates on the new app are frequent. Both the founder (Mr Whittleman) and ScoopUp’s dev has been active on the VeBetterDAO community hub discord server, answering questions and listening to feedback.

The V2 of the app is looking great, now we just need the momentum to continue, so I want to support their efforts."
Recommendations:
"ScoopUp is niche by design, which is both its blessing and its curse. It’s exclusively targeted on dog owners, but this limits its growth and discovery potential. Alternatives for non-dog owners would be welcome."

Avoco

DISCOSTICKYHUBSIGNAL
Reheat's Rationale:
"A new, simplified UI from Avoco recently and their trends are still strong. Fun to see reward codes make a come-back. Also strong signalers."
Recommendations:
"Simplicity is great, but it can also feel stagnant. Over time, I’d expect more features added. Avoco could become the best nutrition/food dApp on the DAO if they expand. Other dApps in the same niche exist, but none have really flourished. The foundation is solid but the dApp needs to evolve with time."

Green Ambassador Challenge

GROWTHDISCODISTROSIGNAL
Reheat's Rationale:
"Green Ambassador Challenge continues to deliver new challenges while participating in discussions on Discord and Telegram, contributing with their experience.

In addition, their reward utilization is very strong, despite the low B3TR value currently. This means they’re self-funding operations instead of withdrawing more to sustain themselves which is great to see."
Recommendations:
"Nothing new this round."

Closing thoughts

Last rounds we’ve looked at freshness data. Now we’ve started to see some data on the actual impact on voter rewards as well, so this week we are analysing that.

This sample is taken from round 100 votes (rewards claimed in round 101). As round 102 is not yet complete we do not yet have complete numbers from there.

‘Efficiency’ is the most interesting number here. It shows the B3TR Earnt per 100 VOT3 across the different freshness multipliers.

Takeaways

  • Active voters take almost everything: The donut chart shows that the 3x Freshness group captured 89.1% of all voter rewards, even though they only made up about a quarter of the total voters (but the .

  • The multiplier works exactly as designed: Voters who updated their apps this round earned rewards at a rate 3x higher () than those who haven’t updated in 3+ rounds ().

  • Most wallets are still unaware of freshness: Roughly 70% of all voters (over 10,500 votes) sat in the lowest 1x tier, meaning the vast majority of wallets are voting with stale preferences and missing out on big rewards.

Defensive Gap Analysis (Last 4 Rounds)

Measures dApp protections. Rewards distributed to accounts AFTER they were officially flagged as bots. This highlights where an app ignores ecosystem signals, continuing to reward bad actors already identified by others.

Methodology Note: To ensure fairness, we only count rewards distributed AFTER the account was officially signaled. If an app rewards a flagged account, it is considered a leak. Learn more about Bot Signaling

Bot Signaling & Fraud Prevention (28-Day Activity)

Measures active defense. Apps using their SIGNALER_ROLE to flag suspicious addresses (bots/scammers) to the VeBetter ecosystem. These are the apps doing the “hard work” to protect the ecosystem for everyone else. “Writes” are new signals created, while “Resets” are removals of prior signals (often used to revert accidental/collateral signals).

For more information on how to integrate these checks, see the VeBetterDAO Bot Signaling Docs.

Note: Mugshot has signaled a vast amount of farmer wallets that were ‘kept alive’ with their monthly leaderboard rewards counting as valid proofs. This was a one-off signal on June 7th and not a continued signaling pattern since. Kudos to Morb for pushing them to signal these wallets. Thanks Mugshot for signaling.
