Round 98 Report

Navigator Biweekly Report - Round 98

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 98

ST3PR GROWTHDISCOSTICKYHUBSIGNAL

Reheat's Rationale:

"A community staple. A great, easy to understand core rewards loop that fits the DAO well.

ST3PR distributes well, is by far the top signal writer and continues to run fun competitions / games on their Discord server and handle all support tickets in reasonable time.

While the native apps have taken a while to release, they have a clear roadmap ahead, starting with the upcoming native apps."

Recommendations:

"The native app testing groups are updated with what the delay is, but the public channels (Discord, X) feel a bit more reactive than proactive on news. A public update on what the current status is would be appreciated!"

HangnDry DISCOSTICKY

Reheat's Rationale:

"Hangndry, just like ST3PR, fosters a caring community and is very active with challenges and short-term extra reward bursts.

Their app is simple to use, has no complex NFT requirements, and serves a clear purpose."

Recommendations:

"The app itself (features and look) has been largely unchanged for quite some time now. A roadmap or plans for the future would be good to see. In addition, Hangndry has signaled in the past. It would be good to see that return. VeKit integration for social login would be good."

Avoco DISCOSTICKYDISTROSIGNAL

Reheat's Rationale:

"A DAO newcomer with a similar idea as others. While it is not really doing anything brand new, their app works great, feels intuitive, and has no complex requirements to use.

They are one of the more active signal writers and also run a Discord server where they are quick to respond to feedback."

Recommendations:

"Avoco has gotten off to a great start. Now, we need to see it continue in order to get continuous votes. A roadmap would be appreciated. VeKit integration for social login would be good."

ScoopUp STICKY

Reheat's Rationale:

"Their current version is serviceable and has worked fine, but what landed ScoopUp a spot on my voting list this week is their upcoming V2 of the dApp.

A complete rewrite in design, functionality, and flow should kickstart a new era of scoopers."

Recommendations:

"Return of the signaling. With Puppy Pass, clear cases of abuse could easily be signaled for everyone to benefit."

B3DTIME STICKY

Reheat's Rationale:

"Another solid, easy-to-use dApp that fills a void that no other dApp offers. I appreciate that it doesn’t require any ‘activation’ to begin earning, you simply record your sleep with a wearable device and sync it via Withings to B3DTIME.

Their app is quick and responsive and the team has an active community and social presence with challenges and B3MO Quests."

Recommendations:

"Similarly to HangNDry, plans for the future would be appreciated. The app has largely stayed the same since the early days. The team is already aware of course, but Withings is also another pain-point for a lot of users. Its synchronization is flakey and usually requires multiple steps to get the data to B3DTIME. This and the wearable sleep tracker requirement limits onboarding potential.

A long-term-goal of their own implementation to replace Withings would be ideal."

Bikademy GROWTHDISCOSTICKY

Reheat's Rationale:

"Bikademy has started off strong with an easy-to-use native app, an existing user base from outside VeChain, and no immediate blockers for using it. The GPS tracking works well, and the team is responding to feedback and answering questions well. There are no obvious signs of GPS spoofing as found with other GPS-based apps in the past, yet.

Their challenges and leaderboards are fun, and they have been active in engaging with the community through B3MO Quests and monthly reward airdrops to top users in different categories."

Recommendations:

"The team is aware, so it is just a reminder. The 0.2 flat base rate has been OK to test the dApp in the beginning, but in order to keep users coming back, a higher reward based on allocation share and effort from the user (distance traveled, for example) is a must."

Green Ambassador Challenge GROWTHDISCODISTROSIGNAL

Reheat's Rationale:

"Green Ambassador Challenge (GAC) has been a solid dApp since Day 1 of the DAO and continues to iterate.

After some downtime last year, GAC came back with a refreshed app, VBD-native multipliers, new challenges, dApp collaborations, and a presence in governance discussions on the VBD Community Hub Discord server.

GAC is also one of the only learning-based dApps on VBD. Finally, they are also the second most active signalers."

Recommendations:

"Some more ways for recurring users to earn without relying on a new stream of challenges. Perhaps an option to retake quizzes from old challenges to make sure the knowledge stuck?"

Dappies

Reheat's Rationale:

"Offering a unique spin on gamifying better actions, Dappies has a nice loop of hatching an egg and caring for a pet. Each week, you feed the pet based on actions done on VBD dApps in different categories. The pet you hatch decides the amount of actions required in each category to level the pet up.

I see Dappies as a very strong onboarding app to the entire ecosystem, as the user learns about 20+ other dApps by using it. It has a lot of potential, but it needs to be seen through."

Recommendations:

"A 2500 B3TR buy-in is expensive. Some sort of free model is required to get a wider audience and to onboard users to other dApps. In addition, it needs a lot of unique features to really set it apart: education, guides, dApp collaborations, etc. Right now, it is arguably breaching the fair use rule of "double dipping," rewarding an action that has already been rewarded by the DAO. New, unique features of its own are needed."

A ZeLoop Spotter DISCO

Reheat's Rationale:

"Zeloop has been very active in governance discussions on the VBD Community Hub Discord server and Discourse, even before being endorsed.

While waiting to be endorsed, they were active with challenges like the Easter egg hunt and endorsement challenges.

After being endorsed, they kept the pace up, working with dApps like Sproutly to bridge dApp borders, sponsoring community quests, and more.

On the app side, their Zeloop Spotter app is easy to use, has no complex requirements, and is, as far as I know, the only Progressive Web App (PWA) on the DAO, mimicking the feel of a native app.

Finally, they have just started using the signal admin to protect the ecosystem."

Recommendations:

"Having two separate apps, Zeloop (their native app) and Spotter (their VBD app), comes with some difficulties. Continued work is needed to educate and bridge the two apps together to reduce confusion."

NFBC DISTRO

Reheat's Rationale:

"A long-standing dApp with one of the strongest business use cases is NFBC. Their new platform, launched last year, sets a strong foundation, and we have already seen authors being onboarded and selling their audiobooks on the platform.

They offer fiat payments through Stripe, provide a very easy-to-use dApp, and serve a very specific use case that has the potential to be massive in the audiobook space.

In addition, they have an active team on social media, Discord, and X spaces."

Recommendations:

"The new-user experience can be daunting; figuring out where to find eligible listen-to-earn books is just to look for a golden border."

Arbor DISCOSTICKY

Reheat's Rationale:

"Arbor offers an interesting approach to caring for your plants. They are active on X spaces and Discord. The app is simple to use: plant something, and care for it with check-ins.

Their strong focus on security and custom internal signaling solutions is appreciated."

Recommendations:

"While their passport minted with their own SaaS token is efficient at combating farming, it limits onboarding. Some sort of VBD-native method of joining will be needed for the future. In addition, integration with the VBD signaling would be nice to see (note: currently being looked at by the team)."

Sproutly STICKY

Reheat's Rationale:

"The concept of an idle game to care for trees is very interesting. Users have the option to play for free with a digital-only tree or buy a seed to plant a tree tied together with actual real-life trees planted in South America.

The app is simple to use, exists on both major app stores, and runs well. Their ad-supported model means less reliance on the B3TR allocation to fund operations.

They have a strong community both in-game, with their orchards to group players together, and on social media. Daily and weekly challenges offer a rewarding "loop" to earn XP daily."

Recommendations:

"The getting-started guide on their website does a good job explaining the basics. Last I checked, however, there was limited information in the actual game on how you would connect to VeWorld, earn B3TR (XP = B3TR rewards if thresholds are met), see your impact, and more. The process involved linking email accounts in-game as well as a different web dashboard, connecting VeWorld there, etc. Information feels spread out in different places.

This might have improved (the team is aware), but it is critical that the onboarding flow is as seamless as possible."

ReCircle

Reheat's Rationale:

"ReCircle is the app I am least familiar with on this list. However, I wanted to include them in my votes this round as they have started off well, and I would like to see them get a small "new dApp" boost in allocation.

They are a new app to join (and be endorsed just recently by) the DAO, but they already have a working native app and their own gift card solution to let users redeem B3TR. They are active on the VBD Community Hub Discord server and fill a void of no other ride-sharing apps currently listed.

They reward trips taken with public transit, rideshares, EV rentals, and so on. Screenshots or physical receipts are accepted."

Recommendations:

"None for now, as it is so new and my practical knowledge of the app is limited. I will update here or in future reports as I use it more."

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.
