đ Whoâs a good news post?! You are!
Welcome back to the News from the DAO.
The news posts are from June 1st to June 10th!
Have I missed something? Ping @ReheatVet on X.
ScoopUp walks with PAWS and launches updates
@ScoopUp_vet has had a busy week with their first in person event showcasing their dApp to a bunch of dog owners at the annual PAWSwalk. Marketing in action, folks!
In addition, they have finalized their @Groncardx integration meaning their users can now enjoy gift cards to Petco and Petsmart (in addition to all other GronCard gift cards) directly in the ScoopUp dapp.
Further, theyâve announced that the team membersâ personally minted @Thorheads has been delegated to the ScoopUp VTHO sponsor account for their users to enjoy gas-free transactions. Thatâs a really cool power move!
Finally - this week their grant proposal is up for the support phase. The grants are supposed to be pushed through to the voting stage by the foundationâs grant team but it appears that the vot3s are yet to be deposited. Once it has passed support - remember to vote for it.

Cleanify teases massive app upgrades
@cleanify_vet has revealed a huge list of pending updates to their dApp. Check out the source below for the full details but some highlights include:
- Changing their manual review (and by extension the review2earn program) to one based on the @vechainofficial B3MO AI.
- Clean ups gets a social overhaul to incentivize cleaning up with friends!
- Quick drops are added for folks on the run. Smaller, simple actions should now be easier to complete in the dApp.
- Compost all the things! You can now snap photos of your compost to earn rewards.
- Waste sorting and proper cigarette butt discards will now be rewarded.
Itâs not yet released - and there are even some more features not yet announced - but this is one dApp I will definitely revisit more moving forward.

Plans moving forward for EcoBag
@_BagSolutions_ are updating their rewards from this week and even tease some upcoming plans.
Their base rewards are scaled down to 5 B3TR per submission, but their EcoBag holders (the phygital NFT - learn more in my â Getting Started with dApps guide) gets an increased multiplier at 3.1X and any X-Node holder will be increased to 2.4X.
BagCoin, a custom token for the EcoBag project, is coming soon. Users are supposed to earn this by submitting photos, staying active and engaging with the dApp and it will supposedly be used to boost your multiplier further.
Finally, an achievement system for consistent users will be introduced. Users can earn badges with their achievements and can stake them for extra utility.

BigBottle upgrades their dApp
While I havenât had issues myself, I know many people have faced issues with blurry submissions being denied with @bigbottle_vet, among other things.
This will be fixed in the next release with an option to take photos directly with your phone. In addition, theyâre integrating @vedelegate in-app voting just like many other dApps have done.

PowerUp is active and distributing rewards
The @PowerUp_vet team saw their dApp get endorsed a few weeks back and last week was their first time distributing rewards.
The distribution is designed to reward users proportionally based on their share of the total âPower Up pointsâ in a round. The higher your share the more B3TR you will earn.

Green Ambassador doubles up on challenges
@GreenAmbChal has launched a new challenge on floods. What are they, what destruction can they cause and learn how to build resilience towards them.
In addition, they have partnered up with @vechainofficial on the Vechain teamâs trip to Expo 2025 in Japan. Together, they have launched a limited time challenge where participants have a chance to win $100 in B3TR! Find the link in the sources below.

Restify is pending listing in Google Play Store
@Restify_App is endorsed and active on the VebetterDAO but have hit some roadblocks in getting their app listed on the Google Play Store.
Fingers crossed, the app is listed this week. In the meantime, no rewards are claimed, sold or distributed - they are saving it all for the launch!
Once live they will give: ⢠80% to users ⢠15% to operations ⢠5% to endorsers
I for one am looking forward to resting with their app. Stay tuned to their socials (and join their telegram)!

BYB is officially endorsed
@byb_vbd is an app designed to put a twist on your typical workout. With their dApp (and iOS app at launch) users will be able to earn B3TR by completing exercises.
The workouts are supposed to be personalized and gamified with challenges for every user.
Visit their website to learn more ahead of the launch: https://bybgym.com/

B3DTIME teases their dAppâs demo
And my final news post this week comes from none other than @B3DTIME_VET and their brand new demo teaser.
As a complete opposite to BYB above, B3DTIME will reward users for tracking and improving their sleep. A grant proposal is coming up and the dApp should soon be listed in the VeBetterDAO.

Thatâs a wrap, folks
The â Getting Started with dApps will be updated with the recent changes tomorrow.
Thanks for this week, onto the next one!
