VeChain Hackathon: Meatless and EcoNex Emerge Victorious

VeChain, a prominent enterprise-grade L1 public blockchain, recently hosted a hackathon at the University of Cambridge. The event, co-hosted with Web3 educational mobile app EasyA and supported by global consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG), aimed to foster the growth of the VeBetterDAO.

What's the VeBetterDAO?

The VeBetterDAO is a VeChain-powered sustainable ecosystem that incentivizes enterprises and individuals with the B3TR token for positive environmental impact.

Who Were the Winners?

Two standout projects emerged from the hackathon: Meatless and EcoNex.

Meatless: Incentivizing Sustainable Food Choices

Meatless aims to reduce unsustainable food production by rewarding users with B3TR for making eco-conscious food choices. By subsidizing sustainable products indirectly, Meatless empowers sponsors to make a tangible impact.

EcoNex: Promoting Eco-Friendly Commuting

EcoNex rewards users with B3TR for opting for environmentally friendly commuting options. By incentivizing sustainable transportation, EcoNex seeks to alleviate urban congestion and its associated negative effects, such as excessive fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

How Will These Projects Impact VeChain?

The crypto community is buzzing about the potential of Meatless and EcoNex within the VeChain ecosystem. While their impact on VET, VeChain's native token, is yet to be determined, their development and adoption will undoubtedly shape the future of the platform.
