- VeChain-based app Eearn (VeBetter) partners with Smartcar.
- Verified electric and hybrid rides are rewarded with B3TR tokens.
The VeChain Foundation reports a strategic partnership between the VeBetter app Eearn and the connected vehicle data provider Smartcar: drivers of electric and hybrid vehicles will be rewarded with B3TR tokens for verified, lower-emission journeys.
The aim of the partnership is to record driving data uniformly, accurately calculate CO₂ savings and process rewards transparently on-chain.
VeChain awards rewards for electric and hybrid drivers
According to the VeChain Foundation, the cooperation links Smartcars vehicle interface to VeChain’s infrastructure. Everyday trips should be recorded as “verifiable signals of sustainable mobility” and linked to digital rewards. In one Post on X from January 21st it says:
“Through this collaboration, Smartcar’s advanced connected vehicle technology enables Eearn users to seamlessly monitor the CO₂ saved on their journeys by using an electric or hybrid vehicle instead of a combustion-powered vehicle. VeChain’s blockchain infrastructure then ensures that rewards are accurately allocated based on verified vehicle data.”
According to X-Post, the partnership includes more than 30 electric car and hybrid brands and is intended to enable tracking and rewards “in Europe and North America”.
For the VeChain Foundation, the cooperation focuses on three central benefits. Firstly, “accuracy”: Smartcar should provide a reliable, standardized data connection across the supported brands so that driving behavior is recorded consistently.
Secondly, “trust”: VeChain wants to document reward logic, allocation and proof of the amount of CO₂ saved per trip on a public blockchain.
Thirdly, “Engagement”: Drivers should see a clear connection between daily trips and the rewards earned, which should make sustainable mobility “more tangible, visible and motivating”.
Eearn describes Smartcar as a “data bridge” between vehicles and the platform. Users should connect their vehicle, and Smartcar enables “secure access to selected driving information under clear consent controls” without additional hardware or complex setup.
At the same time, the VeChain Foundation emphasizes the protection of privacy:
“User data remains protected, and Eearn only accesses odometer readings, not sensitive personal information.”
Eearn determines reward eligibility based on this data. VeChain’s blockchain is then intended to secure the ‘final step’: the database for the calculation, the CO₂ proof per trip and transparent allocation rules. Users can also hold and manage the rewards as digital assets in the VeBetter ecosystem.
