- VeChain will soon implement a governance change in the VeBetterDAO so that node and dApp endorsers can distribute their points much more flexibly in the future.
- The core of the change is a 49-point cap per endorser and dApp.
VeChain plans to soon implement a governance change in the VeBetterDAO ecosystem that will give node and dApp endorsers significantly finer control over their endorsement points.
Specifically, it is about the implementation of the community proposal “Unlocking Endorsement Capital to Foster Growth and Protecting the VeBetterDAO ecosystem”, the implementation of which VeChain on X announced as immediate on Tuesday. The VeChain Foundation wrote via X:
“Coming soon – stay tuned for updates and get ready to distribute your referral points more differentiated in the future!”
VeChain’s VeBetterDAO governance becomes more decentralized
The proposal was originally published on July 18, 2025; The text was later expanded or made more precise. It does not have a classic “VIP” number (VeChain Improvement Proposal) in this form – in the community it is referenced via the title. In VeBetterDAO itself, governance changes are generally carried out via the on-chain governance system (B3TRGovernor/TimeLock).
At its core, the proposal addresses two problems in the previous endorsement design: First, endorsement capital was unnecessarily tied up in an “all-or-nothing” scheme. Second, a single large node can effectively single-handedly carry a dApp endorsement, a centralization risk that contradicts the DAO idea.
The VeChain Foundation quoted a post from VeBetter Dao community member BreakingBallz:
“The proposal will be implemented very soon. We should all be excited. This was a collaborative effort voted on by both the general community and dApp endorsers.”
The proposal targets two weak points of the previous endorsement design: tied endorsement capital and too much power of individual large nodes. In the Discourse it says:
“While the current VeBetterDAO endorsement model is functional, it imposes noticeable limitations: it locks up valuable endorsement capital and lowers security for node holders. The ‘all-or-nothing’ system forces endorsers to allocate their entire score to a single dApp.”
This results in the core change: In the future, endorsers should be able to distribute their points across several dApps instead of relying on the entire stack on one application. VeChain describes exactly this goal: Endorsement points will soon be allocated “with more nuanced control.”
The central security mechanism is a cap of 49 points per endorser and dApp. BreakingBallz writes:
“There is now a 49-point cap per endorser and per dApp. This means that at least three endorsers will be required to bring a dApp into the DAO.”
After implementation, the community expects a noticeable re-sorting in the short term: BreakingBallz writes that with the 49-point cap, “over 20 dApps” will enter a two-week grace period.
This grace period is intended as a buffer in the endorsement system: If an app’s score falls below the 100-point threshold, it remains active for two weeks, but must collect enough endorsements again within this time, otherwise it will be marked as inactive for allocation rounds.
BreakingBallz therefore combines the new freedom with a clear expectation of endorsers:
“You now have more freedom to spread your points – but with that comes responsibility. Look beyond the ‘highest kickback’. Higher rewards often mask a lack of community value.”
