VeChain’s partnership with Smartcar enables EV and hybrid drivers across 30+ brands to earn on-chain rewards for verifiable, consent-based sustainable driving.
VeBetter platform and StarGate staking system support over 43 million sustainability actions and 10 billion $VET staked.

VeChain has announced a new partnership with Smartcar to launch an on-chain vehicle data initiative that supports sustainable driving. Through the platform Evearn.io, EV and hybrid drivers in Europe and North America can now connect their vehicles to earn blockchain-based rewards. The system uses Smartcar’s standardized vehicle data APIs and VeChain’s blockchain infrastructure to provide verifiable climate contributions based on real driving activity.

What if every sustainable mile you drive could be verified, rewarded, and contribute to measurable climate impact?
That’s exactly what VeChain’s new partnership with Smartcar delivers.

Drivers who participate in the program can connect their vehicle once, drive normally, and receive rewards that are recorded transparently on-chain. The data is collected with full user consent and aligned with compliance protocols. The network records each verified sustainable mile without using manual inputs or third-party assumptions. The process is aimed at creating an automated link between personal mobility and environmental responsibility.

This partnership promotes over 30 vehicle brands in two continents, where people have wider access to incentives associated with sustainability. VeChain noted that the program will be a departure from carbon tracking by creating measurable, verifiable results through decentralized technology. Concurrent with this update, VeChain has been placed 7th in a list of the top crypto Real World Asset (RWA) projects by onchain data platform Santiment in terms of development activity.

VeChain Developer Metrics and VeBetter Ecosystem Show Network Growth

VeChain’s broader ecosystem, including its VeBetter platform, has registered more than 43 million sustainable actions to date. These include behavior-based contributions that are verified, tracked, and rewarded via the network’s blockchain infrastructure. According to a recent post, the VeBetter program continues to convert real-world actions into on-chain metrics, reinforcing Web3 utility beyond finance.

Meanwhile, new user engagement on VeChain is on the rise. As noted by X user fookelon, “6,600 NEW wallet per day on VeChain with a 510,247 VTHO burn.” Activity data also shows nearly 29,000 unique wallets have deployed smart contracts, contributing to over 300,000 contracts live on the VeChain mainnet. 

Bitrue’s Mugshot initiative, which is a part of the VeBetter ecosystem, is also gaining momentum. The community reports that more than 18,900 daily users are taking part in the reward program. StarGate, the staking system of the network, holds more than 10 billion VET, which allows earning passive income without losing access to capital. The model enables both retail and institutional users to be involved on a long-term basis.

As we reported, VeChain also collaborated with 4ocean on a blockchain-based environmental cleanup verification system. The application is built around smart contracts that monitor and compensate waste collection activities in the world. With these updates, the VET price has since recovered from the 15% decline in the last 7 days. At press time, the token was changing hands at $0.008555, a 0.70% rise.
