This proposal brings the opportunity to support remaining active projects by removing apps that fail to provide value to the ecosystem. ## Detailed Specification ### Carbonlarity **Overview** : Carbonlarity sold plugs for electricity consumption measurements. They went silent without any reward payments, social media activity and user support. **Reason for blacklist** : Prolonged inactivity **Last x2earn rewards** : round 95 **Last public activity** : [22nd of January](https://x.com/Carbonlarity/status/2014316353377988920) **Note** : allocation wallet holds 137 022 B3tr ### Wanchain **Overview** : Wanchain is a cross-chain bridge that is still active and provides services. They are not active in the VBD ecosystem, no historic x2earn rewards, no communication with the community. Wanchain continuously ignores any public and private concerns/questions regarding their VBD participation. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/vechain/original/1X/7fd709dba3d63b7b72b8184b2b7eebfcacc22169.png) **Reason for blacklist** : Prolonged inactivity **Last x2earn rewards** : Never **Last public activity** : X account active **Note** : allocation wallet holds 36 860 B3tr ### Vyvo **Overview** : Vyvo has been on the VBD since round 2. They’ve struggled to maintain regular reward distribution and have been criticized about the lack of communication with the broader community of VBD. Recently, they completely stopped reward payments and [announced](https://www.vyvo.com/) restructuration without mentioning any plans regarding VBD. **Reason for blacklist** : Prolonged inactivity **Last x2earn rewards** : 88 **Last public activity** : [4th of August, 2025](https://x.com/VyvoSmartChain/status/1952323630865551491) **Note** : allocation wallet holds 164 528 B3tr ### BigBottle **Overview** : BigBottle is a simpe x2earn app rewarding users for receipts with bottles in them. Joined in round 44. Saw 1 update after community pressure in May 2026. Since, the app went silent again with no user support. User feedback and low user numbers indicate the app is not working properly, with sub 80 active weekly users in the past 10 rounds. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/vechain/original/1X/6eb65aab4c89755c6fe6b858f09e12c8555ec8c3.jpeg) **Reason for blacklist** : Bugs, no user support, lack of updates **Last public activity** : [27th of May](https://x.com/bigbottle_vet/status/2059480140405715004) **Note** : allocation wallet holds 112 993 B3tr ### JusTote **Overview** : JustTote rewards users for grocery receipts. While the app is fully functional, it has not seen a single update for a year. JusTote is failing to provide user support and does not respond to farming reports. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/vechain/original/1X/57c9d47bf32a1cea92fbbfd28c0e2696605caa37.png) **Reason for blacklist** : Stale project, no user support, lack of public activity **Last public activity** : [23rd of August, 2025](https://x.com/JusToteDAO/status/1959326029786513712) **Note** : allocation wallet holds 159 162 B3tr, 500+ active weekly wallets, historical rewards 70% ### PowerUp! Re-endorsed project with no activity. Owner of the project has not made any public announcements about updates and plans with Power Up! Last activity from the owner regarding his app was in December 2025. [Last X post on 1st of December.](https://x.com/PowerUp_vet/status/1995534895222063529) ### Septet **Overview** : Septet consists of 7 apps owned by a connected group of people with shared exit wallets. One of the apps, Ecobin, has been blacklisted recently for inactivity. A detailed description of their performance has been documented in an [audit](https://vechain.discourse.group/t/vebetterdao-community-audit-the-septet-of-the-dao/691). Since, their performance has not improved, despite the fact they were aware about the community concerns. **Reason for blacklist** : no user support, no updates, poor public activity, low user rewards/high manual withdrawals. **Combined allocation stats** : - **Withdrawn:** 559 332 B3tr (78.68%) - **User Rewards:** 138 092 B3tr (19.42%) - **Unused:** 13 486 B3tr (1.90%) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/vechain/original/1X/f27121b38f4a0a8de4197238fd48129cbc4f40d3.png) 1.

Snapbox Last public activity: [21st of November](https://x.com/snapboxonlinee/status/1991861524995121154) User support: Not provided Historic user rewards: 10.7% (ranging from 11.9% to 88.6% in last 10 rounds) 1. Walkie No social media accounts User support: Not provided Historic user rewards: 54.6% (ranging from 0% to 45.4% in last 10 rounds) ### Goals 1. Removing inactive/stale projects from VBD; 2. Increasing potential average allocation for remaining active projects. ## Risk Analysis **Risk** : Reduction in VBD projects **Mitigation** : Removing low effort/inactive projects improves user experience and consolidates remaining resources to active projects. **Risk** : Removal is subjective **Mitigation** : VBD has not caught up with the development to address inactive projects. The only available tool to address community concerns is a proposal targeting individual apps. While this approach is not recommended for a decentralized environment, it allows to immediately address inefficient use of VBD funds. ## Community Engagement The proposal was discussed by community members and app owners on VBD Community Hub Discord server, link to Discourse discussion shared on X and Telegram. ## Conclusion Blacklisting these 12 inactive and underperforming projects is a necessary step to protect the ecosystem and ensure allocations go to projects actively building. While a governance-led cleanup is a temporary solution until automated safeguards are implemented, it immediately addresses the leakage of weekly allocations. By removing these stale participants, the community cleans up the user experience and maximizes funding for the remaining active projects. ## References [Discussion on public Discord server](https://discord.com/channels/1369406322155458601/1537607659187085374) [Community audit: the septet of the dao](https://vechain.discourse.group/t/vebetterdao-community-audit-the-septet-of-the-dao/691) * * * ## Community Framework Requirements **Maximum Implementation Budget:** 4000 B3TR\* **Development Timeline:** The timing of execution is determined solely by the `GOVERNANCE_ROLE` holder. \*This is a text-only proposal and does not require development from the author.
