Endorsement Guide for VeChain Node Holders

As a VeChain node holder within the VeBetter DAO ecosystem, you play a vital role in selecting and supporting new XApps. Your endorsement not only enables promising applications to join the ecosystem but also allows you to influence the distribution of B3TR tokens through weekly allocation rounds. This guide will help you understand how endorsement works, the influence of your node type, and how you can manage endorsements effectively.

What is an Endorsement?

Endorsement is the process by which VeChain node holders support XApps (applications within the VeBetter DAO ecosystem) for inclusion and funding eligibility. Each node holder can endorse one XApp at a time, and each endorsement carries a score based on the type of node held. Once an XApp accumulates enough endorsement points, it qualifies to join the VeBetter DAO ecosystem and participate in weekly allocation rounds for B3TR tokens.

Endorsement Scores by Node Type

The influence of your endorsement depends on the type of VeChain node you hold. Each node type has a unique endorsement score, which contributes to an XApp’s cumulative endorsement score. Here is a breakdown of endorsement scores by node type:

VeChain Node Type

Endorsement Score

Strength

2

Thunder

13

Mjolnir

50

VeThorX

3

StrengthX

9

ThunderX

35

MjolnirX

100

Note: These scores determine the weight of your endorsement. For example, a MjolnirX node endorsement contributes 100 points towards an XApp’s endorsement total, while a Strength node contributes 2 points.

How Endorsement Works

  1. Choose an XApp: Review the list of submitted XApps within the VeBetter DAO platform. These XApps are seeking endorsements to qualify for entry into the ecosystem.

  2. Endorse with Your Node: Select one XApp to endorse. Your endorsement adds the score of your node to the XApp’s cumulative endorsement score.

  3. Qualification for Allocation Rounds: Once an XApp reaches a cumulative endorsement score of 100, it qualifies to join the VeBetter DAO ecosystem and participate in weekly allocation rounds. This threshold ensures that only well-supported XApps gain access to ecosystem resources.

  4. Weekly Allocation Rounds: Endorsed XApps can participate in weekly allocation rounds, where they compete to receive B3TR tokens based on community voting. As an endorser, your influence supports the XApp’s eligibility for these rewards.

  5. Flexibility in Endorsement: You have the flexibility to remove your endorsement at any time if you are no longer satisfied with the XApp you’re supporting. Once you withdraw your endorsement, you can endorse another XApp of your choice.

Managing Your Endorsements

Using the VeBetter DAO’s UI, you can easily manage your endorsements:

  • View Current Endorsements: Check which XApp you are currently endorsing and its current endorsement score.

  • Switch Endorsements: If you wish to change your endorsement, you can do so through the UI. Simply withdraw your current endorsement and select a new XApp to support.

  • Monitor XApp Progress: Track the cumulative endorsement scores of different XApps to see how close they are to reaching the 100-point threshold.

Key Points to Remember

  • Single Endorsement Limit: Each node can endorse only one XApp at a time. If you wish to support another XApp, you must first remove your current endorsement.

  • Influence of Node Type: The endorsement score of your node directly impacts the XApp’s ability to qualify for the ecosystem. Higher-level nodes like MjolnirX provide more influence.

  • Endorsement Lock: Once an XApp reaches the 100-point threshold and joins the ecosystem, it cannot
