Welcome back to AutoPGF - Funding Impact with Glo Dollar, our special podcast series exploring how Glo Dollar is funding public goods automatically, just by holding a stablecoin. It’s decentralized, donationless philanthropy, and it’s already changing how we think about impact at scale.
For episode 5 of the series, we welcome Kimberley Chang, DApp Relations Lead at VeChain, a sustainability and impact-focused blockchain ecosystem, and one of the longest-standing in the space. In this episode, we focus in on VeBetterDAO, VeChain’s ambitious initiative to grow a grassroots community of changemakers by turning everyday positive actions into tangible rewards.
We discuss:
--Key Takeaways--
🌱 From Zero-Sum to Positive-Sum Impact: VeBetterDAO flips the script on sustainability, rewarding everyday actions like eating locally, donating, or commuting green. It turns doing good from a personal cost into a collective gain, creating a win-win for people and the planet.
💚 Decentralized Rewards, Verifiable Impact: Blockchain enables anyone to earn crypto rewards for real-world good without relying on a central authority. Actions are transparent, verifiable, and accessible to all, unlocking a powerful new model for incentive-driven change.
🌐 Community Is the Glue That Makes It Stick: Earning tokens is just the beginning. VeBetterDAO is building a supportive, mission-aligned community where people feel purpose and belonging. In Web3, people may join for the rewards, but they stay for the relationships.
