Greencart, a receipt-scanning app built on VeChain’s VeBetter platform, has crossed one million users and one million AI-verified receipt submissions, distributing more than $1.2 million in B3TR tokens as of March 2026. VET was trading at $0.007249 — up 2.71% over 24 hours — with a $623 million market cap at the time of the announcement.
How It Works
Users upload grocery receipts through the standalone Greencart app or VeWorld, VeChain’s native wallet. AI validators verify the purchase, then award B3TR tokens for eligible actions. Since April 2025, digital receipts can be pulled automatically from email, removing the manual photo step.
Sustainable purchases earn the most: organic and vegan products, surplus food rescue, and partner store purchases — which receive automatic cashback without any manual submission. Certain product categories carry additional B3TR bonuses.
Earned B3TR can be held, traded, or converted into VOT3 for governance voting across VeBetter. What makes this viable at scale is VeChainThor’s dual-token structure: VET moves value, VTHO covers fees at a fixed cost. Recording a $4 grocery receipt on-chain costs less than doing it through conventional infrastructure — and the record is permanent.
Governance Layer
B3TR converted to VOT3 grants voting rights in X Allocation rounds, which determine how B3TR emissions are distributed across VeBetter’s sustainability apps. Greencart users can vote to direct more rewards toward the app — or toward others on the platform.
A recently added relayer feature automates voting and reward claims gas-free, with relayer nodes executing on behalf of eligible users so they don’t miss allocation rounds.

VeChain’s Broader Push
Greencart’s one million users account for roughly 19% of VeBetter’s 5.3 million total user base since the platform’s 2024 mainnet launch. The network is also expanding on the enterprise side: its recent integration with Decent records workplace safety inspections, audits, corrective actions, and certifications on VeChainThor in a tamper-proof system — a different use case on the same infrastructure.
VeChain completed its Hayabusa upgrade in December 2025, transitioning to full Delegated Proof-of-Stake. Boston Consulting Group has labeled the network’s model a “Decentralized Behavioral Action Network” — individually minor actions aggregating into verifiable collective impact. One million sustainable purchase records on a public ledger is the kind of ESG dataset traditional reporting methods have struggled to produce. Whether enterprises act on it remains to be seen.
Greencart has a B3TR debit card — launched in April 2025 — that pays cashback on everyday spending, making earned tokens directly usable. The next X Allocation round will test whether the platform’s user base converts into governance influence, and whether that loop attracts more participants. The model is built. The users are there. Execution is what’s left.
