VeChain Community Backs New Endorsement Cap for VeBetterDAO Growth

• VeChain is rolling out endorsement controls, letting endorsers split points across multiple VeBetterDAO dApps instead of backing only one.
• A 49-point cap per endorser per dApp starts first, placing 20+ dApps into a two-week grace period and requiring 3+ endorsers for entry.

VeChain has indicated that an update to endorsement-point allocation on VeBetterDAO is close to release and will give participants more granular control over how endorsement points are allocated. The notice was shared alongside a community update that summarized the recently approved governance proposal.

The proposal advanced through a vote involving both the wider VeBetterDAO community and the group of dApp endorsers. The update credited VeChain with designing an implementation that matches the proposal’s intent, focusing on how endorsement points are assigned and how dApps qualify for entry.

Arriving imminently – stay tuned for updates and get ready to allocate your Endorsement points with more nuanced control!

The governance package introduces two core adjustments to the endorser system. Endorsers will be able to distribute endorsement points across multiple dApps, replacing a model in which points had to be assigned as a single block. In addition, each endorser will face a 49-point maximum per dApp to limit influence concentration.

The per-dApp cap is expected to widen the support needed for VeBetterDAO entry. Under the stated threshold, at least three separate endorsers would be needed for a dApp to accumulate enough endorsement points to qualify for placement in the DAO’s ecosystem, depending on the entry requirements applied at launch.

Recently, CNF also reported that VeChain and Rekord are deploying the EU Digital Product Passport infrastructure aligned with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. EU expects a central DPP registry by July 2026, with early compliance phases in 2027.

VeChain: VeBetterDAO Grace Period as Cap Takes Effect

The implementation process will begin with the 49-point rule. After the limit is imposed, 20 existing dApps are anticipated to transition to a two-week grace period.

The change reshapes how endorsement decisions are made across the ecosystem. With the ability to split points among multiple applications, endorsers will have more options to support several projects at once. At the same time, the cap reduces the leverage of any single endorser over a project’s standing, pushing projects to expand their userbase.

Endorsers, particularly VeChainXNodes and other point holders, were urged to weigh factors such as engagement, longer-term utility for the DAO, and project transparency when allocating points. Adding more endorsed dApps will change reward distribution among projects competing for ongoing activity.
