Mobility rewards app Evearn, running on VeChain, has partnered with connected-vehicle platform Smartcar to reward electric and hybrid drivers with B3TR tokens. The integration relies on vehicle information to measure carbon dioxide savings on journeys made in eligible EV and hybrid vehicles. The program is provided to qualified drivers in Europe and North America and has more than 30 vehicle brands.
Evearn runs on VeChain’s VeBetter ecosystem, where on-chain logic is used to verify eligible actions and distribute rewards. Smartcar provides the connection layer that lets users link a supported vehicle through a consent-based login, without installing extra hardware.
Users authorize access through Smartcar Connect and can revoke permissions through the same account controls. Once connected, Evearn can access selected driving signals needed for rewards, using standardized vehicle data access.
In the combined setup, Evearn uses odometer readings to estimate the distance driven and compares it against a fuel-vehicle baseline to calculate the avoided emissions for each trip. The blockchain records the reward calculation and allocation process so users can track earned tokens and the associated proof records.
Earlier this year, we covered VeChain’s plans to link everyday driving with on-chain rewards through Evearn.
Smartcar acts as the data bridge inside the Evearn app, enabling secure access to approved vehicle information under user-controlled permissions. Evearn states it focuses on odometer data rather than sensitive personal details, aiming to keep user information protected while still supporting verification.
Smartcar connects apps to multiple automakers through a single interface. After Evearn receives verified driving data, it determines whether a trip qualifies and calculates the corresponding reward amount. VeChain infrastructure is then used to bring the reward on-chain, so the token allocation and related records can be validated. Within the VeBetter model, users can hold, view, and manage earned B3TR tokens alongside other ecosystem activity.
Evearn is listed on VeBetter, a platform that distributes B3TR rewards for verified actions and operates under a DAO governance model.
This week, CNF reported that VeChain launched the VeFounder program to let community builders take over and run pre-built VeBetter apps on VeChainThor under VeBetter’s DAO governance. It selected VirtualFlame and Nestor as the first VeFounders.
The VET token price was reported at $0.01046 with a market cap of $899 million, and a 24-hour trading volume of $27.56 million at the time of writing.
