- VeChain and 4ocean launch a global cleanup platform using blockchain to verify and reward local environmental action.
- VeBetter ecosystem reaches 43 million actions, converting everyday behavior into measurable, incentivized sustainability.
VeChain has partnered with 4ocean to connect global ocean cleanup efforts to blockchain rewards through the VeBetter-powered Cleanify platform. The partnership allows users to record cleanups worldwide, confirm their impact, and tokenize rewards for every activity.
4ocean has built one of the world’s most recognizable ocean cleanup communities, removing over 40 million pounds of plastic waste to date. Incorporating VeChain’s blockchain infrastructure, the initiative now moves to a new step in which cleanup operations are stored on-chain and converted into proof-based sustainability indicators.

Users can join the official 4ocean community on Cleanify, participate in cleanups across various environments, and earn exclusive 4ocean bracelets and VeBetter tokens. The experience is unified across devices and locations, giving volunteers a way to track progress while contributing to a transparent, global record of environmental action.
VeChain and 4ocean’s Onchain Ocean Cleanup
The uniqueness of this partnership is in the ability to gamify the real-life impact and deliver data that is verified by a blockchain. Every cleanup is recorded as a VeChainThor record, which enables data users to transform environmental activities into a quantifiable footprint. This brings transparency and long-term involvement as the user is able to view the immediate outcome of their contributions.
Cleanify is part of the wider VeBetter ecosystem, which is VeChain’s platform of over 50 decentralized applications that reward positive behavior in areas like sustainability, health, and digital wellness. According to CNF, the ecosystem has recorded a total of more than 43 million logged actions, diverted 350,000 kg of plastic, saved 8 million kWh of energy, and conserved 90 million liters of water.
The Cleanify experience aligns with other VeBetter apps like MugShot, GreenCart, and BYB, which track and reward behavior ranging from reusable cup usage to fitness milestones. This approach combines everyday actions with an incentive model that is easy to access and repeat. This is all integrated into VeWorld, VeChain’s unified Web3 app and wallet.
This model also aligns with the VeFounder program. As we reported, VeFounder allows independent operators to manage dApps such as Cleanify, which increases their decentralization and empowers communities to drive their own sustainability campaigns.
The VET price has experienced bearish movement, recording a 4% decrease in the past 7 days. At press time, VET was trading at $0.01014, a 1.34% decline in the past day.
According to one analyst, VET has been on a descending channel on the weekly chart, which, historically, precedes a price rise. He projects the token to hit $0.17 in the short term.
