In a groundbreaking move for blockchain and sustainability, UFC, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization, has deepened its global partnership with VeChain to advance the VeBetter DAO ecosystem. As we get closer to be listed on VeChains VeBetter DAO, SolarWise is excited to play an active role in this initiative, which aligns perfectly with our mission to leverage blockchain technology to drive real-world sustainable impact.
A Brief History of UFC
Founded in 1993, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has grown into a global sports powerhouse, revolutionizing the world of mixed martial arts (MMA). With top athletes such as Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, and Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC has amassed millions of fans worldwide, making it one of the most influential names in sports. Known for its innovative approach to MMA and business, UFC is now bringing its platform to the world of blockchain and sustainability by partnering with VeChain and VeBetter DAO.
What is VeBetterDAO?
VeBetterDAO is a blockchain-based platform that allows individuals, NGOs, and enterprises to tokenize their sustainable actions, transforming them into digital assets recorded on VeChain’s public blockchain. The ecosystem operates entirely on decentralized applications (dApps), incentivizing eco-friendly behaviors by rewarding users with B3TR tokens on a weekly basis. VeBetterDAO fosters collective governance, ensuring the community holds full control over the platform’s direction.
For SolarWise, this integration means SolarNFT holders can earn B3TR tokens while supporting renewable energy through solar power generation. As part of the broader UFC and VeChain partnership, this initiative will help raise awareness for sustainable blockchain solutions on a global scale.
SolarWise on the VeBetterDAO Testnet
SolarWise, backed by the VeChain Grant, is currently operating on the VeChain testnet as we prepare for our first SolarNFT mint on VeChains Marketplace-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform. This will pave the way for our official listing on the VeBetterDAO mainnet, where users can mint and trade SolarNFTs that represent actual solar panels generating renewable energy. Our testnet NFT mint was a huge success, with 3,200 individual users minting NFTs within just 48 hours!
Our platform uses VeChain’s $VET as the primary token for transactions, further integrating $VET into the SolarWise ecosystem. This synergy between blockchain and renewable energy represents a powerful step toward a more sustainable future.
Tokenizing Sustainable Assets and Actions
The core of VeBetterDAO’s mission is to tokenize sustainable actions, enabling users to earn B3TR tokens for eco-friendly behaviors such as recycling or supporting renewable energy initiatives. By recording these actions on VeChain’s blockchain, the platform fosters transparency and accountability while driving real-world impact.
For SolarWise, tokenizing solar energy production offers users the chance to contribute to renewable energy adoption while earning rewards. By staking SolarNFTs, users can participate in solar energy generation, receiving monthly payouts based on their panels’ energy output. This model combines sustainability with tangible rewards, making it easy and rewarding to support green energy.
VeBetterDAO at HIVE 2024: A Gathering of Sustainable Innovators
Earlier this year, VeBetterDAO projects, including The SolarWise Own The Sun AG, were represented at the HIVE event in San Francisco, a major gathering of innovators in blockchain and sustainability. The event brought together leaders from across the VeBetter ecosystem to showcase the potential of blockchain technology in driving sustainable impact.
Ronnie and I were honored to represent The SolarWise OTS at this pivotal event, engaging with other VeBetterDAO projects and the broader blockchain community. The energy at HIVE was inspiring, with so many like-minded individuals committed to using technology to foster real-world change. It was an incredible opportunity to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the power of collective action.
We’re excited to continue working alongside these amazing projects and look forward to seeing what we can achieve together on the VeBetterDAO platform.

These projects illustrate the broad potential of the VeBetterDAO platform to drive sustainability across industries and everyday activities. By tokenizing actions that promote environmental well-being, VeBetterDAO is creating a future where eco-friendly behavior is rewarded at a global scale.
UFC’s Role in Driving Awareness and Adoption
The collaboration between UFC, VeChain, and VeBetterDAO is a pivotal moment in raising awareness for blockchain-powered sustainability. With UFC’s global reach and massive fanbase, this partnership brings unprecedented visibility to the power of blockchain in driving environmental change.
For SolarWise, this is an opportunity to demonstrate how renewable energy and blockchain can work together to shape a more sustainable world. UFC fans can participate in the SolarWise ecosystem by owning SolarNFTs, helping to fund solar energy projects while earning rewards in the form of B3TR tokens.
Looking Ahead: SolarWise and VeBetter DAO
As SolarWise prepares for its mainnet launch, we are excited to continue driving adoption within the VeBetterDAO ecosystem. Our SolarNFTs represent a unique opportunity for users to own a piece of the future of renewable energy, while being rewarded for their commitment to sustainability.
The partnership between UFC, VeChain, and VeBetterDAO marks a monumental step toward reshaping how blockchain can support sustainability. Together with UFC’s support and VeChain’s technology, SolarWise is at the forefront of driving positive environmental change through innovation.
Stay tuned for updates as we transition from the testnet to the VeBetterDAO mainnet, and join us on this journey to Own The Sun and help build a greener future for all.
