We are thrilled to announce the release of veDelegate v2, a major upgrade designed to bring enhanced functionality and improved user experience to our staking and delegation platform. This update marks a significant milestone as we migrate from testnet to mainnet, offering our users increased stability and security!

The transition to mainnet represents a leap forward for the VeBetterDAO and therewith veDelegate, we’ve worked hard to ensure a seamless migration for all our users. This article will describe the important dates to look out for and how the migration will look like. As you have come to know and love about veDelegate, we will be making sure the migration for our users will be completed without the requirement for manual action on your side, this way you’re guaranteed to be earning voting rewards from the first mainnet round onwards!

Our team is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible, providing comprehensive support and detailed instructions throughout the migration.

We’ll walk you through the most important dates in anticipation below:

June 16

Final round on testnet ends

June 17— June 19

Final window to stake extra or unstake any VOT3 or B3TR tokens delegated to veDelegate till mainnet launch.

June 20

The veDelegate dApp will pause all deposits and withdrawals in anticipation of the snapshot. All tokens will be safe and records will be kept of the balance (including rewards) of all veDelegate users on testnet.

June 23

VeBetterDAO will snapshot the VOT3 and B3TR balance of all wallets on snapshotveDelegate will ensure this also happens for all tokens delegated to our protocol.

June 23 — June 28

The veBetterDAO will be paused in anticipation for mainnet. In the meantime, veDelegate will be preparing our improved staking mechanisms to make sure our users receive the voting rewards they deserve. A more technical article about these changes will be released soon.

June 28

The VeBetterDAO tokens will be live on mainnet! This means veDelegate will have received the balance of B3TR and VOT3 delegated to us on testnet.

June 29

All B3TR and VOT3 tokens delegated to veDelegate will be visible on our webpage again. Since VeBetterDAO will change all VOT3 and B3TR tokens on testnet to B3TR tokens on mainnet, you will no longer see any VOT3 balance, these tokens will be swapped to B3TR tokens.

July 1

A big day for the VeBetterDAO ecosystem, the first round of mainnet voting! As was the case on testnet, veDelegate will ensure your tokens are voted with, since this is the first round on mainnet, expect the biggest rewards we’ve seen to date!

We invite you to join us in this exciting new phase for veDelegate, where enhanced features and mainnet reliability come together to offer unparalleled opportunities for governance participation and reward maximization. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed guides on how to make the most of veDelegate v2.

Built on Theta 😉

The Union’s development team began working on the app six months ago, with a goal of launching by the end of the club’s 2025 season. The club anticipates an uptick in interest when the World Cup comes to the U.S. next summer, and hopes its app can help first-time soccer fans stay engaged long after the tournament ends.

The app will continue to evolve past its initial launch. Fans will be able to buy, manage, and scan tickets through the app, with more integration expected when SeatGeek takes over as the Union’s ticketing platform next season.

Additionally, the club has held discussions with its food and beverage provider, Aramark, regarding how the app can integrate with stadium concessions. The team also hopes to add in-stadium pathfinding to the app at some point in the future, which would provide users with detailed directions within Subaru Park and its surrounding lots.

The Great Onboarding: US Government Anchors Global Economy into Web3 via Pyth Network

For years, the crypto world speculated that the next major cycle would be driven by institutional adoption, with Wall Street finally legitimizing Bitcoin through vehicles like ETFs. While that prediction has indeed materialized, a recent development signifies a far more profound integration of Web3 into the global economic fabric, moving beyond mere financial products to the very infrastructure of data itself. The U.S. government has taken a monumental step, cementing Web3's role as a foundational layer for modern data distribution. This door, once opened, is poised to remain so indefinitely.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially partnered with leading blockchain oracle providers, Pyth Network and Chainlink, to distribute critical official economic data directly on-chain. This initiative marks a historic shift, bringing immutable, transparent, and auditable data from the federal government itself onto decentralized networks. This is not just a technological upgrade; it's a strategic move to enhance data accuracy, transparency, and accessibility for a global audience.

Specifically, Pyth Network has been selected to publish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, starting with quarterly releases going back five years, with plans to expand to a broader range of economic datasets. Chainlink, the other key partner, will provide data feeds from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), including Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. This crucial economic information will be made available across a multitude of blockchain networks, including major ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Base, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, Stellar, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

This development is closer to science fiction than traditional finance. The same oracle network, Pyth, that secures data for over 350 decentralized applications (dApps) across more than 50 blockchains, processing over $2.5 trillion in total trading volume through its oracles, is now the system of record for the United States' core economic indicators. Pyth's extensive infrastructure, spanning over 107 blockchains and supporting more than 600 applications, positions it as a trusted source for on-chain data. This is not about speculative assets; it's about leveraging proven, robust technology for critical public services.

The significance of this collaboration cannot be overstated. By bringing official statistics on-chain, the U.S. government is embracing cryptographic verifiability and immutable publication, setting a new precedent for how governments interact with decentralized technology. This initiative aligns with broader transparency goals and is supported by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, positioning the U.S. as a world leader in finance and blockchain innovation. The decision by a federal entity to trust decentralized oracles with sensitive economic data underscores the growing institutional confidence in these networks.

This is the cycle of the great onboarding. The distinction between "Web2" and "Web3" is rapidly becoming obsolete. When government data, institutional flows, and grassroots builders all operate on the same decentralized rails, we are simply talking about the internet—a new iteration, yes, but the internet nonetheless: an immutable internet where data is not only published but also verified and distributed in real-time.

Pyth Network stands as tangible proof that this technology serves a vital purpose. It demonstrates that the industry has moved beyond abstract "crypto tech" to offering solutions that address real-world needs and are now actively sought after and understood by traditional entities. Most importantly, it proves that Web3 is no longer seeking permission; it has received the highest validation a system can receive—the trust of governments and markets alike.

This is not merely a fleeting trend; it's a crowning moment in global adoption. The U.S. government has just validated what many in the Web3 space have been building towards for years: that Web3 is not a sideshow, but a foundational layer for the future. The current cycle will be remembered as the moment the world definitively crossed this threshold, marking the last great opportunity to truly say, "we were early."

US Dept of Commerce to publish GDP data on blockchain

On Tuesday during a televised White House cabinet meeting, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the intention to publish GDP statistics on blockchains. Today Chainlink and Pyth said they were selected as the decentralized oracles to distribute the data.

Lutnick said, “The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain because you are the crypto President. And we are going to put out GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain for data distribution. And then we’re going to make that available to the entire government. So, all of you can do it. We’re just ironing out all the details.”

The data includes Real GDP and the PCE Price Index, which reflects changes in the prices of domestic consumer goods and services. The statistics are released monthly and quarterly. The biggest initial use will likely be by on-chain prediction markets. But as more data comes online, such as broader inflation data or interest rates from the Federal Reserve, it could be used to automate various financial instruments. Apart from using the data in smart contracts, sources of tamperproof data 👉will become increasingly important for generative AI.

While it would be possible to procure the data from third parties, it is always ideal to get it from the source to ensure its accuracy. Getting data directly from government sources makes it tamperproof, provided the original data feed has not been manipulated before it reaches the oracle.

Note that in case of issues, usually only queries relating to official wallets can be answered in Cardano groups across telegram/forum. You may need to consult with specific wallet support teams for third party wallets.

Tips

  • Its is important to ensure that you're in sole control of your wallet keys, and that the keys used can be restored via alternate wallet providers if a particular one is non-functional. Hence, put extra attention to Non-Custodial and Compatibility fields.
  • The score column below is strictly a count of checks against each feature listed, the impact of specific feature (and thus, score) is up to reader's descretion.
  • The table represents current state on mainnet network, any future roadmap activities are out-of-scope.
  • Info on individual fields can be found towards the end of the page.
  • Any field that shows partial support (eg: open-source field) does not score the point for that field.

Brief info on fields above

  • Non-Custodial: are wallets where payment as well as stake keys are not shared/reused by wallet provider, and funds can be transparently verified on explorer
  • Compatibility: If the wallet mnemonics/keys can easily (for non-technical user) be used outside of specific wallet provider in major other wallets
  • Stake Control: Freedom to elect stake pool for user to delegate to (in user-friendly way)
  • Transparent Support: Easy approachability of a public interactive - eg: discord/telegram - group (with non-anonymous users) who can help out with support. Twitter/Email supports do not count for a check
  • Voting: Ability to participate in Catalyst voting process
  • Hardware Wallet: Integration with atleast Ledger Nano device
  • Native Assets: Ability to view native assets that belong to wallet
  • dApp Integration: Ability to interact with dApps
  • Stability: represents whether there have been large number of users reporting missing tokens/balance due to wallet backend being out of sync
  • Testnets Support: Ability to easily (for end-user) open wallets in atleast one of the cardano testnet networks
  • Custom Backend Support: Ability to elect a custom backend URL for selecting alternate way to submit transactions transactions created on client machines
  • Single/Multi Address Mode: Ability to use/import Single as well as Multiple Address modes for a wallet
  • Mobile App: Availability on atleast one of the popular mobile platforms
  • Desktop (app,extension,web): Ways to open wallet app on desktop PCs
  • Open Source: Whether the complete wallet (all components) are open source and can be run independently.
