Imagine your daily coffee break making you money and saving the planet… what a dream!
Enter Mugshot, an exciting decentralized application (dApp) on VeBetter designed to reward you for sustainably enjoying coffee and tea. Just grab your reusable mug, snap a quick photo, and voilà – you’ve just earned crypto rewards.
It’s fun, it’s easy, it’s putting money into your pocket, and it’s making a difference.
What’s the Idea Behind Mugshot?
Before you start imagining police records or unflattering photos, let’s clear up any potential confusion. The Mugshot we’re talking about is not some grim image of law enforcement records. Instead, it’s a playful name for an innovative mobile application within the VeBetter dApps ecosystem.
Mugshot is all about celebrating and incentivizing sustainable coffee and tea practices.
Here’s how it works:
When you enjoy your coffee or tea using a reusable mug instead of a disposable one, you simply snap a photo of your mug through the app. This quick “mugshot” is then verified, and you receive rewards in the form of B3TR tokens (VeBetter’s incentive token). The process is simple and straightforward, and most importantly, it rewards you for taking an eco-friendly action.
With Mugshot, sustainability meets everyday life in the best way possible. It perfectly blends your love of coffee/tea, your passion for a greener planet, and your desire to make money.
That’s a win-win-win!

Mugshot Is a Game Changer for Crypto
You might be wondering, “Why should I care about using a reusable mug?” Well, there are a few reasons…
Firstly, it earns you crypto. Creating a financial incentive is the real reason anyone doesanything, right?! With Mugshot, you’ll earn B3TR tokens (the cryptocurrency of VeChain’s VeBetter ecosystem).
Secondly, you get to help the planet. Every reusable mug means less waste. And by creating an incentive for you to use a reusable mug, Mugshot creates an environment where less and less waste occurs.
And finally, it’s easy and fun. Literally all you do is open up an app on your phone, take a picture of something you’re already doing every day, and then get paid. Anyone with a smartphone and a reusable mug can do it!
The B3TR Token: Your Crypto Reward for Going Green
Let’s talk about cryptocurrency for a second. But before your eyes glaze over from all the technical crypto talk, we’re going to keep it super simple… B3TR is the fuel that powers the VeBetter ecosystem, which runs on VeChain.
This is the “incentive token” of the VeBetter ecosystem. It’s designed to reward your eco-friendly choices and keep the community engaged in performing sustainable actions. So with every Mugshot you submit, your crypto wallet gets a little boost in B3TR tokens.
It’s that simple – you sip sustainably and earn rewards. And the more you earn, the more you can use. It’s real money!
You can see how much B3TR you have in your VeWorld wallet, which you can then transfer for other crypto tokens via a crypto exchange.
Inside VeWorld, you can also turn your B3TR tokens into VOT3 tokens and vote for your favorite VeBetter apps to receive more B3TR rewards – so if lots of people vote for Mugshot, you’ll get more B3TR every time you take pictures of your reusable mugs.
Soon, you’ll even be able to spend your B3TR tokens directly with a debit card. Stay tuned for that!
How Mugshot Fits in the VeBetter Ecosystem
To truly understand why Mugshot is such a big deal, you only have to look at the VeBetter ecosystem.
VeBetter is an initiative powered by VeChain, one of the largest and most established blockchain platforms in the world.
But VeBetter isn’t just about blockchain technology; it’s about global transformation.
Seeing the VeBetter Ecosystem in Action
When you take a positive, verifiable action – like using a reusable mug through Mugshot – you earn B3TR tokens, the reward currency of the VeBetter ecosystem. These tokens aren’t just for show; they’re valuable assets you can hold, spend, or convert.
One of the most powerful things you can do with B3TR is convert it into VOT3 tokens, which give you a direct say in how the VeBetter ecosystem evolves. With VOT3, you get to vote on which dApps and sustainable actions should receive more support and rewards going forward.
Then, the more dApps you use, the more B3TR you earn, the more VOT3 you get to vote for your favorite dApps, and the more B3TR you get rewarded for using those dApps.
All of this happens within a growing network of decentralized applications built on VeChain, like Mugshot, with each one focused on encouraging a different form of conscious behavior.
The idea behind VeBetter is elegantly simple:
Create a decentralized, community-governed incentive system that rewards people who are doing good in the world.
And this isn’t just some theoretical concept – it’s already happening. People all over the world are earning, voting, and building toward a more sustainable planet right now with VeBetter.
A Gateway to Everyday Sustainability
Among the growing collection of VeBetter dApps, Mugshot is one of the most accessible and most immediate ways for people to jump in.
Think about it: You already drink coffee or tea. You already have (or could easily get) a reusable mug. With Mugshot, you're instantly participating in a global movement to reduce waste ANDyou're getting paid for it.
But it goes deeper than just coffee.
Because Mugshot is part of a larger framework, every Mugshot you take contributes to a data-driven picture of community action. That information can be used to:
Highlight sustainability leaders
Inform companies and cities of eco-friendly trends
Empower local initiatives
Provide proof-of-impact for larger environmental efforts
In short, Mugshot is a fun, micro-level action that plugs into a macro-level mission.
And with dApps that reward you for sustainable grocery purchases, cleaning up your local community, listening to audiobooks, and so much more, VeBetter’s ecosystem will massively transform the way we all engage with the world.
Final Sip: Why Mugshot (and VeBetter) Matters
Let’s be real, climate change isn’t going to fix itself. And asking people to “do better” without giving them anything to “do” or any incentive to do it rarely works.
That’s what makes apps like Mugshot so powerful. They bake the incentive into the process. They turn sustainability into something that’s not just ethical, but also fun, rewarding, and personal.
So whether you’re just curious about the possibilities of earning crypto rewards or you’re ready to join a community of like-minded sustainability champions, the time to act is now.
Grab your reusable mug, open up Mugshot, and take action… one cup at a time.
Join the movement. Sip sustainably. Earn better.
