- Green Commuter has announced the commencement of a bug bounty program pending the official launch of its fitness app on VeBetterDAO.
- Participants are required to be the first to report a bug, and each confirmed bug would warrant a reward of 300 B3TR.
On August 4, Green Commuter disclosed that it is working on a Decentralized Application (dApp) to reward people who sustainably commute with the Strava App. According to the announcement, users would simply have to record a run, walk, and cycle to a favorite location to be rewarded.
On August 28, Green Commuter announced that it had submitted the app to Strava for approval. A few days after this disclosure, the platform unveiled its bug bounty and testing period, where users would be paid to provide valuable feedback on its much-anticipated testnet app.
According to the campaign announced on X, the bounty period will run from September 6 to September 20. During this period, users will be paid 300 B3TR for every confirmed bug found. However, a user must be the first to discover and report such a bug through email. Currently, the B3TR/WBNB pair is trading at $0.002625.
Steps to Report Bug to Green Commuter
According to Green Commuter, confirmed bugs should be emailed to [email protected]. However, the email must include screenshots or a recorded video of the bug. It must also include a good description of the steps to reproduce and a link to the user’s Strava profile. Most importantly, users are required to include their VeWorld wallet address.
According to its roadmap shared on August 6, Green Commuter disclosed that the third quarter of 2024 (Q3 2024) would witness three major updates – development and testing, app for approval from Strava, and Testnet version. In the fourth quarter, it would comprehensively engage in production environment and testing. After this, there would be app approval from VeBetterDAO before the much-anticipated launch.
For context, Strava is an American Internet service for tracking physical exercises that has also integrated social network features. Recently, it was disclosed that bike commutes saved almost 53 million kg of carbon dioxide across the UK. According to Tom Knights from Strava Metro, Strava prioritizes environmental sustainability, hence the introduction of the Carbon Savings Tool.
Strava’s Carbon Savings Tool helps to show our global community the real-world impact of their activities when they tag their trip as a commute. In turn, this helps our Strava Metro team to work with cities and urban planners around the world to secure investment for active transportation that makes everyday bicycle trips and commutes safer and more accessible.

Coming soon to https://t.co/PaotvzaNgZ$VET https://t.co/cz8W2QsSF9— VeChain (@vechainofficial) September 5, 2024
VeChain’s VeBetterDAO, which would soon support the Green Commuter’s app, is a community-driven platform that incentivizes sustainable actions via utility token B3TR, as we formerly reported. DApps built on the platform reportedly align with VeChain’s sustainability values. These DApps are required to incentivize their users to engage in sustainable actions, adopt healthier habits, and reduce carbon footprints.
After joining the ecosystem, they are allocated a portion of B3 tokens for funding. Another portion of the B3 allocation would go into a dedicated pool.
dApp creators have to share updates regularly about the app’s progress to keep their users up-to-date. People can participate in a bi-weekly allocation proposal to decide how much B3 is allocated to the dApps they like. If the dApp is not reporting regularly, acting maliciously, or even being suspected of greenwashing, people can vote to kick the dApp out of the ecosystem.
