Our verdict on veDelegate

6.5/10

veDelegate suits existing B3TR or VET holders who want VeBetterDAO voting rewards without voting every week. Its strength is automation of voting, claiming and re-staking, backed by listed audits. The main caveat is that fees are not published publicly, the TVL is small, and it depends on a single ecosystem. Read the audits and fee terms first, and stake only what you can afford to have exposed to smart-contract risk.

What is veDelegate?

veDelegate is a DeFi application in the VeChain B3TR ecosystem. According to DefiLlama, it is meant to simplify and optimise governance participation by letting users stake tokens to earn voting rewards without voting manually each week.

It appears to have been listed on DefiLlama since August 2025, with about $767,000 in TVL on VeChain at the time of the data. Public reporting shows earlier coverage from January and February 2025, including a note about an upgrade for VET stakers, and mention audits by Hacken.

The project has no token of its own. It is a niche tool for people who already hold B3TR or VET and want to take part in VeBetterDAO governance without the weekly routine.

How veDelegate works

The VeBetterDAO ecosystem on VeChain rewards token holders who take part in weekly governance voting on B3TR. Voting by hand every week takes effort and is easy to miss.

veDelegate acts as a delegation layer. Users stake tokens through it, and the service votes on their behalf, claims the resulting rewards and re-stakes them. A search snippet describes it as automating staking and governance, handling voting, claiming and re-staking to maximise user returns.

This means users hand some operational control to the protocol's smart contracts and rely on them working as intended. The project does not give contract-level detail, so readers should check the documentation and audits.

5 features

Key features

Automated weekly voting

Users stake tokens and the service handles weekly voting in the VeBetterDAO system, so they do not have to vote manually.

Claiming and re-staking

The service claims rewards and re-stakes them, aiming to compound the yield that voting generates.

B3TR ecosystem focus

It is built specifically for the VeChain B3TR and VeBetterDAO ecosystem, with support for staking B3TR and VET.

Recovery tool for pools

A GitHub project lets users connect with VeChain Kit, scan owned veDelegate pools and recover VET, ERC20 balances, VOT3 conversion output, GM NFTs and ended locked-term funds.

Listed security audits

DefiLlama lists two audits, and a search result points to audits by Hacken published in March 2025.

Pros and cons

What we like

Removes the need to vote manually every week in the VeBetterDAO ecosystem.
Automates claiming and re-staking of rewards.
DefiLlama lists two audits, and a Hacken audit is referenced in public reporting.
No additional token to buy, so exposure is limited to the staked assets.
A public recovery tool exists for scanning pools and retrieving funds.

Watch out for

Fee structure is not published, so the cost of delegation is unclear.
Tied to a single ecosystem (VeChain B3TR and VeBetterDAO), so its usefulness depends on that ecosystem's health.
TVL is small, at about $767,000, and fell 8.2% over seven days.
A recovery tool exists for scanning owned veDelegate pools, which suggests users may sometimes need to retrieve funds outside the main app.
No token of its own is listed, so there is no governance or fee-sharing token to evaluate.
Audit details beyond a Hacken mention and a count of two listings are not available here.

veDelegate fees

The project does not publish a fee schedule for veDelegate. It is unclear whether the service takes a share of voting rewards or charges any other commission.

Users would normally see any fees in the app before staking, and should also expect ordinary VeChain network transaction costs when they stake or withdraw. Check the official site for current terms.

Is veDelegate safe?

DefiLlama lists two audits for veDelegate, and a search result refers to audits by Hacken dated March 2025. The audit reports themselves were not part of public sources, so scope and findings cannot be assessed here. Staking through a smart contract still carries contract risk, and users depend on the service to vote and claim correctly.

The existence of a recovery tool for scanning owned pools and retrieving VET, ERC20 balances, VOT3 conversion output, GM NFTs and ended locked-term funds suggests users may want a fallback route to their assets. No hacks or incidents appear. TVL is modest, so liquidity and community scale are limited.
