In a recent post on X, VeChain announced that VeBetterDAO has reached a significant milestone just nine weeks after its mainnet launch.

The ecosystem has been adopted at a very fast rate, and people have been using it actively, which shows that this ecosystem is still growing and might grow even more.

VeChain Addresses Quadratic Voting Vulnerabilities

This spike in activity could be attributed to Sunny Lu, the founder and CEO of VeChain, ‘s recent statement suggesting the halting of its Quadratic Voting (QV) and Quadratic Funding features. The decision comes after evaluating how Sybil’s attacks have affected the functioning of QV in VeBetterDAO.

In the QV system, more than one vote can be placed by a voter, and each subsequent vote costs more. This structure aims to capture the strength of voters’ preferences and come up with a better outcome than the current systems. However, one major vulnerability of QV that has raised concern, especially for DAOs that have adopted this system, is the Sybil attacks, which are instances where attackers create multiple identities in order to control votes.

The proposal also outlines the importance of responding to the vulnerabilities that have been exposed by these attacks. Sybil’s attacks endanger the validity of VeBetterDAO’s governance processes and may result in distorted decisions that are not reflective of the community’s wishes. VeChain is seeking to avoid further abuse by suspending QV and ensuring the DAO’s stability. The community has responded positively to the proposal, with over 75% of the 11.33 million $VOT3 tokens voting in favor of temporarily halting QV.

Due to the recent market trends, analysts have suggested that if Bitcoin keeps on rising, VET is likely to experience further appreciation. The long-awaited altseason, fueled by the growth of Bitcoin dominance, may result in a large flow of funds from Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies, including VeChain. VET’s price might revisit its previous all-time high as the 2024-2025 bull cycle nears its pinnacle, with the potential of a parabolic surge due to price discovery.
