Crypto Altruists Episode 193 - Vechain - From Greenwashing to Proof: Tokenizing ESG and Real-World Impact with Blockchain
In episode 193, we welcome Sunny Lu, Founder of Vechain, a pioneering sustainability focused blockchain ecosystem. We dive into the origin story of Vechain, how Web3 can tackle greenwashing & restore trust in ESG initiatives, how VeBetterDAO is empowering both businesses and individuals to take climate action, and lessons from Sunny’s experience building a multi-billion-dollar crypto community.
Crypto, blockchain, and the environment: the other side
In the introduction to this series, we highlighted three potential use cases for blockchain and cryptocurrency in the fight against climate change.
VeChain launches Digital Carbon Footprint SaaS platform

Web3 - A Disruptive Tool For Social Impact
Cryptocurrency is more than just an investment. Cryptocurrency, blockchain, and web3 are generational technologies that have the potential to change the world for the better. These ground-breaking technologies will positively disrupt nearly all aspects of our lives in the coming decades: the internet, our financial systems, supply chains, health care, and everything in between. From a social impact lens, blockchain is the single greatest development since the internet.
It has the potential to revolutionize the way aid is disbursed, how funds are raised by non-profits and charitable causes, how communities and collectives organize and engage in self-governance, how CO2 is tracked and managed, how important financial services are delivered to the nearly 2 billion unbanked people around the world, and much more. We are only just scratching the surface of the intersections between web3 and social good.
Crypto Altruism is the leading platform for content highlighting the social impact use cases of web3 and the extraordinary organizations and projects that are using this technology to change the world. Through our blog, podcast, and educational resources, we elevate stories of how crypto, blockchain, NFTs, DAOs, and other web3 innovations are being used all over the world for novel and inspiring use cases.
