VeChain Introduces ReCircleRewards to Verify and Reward Real-World Mobility

• ReCircleRewards verifies mobility activity using receipt OCR normalization, duplicate checks and cross-field validation across providers.
• VeChain anchors verified actions and reward records on-chain, so distribution stays transparent, tamper-resistant, and auditable for partners.

VeChain Builders announced ReCircleRewards to focus on verifying everyday mobility and linking it to a reward system. The update points to common travel modes, including public transit, rideshare, EV rentals, and micromobility.

ReCircleRewards uses a verification-first approach based on transportation receipts. The system accepts receipts in several formats, including screenshots, PDFs, and email confirmations. This receipt-driven method will make mobility activity measurable using real records.

Introducing @RecircleRewards

Millions of people already use public transit, rideshare, EV rentals, and micromobility every day but get zero recognition for it.

VeChain Builders said building trust was the central challenge during development. Receipt formats vary by provider and region, and so the same trip details may appear under different labels or in different parts of the document. It also notes that submissions can arrive as images, PDFs, or email confirmations, which adds complexity when verifying activity at scale.

Most recently, VeChain powered Decent’s platform by integrating VeChain ToolChain to anchor workplace compliance and safety records on VeChainThor. As we reported, the setup supports audit trails for tasks such as safety inspections, equipment checks, facility rounds, and compliance reporting.

ReCircleRewards’ On-Chain Reward Records

To handle variation, the team built an OCR normalization process to transform the receipt content into a standard format, with duplicate detection as part of the workflow. This guarantees that users do not submit the same trip multiple times.

In addition, the system uses cross-field validation. That method checks that key receipt fields agree with each other, based on the details shared by VeChain Builders.

Reward distribution is anchored on-chain, with reward records stored in a tamper-resistant format. VeChain Builders said the distribution logic remains auditable through this setup. Also, users do not need to manage blockchain complexity while using the program. The system is structured so the technical elements stay behind the interface.

VeChain Builders shared a roadmap for what comes next. The priority is to expand the list of supported transit providers to allow more users to submit eligible receipts across more services and improve receipt classification accuracy. This enables better sorting and reading of different receipt types as new providers are added.

ReCircleRewards is built to track commuting patterns over longer periods using verified mobility records. The team is also exploring partnerships with mobility platforms and city programs to support a system that can measure, verify, and reward sustainable travel at scale.

Previously, CNF outlined that VeChain and Rekord are deploying the EU Digital Product Passport. The report said the EU expects a central DPP registry by July 2026, ahead of early compliance phases in 2027.
