The Protocol for Everyone

Verus is uniquely positioned to empower individuals, communities and developers around the world, sustainably.

A credibly neutral protocol for the world — made by the worldwide community.

Just like Bitcoin,every coin in circulation is fairly mined (and staked). A quality to care deeply about. Here's why. Unlike other projects, Verus hadno premine or ICO; funding which often goes into the pockets of a few, or can be dumped on the market at will. No venture capitalists or other obscured and parasitic entities dictate project direction.

Who determines the direction of Verus you might ask yourself? You are.You are the community.Verus is uniquely positioned as a network for the public, made by the public.And nothing ever changes that.

100%fairly mined & staked

Verus has the same simple coinomics as Bitcoin.All coins in existence are fairly mined (and staked in the case of Verus).This is an absolute prerequisite for being credibly neutral public infrastructure.

Next to coinbase rewards,miners and stakers earn from fees paid to the protocol.Fees include: token, basket currency (e.g. liquidity pools) and blockchain launches, VerusID registrations, DeFi conversions and transaction fees.

A multi-chain protocol designed to scale for world demand.

The network of blockchains isunlimitedly scalableand ready for world demand. Rent-free PBaaS-blockchains are launched from the Verus blockchain and maintained bythe worldwide network of miners and stakers.

PBaaS-blockchains inheritall featuresfrom the Verus mainchain. Including native DeFi, native privacy, VerusID support, currency & token launches, decentralized marketplace and seamless connectivity between blockchains.

Merge-mining.

Miners can merge-mine up to 22 blockchains on the multi-chain network at once with no loss of performance, and can stake on any number of chains. The whole network shares mining power, increasing the total strength of the network.

Scaling out.

To scale for world demand the system needs to scale out. Many use transactions per second as a scaling indicator, yet that is just performance. Verus can scale to world demand by launching an unlimited number of interconnected blockchains.

Fractal by design.

The Verus Protocol will become fractal in the near future. Meaning that PBaaS-chains can be launched from other PBaaS-chains. Right now, PBaaS-chains can only be launched from the Verus blockchain.

Decentralized, secure & 51% hash attack resistant consensus mechanism.

x Verus Proof of Poweris the consensus mechanism that protects the Verus blockchain and its multi-chain network (all PBaaS-chains). It’s a hybrid of50% proof-of-workand50% proof-of-stake.Staking and mining are so low barrier that it’s one of the most decentralized protocols around.

Low barrier mining.

Anyone that owns a computer (CPU) or a mobile phone can start mining Verus and 21 other chains. Also ARM devices are one of the most cost-efficient ways to start mining.

Simple staking.

It doesn’t matter how many coins you have or how good your computer is, anyone can start staking with a full node wallet right away. It is fair and keeps the network decentralized.

Running a node.

Recommended requirements:
  • 64-bit OS & processor
  • 8GB memory
  • 50GB storage

    • The low requirements show the scalability and power of the Verus protocol.

    Protocol level security — even against private key loss or theft.

    Verus Vault, in combination with VerusID, delivers theindustry-leading standard for securing fundsStore your cryptocurrency funds on a VerusID, activate Verus Vault, and start to relax. Set TimeLocks or DelayLocks for different use cases.

    Example use cases are theft-proof staking, trusts, inheritance and security against the infamous “5$ wrench attack”.

    Privacy is a human right. Verus takes this seriously.

    Privacy is necessary to truly empower individuals and communities. That is why Verus utilizes privacy technology called zk-SNARKs. It is theindustry-leading standard for privacy enabling technologyThe technology is embedded in the protocol layer of the network and can not be seen as an afterthought.

    Users can easily choose between transparent and private transactions on the Verus blockchain, and all PBaaS-chains.

    No faulty smart contracts — only secure Smart Transactions.

    All functionality on the Verus blockchain is programmed in the protocol.All Verus features are considered mission-criticaland find their origin in the consensus layer. These functionalities are directly connected to the miners and stakers, they are called Smart Transactions.

    Verus prevents application developers from being responsible for systems security. Here’s why that’s an important design choice. We can see many problems arise with smart contracts on other (EVM-based) systems. Vulnerabilities, bugs, abuse. New smart contract incidents occur each day.

    With Verus, these EVM-based problems are of the past. Users can securely and confidently interact with (decentralized) applications built on top of the Verus protocol.
