Since its fair launch in May 2018, Verus has been a beacon of fairness and decentralization in the world of blockchain. Inspired by the same principles that underpin Bitcoin, Verus set out to create a protocol that empowers users with true ownership and control over their digital assets and identities.

Fairness from Inception

Verus was born out of a commitment to fairness and transparency. Like Bitcoin, it had no ICO, no pre-mine, no pre-allocation and no developer fee. Verus is rent-free. This ensured that everyone had an equal opportunity to participate from day one, laying the foundation for a truly decentralized ecosystem.

Decentralization at its Core

Decentralization is more than just a buzzword for Verus—it’s a fundamental principle by design. Through its unique consensus mechanism, Verus achieves unparalleled decentralization by combining 50% Proof-of-Work (PoW) with 50% Proof-of-Stake (PoS). This hybrid approach ensures that Verus Proof-of-Power (PoP) is distributed evenly among miners and stakers, preventing centralization and promoting network security.

Revolutionizing Blockchain Technology

What sets Verus apart from other blockchain systems is its commitment to innovation and inclusivity. With features like VerusID, users can create self-sovereign identities with zero-knowledge privacy, ushering in a new era of digital privacy and security. Moreover, Verus enables users to create their own tokens and even launch their own blockchains without the need for programming skills, democratizing access to blockchain technology. Verus DeFi enables the Internet of Value to emerge with the ability to tokenize everything and make smart transactions which begin in one currency and arrive in another.
