# INTRODUCTION TO VERUS

Welcome to the Verus documentation. Here you find all mainnet and testnet
protocol features and implementations. The documentation will be updated
continuously.


# OPEN-SOURCE, RENT-FREE, SCALABLE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

Verus is an open-source, fairly launched, decentralized blockchain protocol with
proof-of-work and proof-of-stake as its consensus mechanism. It offers rent-free
blockchain tools for creators and organizations to build products, services and
systems.

Verus is a multichain protocol with strong focus on scalability, security and
decentralization. It can scale to world demand, is proven 51% hash attack
resistant and is community built - all coins in circulation are fairly mined and
staked.

With Public Blockchains as a Service (PBaaS) anyone can launch scalable, fully
interoperable, customizable and independent blockchains for public or private
use. Launch tokens & basket currencies (e.g. liquidity pools) on top of
blockchains for any use case. Get funding and create markets with protocol level
built-in DeFi and smart launch options.

Protocol-level self-sovereign digital identities and namespaces (VerusID) are at
the center of the Verus multichain protocol. Giving builders, communities,
businesses and organizations tools never before seen.

Everything happening on the Verus multichain protocol has aligned incentives
with the miners and stakers of the worldwide network. This makes it one of the
most secure protocols with opportunities to earn.


# LOW-COST, RAPID & EASY DEPLOYMENT

Launch blockchains, tokens, liquidity pools, identities and much more without
any coding needed, just simple API commands. Save money on expensive blockchain
(Solidity) developers & infrastructure with the rent-free Verus Protocol.

 * No programming needed for blockchain, token and currency launches
 * Low protocol fees


# SCALABILITY

Verus achieves practically unlimited scalability through its Public Blockchains
as a Service. Verus PBaaS enables the provisioning of an unlimited number of
independent, interoperable and interconnected L1 blockchains, which inherit all
Verus L1 features.

Verus' scale out TPS (transactions-per-second) is better than what other
blockchains have today. A single PBaaS chain can reach between 75 and 800 TPS
depending on blocktime; a network of several thousand chains would have a total
bandwidth of 1 million+ TPS. But there is no maximum TPS metric because such a
thing does not exist on an open fractal network like Verus.

 * Create use case specific blockchains and currencies
 * Move activity between chains to avoid congestion


# SECURITY

Verus and its PBaaS-blockchains are 51% hash attack resistant. All functionality
can be found in the consensus layer (L1), making the protocol secure for
developers and users. No smart contract risks — Verus uses smart transactions,
not smart contracts.

# INTEROPERABILITY

Verus enables a world where all blockchains communicate with each other. All
PBaaS-chains are interoperable and interconnected. Verus and all PBaaS-chains
are now also connected to Ethereum, in a trustless and non-custodial way.

# DECENTRALIZED & COMMUNITY-BUILT

Verus is a decentralized public blockchain, a community driven project in the
true spirit of Bitcoin. Anyone can participate and contribute, no matter who you
are or where you come from. Verus is:

 * Open
 * Borderless
 * Public
 * Neutral
 * Censorship resistant

Anyone can start mining and staking the Verus Protocol. Mobile phones and ARMs
(e.g. Orange Pi 5) are the most energy efficient devices to mine Verus (and 22
other PBaaS-chains) with. To stake there are no minimum requirements or locking
of funds.

There is no company behind Verus, it is community-built. All protocol fees go to
the block producers of the network (the miners and stakers).

These characteristics that anyone can participate in the Verus Protocol makes it
one of the most decentralized networks worldwide.


# FAIR LAUNCH

Verus had a fair launch, meaning that everyone had, and still has equal
opportunity to collect its currency through mining and staking. For Verus this
means:

 * No ICO has been held
 * No founder or developer fees/tax
 * No premine
 * No commercial interests
 * No rent-seeking behavior

The launch of the Verus blockchain was announced on the Bitcointalk.org forum
