VerusCoin是一个由前微软副总裁兼技术研究员Michael J Toutonghi担任开发负责人的社区项目，无预挖，无ICO。
VerusCoin最近开始公开测试最大的概念可以说是其愿景，公共区块链即服务(PBaaS)，这使得任何个人或组织轻松地定义和提供自己的区块链。Verus Coin PBaaS目前正在testnet上公开测试，提供了一个功能分散的动态区块链生态系统，具有跨链互操作性。另外PBaaS链还可以获得Sapling私有交易，可编程智能交易，51％哈希攻击保护，CPU友好的FPGA均衡哈希算法，以及其他Verus，Komodo和Zcash技术的优势。

Verus Coin aims to be the world's most advanced technology, zero knowledge privacy-enabling blockchain, Verus Coin brings Sapling performance and zero knowledge features to an intelligent system with a completely unique, combined proof of stake/proof of work consensus algorithm that solves the nothing at stake problem. With this and its approach towards CPU mining and ASICs, Verus Coin may also be the most naturally decentralizing and attack resistant blockchain to exist. Over and above its leading privacy, interchain contracts, and security features, Verus Coin's next steps include automated provisioning of public blockchains as a service, using the same technology that Verus developers created and used to solve the ""nothing at stake"" problem. At that point, the first applications that will allow provisioning of chains on their behalf will be polls and elections. Verus introduces a new consensus algorithm called Proof of Power, a 50% PoW / 50% PoS algorithm, which solves theoretical weaknesses in other PoS systems, and is provably immune to 51% hash attacks, making Verus one of, if not the most, double-spend resistant public blockchain(s) running. With its groundbreaking consensus protocol, Verus also uses a unique hash algorithm, VerusHash, a quantum secure hash algorithm that is near-equally mineable on both CPUs and GPUs. The Verus Coin’s project vision includes automatically provisioned public blockchains as a service. Verus was a no-ICO, no-premine, 100% fairly launched community project.
