If you agree with Hackernoon, I highly encourage you to check out VerusIDs
All is baked deeply into consensus (updates to ID occur via smart transactions & are UTXO spends)
Identity will become a primitive moving forward, and it shouldn’t live in centralized DBs
Verus $VRSC has a better and more secure design compared to Smart Contract platforms…just look at what is happening in crypto for overwhelming proof👇

#PBW2026 has been a blast. Great conversations at the booth, Mike Toutonghi’s presentation on DREAM apps and that warming Verus community feeling.
Thanks for everyone who came and made this happen!
Every day we get an advertisement for the Verus protocol. Built correctly, fair launch, solved problems that continue to plague the ICO and VC class protocols that are mostly flavors of tweaked flawed designs to begin with.
Verus $VRSC is the future. How many more millions and billions will be lost before people finally see the light?
@max_paperclips Verus $VRSC has the tech at the protocol level
There is an article coming soon that dives into use cases that will blow minds.

Verus at Paris Blockchain Week 2026!
We secured a booth + 20-min talk slot for our lead developer to present Verus to Europe's biggest blockchain audience.
Help us reach €22,000 by Feb 15th and make it happen.

Verus is very close to seeing another surge in expansion via new chains, baskets, and business close to launching.
Here are some reminders of why you will start to see Verus move up the ranks as blockchain adoption accelerates. $VRSC is the future.

@Bankless@0xArnav@BanklessVC We have been telling you about protocol level Verus Self Sovereign Identity tech for years.
That’s how far ahead Verus has been in its world class technology. Hard problems completely solved without hype.

$ETH is terrible for world finance. Been saying it for years. MEV alone is a more serious issue for institutions than most realize, and that is before we talk about Smart Contract risk
Properly designed systems like Verus will rise to the forefront. $VRSC

You see this?
Generational buying opportunity.
What comes next will shock people. There is a reason this network was built quietly with no hype.
SOON
Verus $VRSC.

This is why Verus $VRSC is fair launch with no insiders or centrally controlling entities. It’s difficult to have trustworthy credibly neutral infrastructure for the world otherwise.
As the venerable Oink from the Verus community commented:
“My (historical) observation:
1. Chains start some kind of legal entity to handle listings and stuff.
2. Entity seizes control.
3. Devs run away
4. Chain goes down the drain.”
I think Zcash will be fine but this is another reminder that Fair Launch with no insiders is the best way. It requires more patience, but it is the best way.
@VitalikButerin The Trilemma was already solved in practice by Verus $VRSC but none of the mercenary media and influencers in crypto were paid to talk about so is not widely known
Ethereum is not the first to solve it.

My friends…when I say all roads lead to Verus $VRSC here is a major reason why.
The market is shifting in its understanding of what is most important for a protocol.
You want to know how far ahead of the crowd you are holding Verus? How ahead of the curve @MikeToutonghi design of the system is?
Read the first and last lines last line of the image in the quoted post below.
“Privacy is the one feature that’s critical for the world’s finance to move on chain. It’s also the one feature that almost every blockchain that exists today lacks.”👈👀
“And because privacy is essential for most use cases, **a handful of privacy chains could own most of crypto.”👈👀
Read that again.
That is not from some rando influencer. That is from a16z.
The major players are coming to the conclusion that the chains without privacy are going to fade or have a hard time staying relevant to major business and financial power houses. That is a large portion of existing crypto networks that have no privacy solution built in.
And of the actual privacy chains in the world, how many of them have the wide ranging suite of capabilities and scalability that Verus has? IMO we hold digital gold right now and the market is catching up to reality that privacy is non negotiable and essential. Verus is so far ahead of everyone and everything else, even though price action does not feel that way.
Tell me which privacy chains even come close to all of the capabilities Verus has, especially when it comes to apps?
If you are unfamiliar with Verus please deep dive research it so you don’t embarrass yourself trying to compare $ZEC or some other low function privacy chain to it(you will see why if you actually look honestly and understand what’s under the hood)
Verus is complete. Verus is advanced. Verus is market ready. Verus demolishes the other privacy chains in capabilities and total use case.
The market is starting look at what has privacy and what does not and of the chains that have privacy it is not even close when comparing Verus to everything else. Those of you that hold $VRSC , be glad you found Verus when you did.

Another really nice looking project being built on Verus just announced in the builders channel on Discord.
I truly pity the people selling $VRSC with the amount really innovative things being built that can only be built on Verus because of the unique technology in Verus ID’s and Smart Transaction. So many things rolling out in ‘26
@deepcandles Right…
Can’t do a fraction of what Verus $VRSC can do but it’s the ‘only’ thing🙄
Verus is superior to ZCash in every way. ZEC would implode without centralized exchanges. Verus does not even need them. That alone is more ‘cypherpunk’ than $ZEC
Verus $VRSC was built for this. Credibly neutral infrastructure built for adoption not speculation. Wait till you see what is deploying in ‘26. The infrastructure is done. The builders are building.
