The returned Verus bridge funds have now been converted back into the original currencies for reintegration into the Verus network.
The Verus recovery address currently holds 1,194.86 ETH (73.51% recovered), 76.0321 tBTC (73.41% recovered), and 147,727.67 USDC (100% recovered as discussed in the community meetings).
One issue we noticed is that some DEX interfaces have blocked the Verus return/recovery address. This address is not the attacker’s wallet. It is the community recovery address holding community funds.
We ask @Uniswap (your compliance department has been notified, we are still waiting for a response) @1inch@blockaid_ to review and correct the classification of the Verus recovery address (0xF9AB28cB7b72B518e6a351FbdaBe69362cBC1A74).
We ask the community to help by tagging relevant DEX interfaces, wallets, block explorers, and tracking services below, so the Verus recovery address is correctly recognized across the ecosystem.

Anyone here or in DM (or anywhere) claiming to be part of the Verus team or community offering reimbursement is a scammer, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH PEOPLE OFFERING REIMBURSEMENT OR CLAIMING THERE IS A REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM, AND REPORT THEM TO DISCORD or X accordingly.
@MikeToutonghi presentation on Verus DREAM apps from Paris Blockchain Week.
This is one of the most important advancements in decentralized systems that got overlooked because most were paying attention to the hacks on other protocols.

Been trying to get historical data for @VerusCoin on chain dex and I am blown away.
Just in stable coins it has done 200m in volume, with potentially 700m in life time trades.
This from a chain that is only 50m mc with no premines or ICOs.
Tech and community first!!!
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
Cosmos, another example of an ICO fad protocol that has turned out to be centralized and useless.
Meanwhile the Verus protocol, a fair launch no ICO community driven project continues to innovate without the interference of VC’s and central control.
Verus just unveiled the D.R.E.A.M. app protocol at PBW. Akash would be at home on Verus with a PBaaS chain.
$VRSC is the future and every week, the news in crypto reinforces that.

Andreas was my first exposure to Bitcoin. I am so thankful for his early advocacy, his drive to educate, and the spirit of his convictions and values. I'm so sad to hear he's unwell.
Best wishes for your health @aantonop
NEW: Bitcoin educator Andreas Antonopoulos says he will stop producing livestreams and new content due to health issues.
Antonopoulos previously said he has been suffering from debilitating migraines and has tried nearly every treatment available, but nothing has successfully stopped them.
@WallStreetApes Labs should be "over the counter" as well. You should be able to get labs anywhere, for any reason and government should not limit our ability to see what is going on with our own bodies.
Can we just go back to simple appliances?
We don't want screens on our fridge.
We don't want a 100 different settings to dry our clothes.
We just want old school, get the job done appliances that are not a pain in the a$$ to maintain.
@akm515 Yesterday our oven crashed and rebooted while baking, unresponsive while it came back up. At least its state was preserved and it knew it was still baking. Maybe there's a firmware update that would fix the issue, but I'm loathe to connect it to the internet even once.
It’s probably best cogsec practice to assume everything you see is AI, everything you read is a lie, everyone you speak with is a bot, and everything you experience is a psyop. It’s the most intelligent frame to operate from in 2026 and moving forward.
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.
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.

anon’s guide to actually supporting privacy:
> donate to tools you use instead of just complaining they need money
> contribute code if you can, documentation if you can’t
> use private money (cryptocurrency, cash)
> tell normies about alternatives without being insufferable about it
> work for companies that aren’t surveillance machines
> push for legal protections because tech alone won’t save us
privacy isn’t a product you buy, it’s an economy you build
Zelle was great for a while, now it's unusable. Ridiculous and opaque "fraud" heuristics have made it a nightmare. I've lost all patience and have nothing but contempt for it.
It's not your money if you have to get permission to use it.
Smart contract platforms ask: what can developers build? Then make them write, audit, and deploy complex code for basic features.
Verus asked: what primitives do developers actually need?
Money, identity, data, scale.
Start building now.
Check the tokenomics of most chains: huge allocations to team, VCs, foundation.
Verus? 100% emission to miners and stakers, 100% of fees to miners and stakers.
No insider allocation. Just work.
