Verus Coin is a zero-knowledge technology, privacy-oriented project working to offer Public Blockchains as a Service (PBaaS). Verus Coin introduces a new consensus algorithm called Proof of Power, a 50% PoW / 50% PoS algorithm, which aims to solve weaknesses in other PoS systems.

The Verus PoP algorithm is reportedly provably immune to 51% hash attacks, making Verus one of the most double-spend resistant public blockchain(s) running. Verus also uses VerusHash 2.0, a quantum-resistant hash algorithm that aims to bridge the performance gap between CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.
