Data publication and storage
Publish structured data through VerusID and VDXF with nested, application-specific fields.
Security controls
Use Verus Vault, timelocks, revocation, recovery authorities, and multi-signature control.
Multichain interoperability
Use VerusIDs across PBaaS chains and Ethereum bridge-connected applications.
Simple integration
Integrate VerusID with familiar API commands and existing application stacks.
Decentralized marketplace
Build direct exchange flows for VerusIDs and currencies without intermediaries.
How VerusID is structured
Each VerusID consists of several components that together provide its core capabilities. This structure lets VerusID serve as the foundation for launching currencies, tokens, and entire blockchains.
Unlike traditional blockchain addresses that are cryptographic hashes, VerusIDs are human-readable names that can be owned, controlled, transferred, and used across the Verus network.
Core components
- Human-readable name, such as YourBrand@
- Primary address with private-key control
- Identity address (i-address)
- Optional private z-address
Security features
- Revocation authorities for key compromise
- Recovery authorities for backup access
- Time-locked vaults for secure storage
- Multi-signature capabilities
Data storage
VDXF storage
The Verus Data eXchange Format (VDXF) defines structured data inside VerusIDs, including complex data structures, configurations, and application-specific records.
Contentmap and contentmultimap
Store key-value data and nested structures directly in a VerusID for application configuration, user settings, or data that needs blockchain verification.
Namespace capabilities
Hierarchical structure
Create sub-namespaces for entities inside an ecosystem, with clear organization, ownership, and control.
Launch capabilities
Use the namespace as the foundation for currencies, tokens, and blockchains, with the VerusID as the controller and reference point.
Real-world use cases
Use VerusID as a durable account, namespace, and control layer for applications that need identity, ownership, and verifiable records.
Tokenized communities
Create tokenized communities where membership and governance are managed through VerusIDs and associated tokens.
Governance tokens
Issue governance tokens to community members for voting on proposals and community decisions.
Digital collectives
Create shared ownership and decision-making systems through VerusID namespaces.
Enterprise solutions
Deploy identity and digital asset systems with VerusID security, recovery, and management features.
Asset tokenization
Tokenize real-world assets and manage them through verifiable identities in a secure blockchain environment.
Supply chain tracking
Track products and components through the supply chain with immutable identity records.
Decentralized social
Build social platforms where users own their identities, data, and social connections.
Self-sovereign profiles
Let users control profiles, content, and connections through VerusIDs across multiple platforms.
Content monetization
Enable direct monetization of content through tokens tied to creator VerusIDs.
Event management
Create verifiable, fraud-resistant event ticketing and management systems using VerusID and tokenization.
NFT ticketing
Issue verifiable and transferable tickets as NFTs tied to attendee VerusIDs.
Credential verification
Provide secure verification for event entry and special access with privacy-preserving features.
Financial applications
Build financial applications with verifiable identities and programmable currencies.
DeFi platforms
Build decentralized finance platforms with identity-based access controls and verifiable transactions.
Multi-chain applications
Create financial applications that operate across multiple blockchains with unified identity.
Identity and privacy
Implement privacy-focused identity systems that put users in control of their personal data.
Zero-knowledge proofs
Let users prove identity attributes without revealing sensitive information.
Identity verification
Create KYC and identity verification systems that preserve user privacy while meeting compliance requirements.
