Run a full node and start staking VRSC.
Participate in securing the network while earning rewards with minimal requirements.
Extremely low-barrier staking for everyone.
Staking takes up 50% of the consensus mechanism of Verus and its PBaaS-blockchains. You need to run a full node to participate in staking.
The more VRSC you stake, the higher your chances of finding blocks and earning rewards. There is no real minimum amount required to start staking.
Verus Proof of Power—ultimate blockchain security.
Verus has a unique consensus mechanism called Verus Proof of Power (VerusPoP). It's hybrid 50/50% proof-of-power and proof-of-stake. In short: 50% of all blocks are validated by miners, and 50% by stakers. All ecosystem blockchains inherit this consensus mechanism.
It is a provable solution to 51% hash attacks. Find the paper here.

Earn more by running Bridgekeeper.
Optionally, but recommended for the network. It makes cross-chain transfers between Verus and Ethereum possible.
The more people run Bridgekeeper the faster cross-chain transfers happen
