This is the main release for the Verus Agama multi-coin wallet with support for Verus, Bitcoin, Komodo, Zcash, and others, even Doge. This release also includes the ability to connect to and use the Verus Testnet with easy multi-chain network, cross-chain send, and in-wallet currency conversion capabilities that go beyond any blockchain system or cryptocurrency available today. Don't take our word for it. Just give it a try when you're not using the other mainstream wallet features.

To participate in the tech preview, go to settings in the upper right corner of the app and select "App Config". Look for Verus Specific Settings, then toggle PBaaS Test Mode and Enable Verus Testnet

Try out cross-chain sends, create and exchange your own reserve currencies and merge mine up to 15 chains at once on the VerusCoin testnet!

Public Blockchains as a Service (PBaaS) and Verus Reserve cross-chain currency conversion technology -- Technology Preview

The Verus public testnet enables anyone to make new blockchains and currencies, each with scale and operational independence, zk-SNARK privacy, automatic wallet support, and 100% liquid conversion between VRSCTEST currency at any volume. Sending currencies cross-chain or converting between currencies is as easy as sending a cryptocurrency in less advanced systems today, except that the new Verus protocol enables you to include another blockchain as part of your destination and convert a fractional reserve currency to and from its reserve, according to its exact price along the way. All conversions are fully decentralized, require a standard protocol fee of 0.01%, which goes 100% to miners and stakers of the network, and calculates one price per block for all buys and sells in that block with zero spread.

With no costs beyond public blockchain network fees, Verus PBaaS Reserve technology enables any organization of any size to make a fractional reserve currency of its own on an independent, uncluttered blockchain with cross-chain interoperability, and immediately useful for payments and conversion to other currencies from within the Verus wallet. 100% of the 0.01% fees for such conversions go directly to the miners and stakers of the organization's new chain, and those miners and stakers also have the option of merge mining up to 14 other blockchains and coins while mining their own project, improving efficiency, profitability, and shared liquidity for everyone involved. Each blockchain is independent and connected through the Verus Reserve protocol.
