Valu is built on Verus
Verus is the Layer‑1 blockchain powering Valu. Verus uniquely solves the blockchain trilemma of decentralization, scalability, and security. It introduced the world's first Layer 1 Self-Sovereign Identity (ValuID), enabling users to autonomously issue, revoke, and recover their digital identity without reliance on corporations or governments, fundamentally empowering individual data ownership.
Furthermore, Verus offers Layer 1 Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that provably eliminates MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) through "simultaneous solving," ensuring fair and transparent financial interactions across its multi-chain, multi-currency network.
Highlights
- Launch any type of currency: both tokens and liquidity pools, fractionally backed
- MEV‑Free AMMs: simultaneous solve beats front‑running bots.
- Public Blockchains‑as‑a‑Service (PBaaS): launch new chains in minutes.
- Proof‑of‑Power: combines Proof‑of‑Work (CPU/GPU friendly) with Proof‑of‑Stake for broad participation.
- On‑Chain Data Storage: publish documents, attestations natively.
Goal: scalability without sacrificing decentralisation or security.

Valu ID — Your Digital Identity, On Your Terms
Most digital identities are controlled by someone else. Valu ID is different.
It’s your self-sovereign identity — not owned by a company, not issued by a government. It’s yours to create, revoke, and recover.
Baked directly into Verus’ Layer 1 identity system, Valu ID provides total privacy and control. Use it to:
- Prove who you are without giving away sensitive data
- Set up secure recovery options
- Manage digital wills, trusts, and vesting schedules
- Protect your assets with time locks and vault features
Valu Wallet — Store, Pay, Get Paid
This is more than a crypto wallet. It’s the on-ramp to your personal digital economy.
Use it to store and exchange tokens, earn rewards, or spend within your community.
And soon, your AI agent - the Valu Guru - will be able to use your wallet to act on your behalf, helping you make and manage payments automatically.
What it does:
- Seamless Transfers. Get money in and out of the blockchain with ease.

It’s designed to feel auto-magical — no friction, no complexity.
Valu Social — Conversations You Control
Most messaging apps are free — because you’re the product.
Valu Social isn’t just another chat app. It’s the social layer of the Valu ecosystem — your gateway to real communities, real coordination, and real ownership. It's secure, end-to-end encrypted messenger where you own your data.
Coordinate with your community. Create data unions. Share, chat, and collaborate without surveillance. It’s your digital town square — owned by you, not by a corporation.
Here’s what it delivers:

The Valu Key: A Trusted Hardware Bridge to Digital Identity
At the core of Valu’s hardware strategy is a patented “physical plug-in computer fob”—a secure USB device designed to serve as a bridge between users and their digital identity within the Valu ecosystem. Engineered with limited, non-reprogrammable memory and operating as a Human Interface Device (HID), it provides personalised identity authentication while minimising attack surfaces.
Cost-Effective and Scalable
Priced at approximately US$1 per unit, the device enables mass distribution via public postal systems, inbox drops, and point-of-care placements. This low-cost, high-impact channel transforms passive audiences into engaged digital participants.
Market Proven
The technology has already been validated by 135+ Fortune 500 brands, the device has demonstrated both technical reliability and commercial traction - positioning it as a strategic tool for identity onboarding, privacy-first marketing, and direct user engagement at scale.
Valu Chain — Your Foundation for the Community Economy
This is your decentralized infrastructure. Literally.
Here’s what makes it matter:
- Built on Verus Protocol. Valu Chain is a PBaaS chain, meaning it's a new blockchain nested within the Verus architecture, carrying a "spark of the main chain". It inherits the security, decentralization, and scalability of Verus's hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism and Layer 1 Self-Sovereign Identity (ValuID).
- Multi-Chain, Multi-Currency, Multi-Verse. Unlike monolithic blockchains, Valu Chain supports a multi-chain approach, allowing for the creation of numerous interconnected blockchains, diverse currency options, and varied applications. This fosters seamless integration and cross-chain functionalities.
- Powers Community Economies. It enables communities and brands to tokenize their own Self-Sovereign Economies, create personalized rewards, incentives, and offerings, and gamify services and experiences. Communities can launch "coins of the realm" that reflect their shared values and can be asset-backed.
- Facilitates Direct Monetization. Valu Chain supports a shift from advertising to "paid messaging", enabling brands to pay users and communities directly for their business and loyalty by securely sharing privacy-protected proofs. This disrupts ad overload and enhances user-owned monetization opportunities.
- Leverages Self-Sovereign Identity (ValuID) and ZK Privacy. It ensures cryptographic property rights and data security. ValuID enables individuals to autonomously issue, revoke, and recover their digital identity, while Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) allow for verifiable, privacy-protected sharing of information without revealing underlying sensitive data. This is crucial for building trust and authentic relationships.
- Enables Embedded Finance and Identity. Communities and brands can add financial services, payment wallets, and Web3 services directly into their apps and experiences. This includes the ability to manage digital identity and personal privacy-protected data within wallets, streamlining complex customer processes and unlocking new revenue streams.
- Supports User-Generated Ownership. The system is designed for a user-owned digital economy, where individuals and communities control their content, digital assets, and value derived from their online presence, ensuring empowerment over entrapment.
- Community-Driven Governance. Participants can collectively shape the direction and policies of the Valu Chain, ensuring inclusivity, transparency, and efficient decision-making.
- Open to All. With an emphasis on open-source principles and hardware agnosticism, Valu Chain ensures accessible and transparent platforms, fostering innovation and collaboration.
This isn’t a blockchain owned by a corporation that serves its shareholders. It’s a decentralised network infrastructure built and owned by you — for your community, your economy, and your digital future.
The Bottom Line?
Valu isn’t just a platform - it's a suite of tools designed to give you back ownership of your digital life. Where your identity is yours. Your data is yours. And your AI works for you.
It’s Web3, the way it always should have been.
