VERONA is expanding its access across Asia.

Bitkub has officially announced $VERONA as a new coin launch, opening up new opportunities for the platform’s users to trade VERONA.

A new listing like this does more than just add another exchange to the list. The wider the access to @verona_dev, the easier it is for new users to discover and join the Verona ecosystem from the platforms they already use.

VERONA’s journey continues to expand, and Bitkub is one of the newest gateways to access it.

The latest $Verona mainnet upgrade is now officially live, with a strong focus on the needs of AI agents, which must be able to prove what they are doing without relying on trust in the agent or the model behind it.

One of the key changes is to the Barretenberg verifier in the x/zk module, which now uses version 5.2.0. With this, proofs from the latest Noir and bb can be verified directly at the protocol level, meaning developers no longer need to create and maintain their own verifier contracts.

This upgrade also brings improvements to Meta Accounts in terms of performance and organisation, whilst strengthening the WASMVM to make the foundation upon which applications running on Verona are built more secure. As the changes occur at the network level, every application on Verona automatically inherits these improvements once the upgrade is active.

"The last piece we needed in place before Monday… considerably bigger than an upgrade."

This upgrade feels not like an end in itself, but rather the final foundation before something much bigger is introduced.

HIGHER

A few weeks ago, verona_dev was still in the comeback phase. Now the story is starting to shift. Activity isn’t just returning it’s continuing to reach new heights.

What feels different is the momentum. Each surge is no longer a one-off busy day but is beginning to form a more consistent rhythm. Daily activity is rising, weekly and monthly activity are taking shape, and the network appears to be used more frequently than in previous months.

That makes the Daily Active Accounts feel more significant than just a new record high. That number signals that $Verona usage is slowly shifting from occasional spikes to something more sustainable.

Open to new and existing Aster users, excluding market makers. Trades through Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, SafePal, and other supported channels also count.

Verona’s momentum in Seoul continues. On September 29, the opening day of KBW2026, Verona will host a community meetup titled "No Sus, Just VERONA!" at SparkPlus Seolleung Branch 3.

The event is designed to be relaxed and community-focused, featuring a founder session with Burnt Banksy, networking with the Verona team, finger foods & drinks, a raffle, and KBW-exclusive merch available only at the venue.

The meetup is also part of the ongoing Find $Verona in Seoul journey throughout the #KBW period. Following Seoul Night and other recent activities, Verona is opening another gathering point for the community to meet the team in person and stay connected with its growing presence in Korea.

Verona Seoul Night "Behind the Scenes of AI" took place in Seoul, bringing together @verona_dev , @GoKiteAI, @pieverse_io, @openroboto, and @Hippo_Protocol for an event that explored several key aspects of AI development verification, payments, data, and training.

This event highlighted that AI is not just about increasingly intelligent models, but also about the infrastructure that enables it to work more securely with real data, values, and decisions.

Verona’s momentum in Korea continues. Following Seoul Night, a series of activities will lead up to #kbw2026 , including the FIND $VERONA in Seoul Campaign, which brings the community closer to Verona’s various activities during that period.

To all of you in Seoul, South Korea.
Verona didn’t come to Seoul just for a single event. During Korea Blockchain Week, her visit was designed as a community journey through the “Find Verona in Seoul” campaign in collaboration with @fireant_korea.

The September 17th event has already taken place, but the journey isn’t over yet. There are still Verona activities on September 29th, including a visit to the Verona booth during the main KBW event, as well as hidden missions that are part of this campaign. The total rewards available amount to 13M KRW, distributed across these various activities.

Participants are invited to come, find the @verona_dev team, collect Verona Travel Stamps, and complete missions throughout the KBW period. So this isn’t just a one-day giveaway, but a kind of community quest that brings Verona’s online interactions to a hands-on experience in Seoul.

#KBW

AI is evolving very rapidly. From simply answering questions, agents are now being programmed to make decisions, execute transactions, and act on behalf of users. At this point, AI not only needs to be smart, but it must also know what is true before taking action.

Behind the Scenes of AI in Seoul on September 17, featuring @verona_dev , @GoKiteAI , @pieverse_io , @openroboto , and @Hippo_Protocol.

This event will explore the inner workings of AI as agents begin to interact with money, data, and real-world decisions from verification and settlement to how that intelligence is built and utilized.

The growth in $Verona daily activity is becoming increasingly evident, and what makes it interesting is not just the rising numbers, but also the developments taking place behind the scenes.

On the usage side, EarnOS continues to drive verified consumer activity. On the ecosystem side, more and more applications and use cases are beginning to connect with Verona through WRTH, TradeOS, Smoothly, Tenant Screening, De¹, and the GIA teams. Recent partnerships such as Atbash and Pulsar are also expanding Verona’s scope into agent governance and agentic payments.

The technological foundation is becoming more comprehensive. The Truth Engine continues to serve as the basis for generating verified facts, while Meta Accounts, various verification primitives, AI-agent tooling, and programmable payments are making verified data easier to use for both applications and AI agents.#Aİ

One Direction for $Verona

In quick succession, Verona has expanded its role within the AI ecosystem through partnerships with De¹ Lab, Atbash and Pulsar. Whilst the three operate in different fields, they are interconnected in their efforts to build AI agents capable of utilising verified information, acting within set parameters, and carrying out financial activities more securely.

Through De¹ Lab, Verona is joining forces with builders developing infrastructure for autonomous finance. Verona brings the capability to transform data from its original source into evidence that can be used by AI agents without exposing the raw data. Consequently, financial decisions are based not merely on information that sounds plausible, but on verifiable facts.

The collaboration with Atbash complements another equally important aspect. Verona ensures the information used by the agent is correct, whilst Atbash ensures that the actions to be taken are indeed authorised. Before an agent carries out irreversible actions such as transferring funds or accessing sensitive systems, Atbash can authorise, suspend or block them based on predefined limits.

Meanwhile, Pulsar brings the implementation closer to users’ financial activities. Pulsar’s AI companion and points programme will be integrated into Verona, with each point being cryptographically verifiable. If Verona verifies what is true, Pulsar uses that foundation to help facilitate money transfers and financial activities more reliably.

These three collaborations are not merely about adding names to the ecosystem; these partnerships form the framework required for AI agents to ascertain facts, understand permissions, and act more securely.

Verona × Pulsar
Verified Intelligence for Agentic Payments

PulsarMoneyApp will bring its AI Companion and rewards programme to $Verona. This collaboration links Verona’s verification infrastructure with a financial app where the AI will be able to take action on behalf of users.

Pulsar is a stablecoin-based app offering USD and EUR accounts, global transfers, and virtual cards for subscriptions and international payments. Through its AI Companion, Pulsar aims to help users manage their accounts and determine the best way to use their money.

However, the main challenge with agentic payments is not simply transferring money, but the decisions made before a payment takes place. Should the user use points or cash balance? Have they already paid for the same subscription? Are those rewards actually owned? Without verifiable data, the agent can only rely on assumptions.

With Verona’s technology, information can be verified at source and transformed into proof owned by the user. With the user’s permission, Pulsar’s AI Companion can utilise this proof without needing to access the underlying personal data. Pulsar Points can also become a record that can be owned and verified, rather than just a number in the platform’s database.

For Verona, this partnership extends the use of the Truth Engine into the realm of consumer finance. Verified data can serve as trusted context to help AI determine how money and points should be used.

Pulsar gives agents the ability to transfer money. Verona provides verified facts as the basis for their decisions.

New Partnership Verona x Atbash

AI agents are now capable of understanding instructions, devising plans, writing code, and executing transactions. The main issue is no longer simply intelligence, but control: Is the information being used accurate, and are the intended actions actually permitted?

The partnership between $VERONA and ATBASH addresses these two questions from different angles. Verona ensures that the information used by the agent has been verified directly from the source. This information is then converted into a proof that can be reused by authorized agents, without them having to access the user’s raw data.

However, operating based on accurate information does not necessarily result in permitted actions. An agent might have accurate data but still attempt to transfer funds beyond the limit, access sensitive systems, or execute code that should require approval. This is where Atbash comes into play.

Atbash sits between the agent and the tools it can access. Companies can set their own "red lines" or operational boundaries. Before an irreversible action is executed, Atbash verifies the agent’s identity, the target it seeks to access, applicable policies, and the possibility of prompt injection. The result can be authorization, blocking, or escalation for further review.

Atbash does more than just stop rule-breaking actions. Every decision also leaves a record of what the agent did, which rules were applied, and the reasons why the action was permitted or blocked. When security teams, customers, or regulators request an explanation later on, the decision log is readily available for review.

This collaboration expands Verona’s role in building AI agents suitable for real-world use. Verona secures information before decisions are made, while Atbash controls the actions resulting from those decisions. The result is not just a smarter agent, but one that operates based on facts, understands the limits of its authority, and can be held accountable.

The Internet is Fake. Let’s Make It Real.

Verona has just launched its new website.

$VERONA new look is more than just a website redesign. Behind the visuals lies a much bigger message about the challenges currently facing AI.

AI can read, predict and generate information. However, when it comes to acting in the real world, an agent still needs proof of what is true.

By building this layer, verified data becomes portable, private and programmable. Facts only need to be verified once; the proof can be reused by authorised agents, whilst the original data never leaves its source.

A new look, but an even clearer vision for The Intelligence Layer for AI

Two tickets to the US Open men’s semifinals are up for grabs in Verona’s latest campaign. Participants simply create a Verona account, connect their WHOOP, play tennis, and start stacking calories.

But the most interesting part is not just the prize. Participants do not have to prove their activity with screenshots that can be manipulated or hand over their entire workout history to the organizer.

Through zkTLS, $Verona retrieves tennis activity directly from WHOOP and calculates the total calories burned over the past 30 days. The leaderboard displays only the verified number, while the raw workout data and access tokens are destroyed once the total has been generated.

The ten participants with the highest calorie counts will advance to the final stage. One winner will then be selected at random on-chain using a public seed, allowing anyone to verify the process.

This campaign offers a simple example of how Verona works, turning real-world activity into trusted proof without exposing the personal data behind it.

Prove the result, not expose the data.

Global Impact Accelerator (GIA)

Verona, together with HackQuest and Chain for Good, has officially launched the Global Impact Accelerator, a program designed to support early-stage teams building blockchain products for real-world needs. From this program, three teams have been selected and will go through the process toward deployment and verification on $Verona Mainnet.

Interestingly, the three teams represent three different use cases: AI, Physical AI/data, and verifiable credentials.

Flywheel AI
Focuses on AI agents for marketing. Its agents analyze business performance, identify growth opportunities, and execute campaigns across SEO, GEO, social media, and other channels.

Axis Robotics
Builds data infrastructure for Physical AI. It collects spatial data through smartphones, supports browser-based teleoperation, and coordinates a global network of contributors.

Kruuu Marketplace
Brings professional credentials on-chain for Indonesia's entertainment industry. Institutions can issue verifiable credentials that are harder to falsify, while providing a walletless and gasless experience.

Looking deeper, these three projects show how Verona's infrastructure can be used across different sectors: AI agents that can actively perform tasks, real-world data for robotics, and professional information that can be verified. These are concrete examples of how Verona is beginning to support real-world use cases.

#CryptoAi

Verona has officially joined De¹ Lab, an initiative by De¹ focused on building an execution engine for on-chain finance.
$VERONA brings its data verification infrastructure into the De¹ ecosystem, with the goal of helping ensure that the data used by financial agents can be verified without users having to submit their raw data.

De¹ is building infrastructure so that AI agents can understand market conditions, make decisions, and execute financial activities on-chain. On the other hand, Verona focuses on verified data and privacy-preserving verification. While De¹ handles how agents act, Verona helps ensure that the information underlying those actions is trustworthy and verifiable.

This partnership becomes crucial as AI agents begin to play a larger role in financial activities. Agents not only need data but also need assurance that the data is accurate.

Verona concept of "Verify once, reuse everywhere, expose nothing" is vital because a fact can be verified and reused without having to constantly disclose the original data.

This partnership has a clear direction: the convergence of AI, verified data, and on-chain finance.

De¹ is building the capability to make financial agents smarter and more capable of executing tasks, while Verona helps build a layer of trust behind the data they use.

It’s not just AI that can act, it’s AI that can act based on verifiable information.

3 Million Verified Data Points in Verona.

On September 2, $VERONA announced that it had reached 2.5M Verified Data Points . Just 9 hours later, that number increased by 500,000 to reach 3M VDPs.

What’s interesting isn’t just the number itself, but what that number actually represents. Each Verified Data Point is a piece of information proven to be true without having to disclose the underlying raw data.

This is where the Truth Engine comes into play. Information is verified and generates a proof that can be reused across the entire network, while the original data remains private.

"The Truth Engine verifies once, then the proof gets reused across the network while the data stays private."

The more VDPs that are created, the more proofs there are that can potentially be reused across various applications within the ecosystem. Therefore, 3 million VDPs isn’t just a large number it indicates that more and more information has been transformed into something that can be verified and reused.

This also highlights Verona’s increasingly clear direction, not merely providing data, but building the infrastructure to prove that the data is accurate.

Moreover, Verona is now positioning itself as the Intelligence Layer for AI. AI agents don’t just need information they also need a way to determine which information is trustworthy, especially as they begin to take action in the real world.

How Verona Revenue Flows into $VERONA

Verona economic model is driven by real-world activity within the ecosystem. When applications built on Verona generate revenue, Verona takes a predetermined share of that revenue. Thus, the network gains value when the applications and use cases it supports actually generate economic activity, rather than simply from the volume of transactions.

The revenue received by Verona then serves as a funding source for programmatic buybacks. This revenue is used to purchase VERONA tokens, ensuring that the token mechanism does not rely solely on new token issuance to sustain the network. The greater the economic activity generating revenue, the larger the available resources for this mechanism.

The purchased tokens are then programmatically burned. This forms part of Verona’s value accrual and network security mechanisms. The litepaper emphasizes that this model aims to link token value to real economic activity, rather than simply counting the number of transactions occurring on the network.

On the other hand, Verona also has a native stablecoin as a unit of payment and settlement. Applications, agents, and enterprises can use fiat or stablecoins to pay for verification, computation, and various other activities, while VERONA serves as the native network token that supports execution, access, and security behind the scenes.

All of these mechanisms can then be viewed transparently through a public dashboard. So the flow is quite simple: Applications generate revenue → Verona takes a revenue share → revenue funds buybacks → tokens are bought and burned → the process is publicly visible.

This is Verona’s effort to build a token economy that is increasingly connected to the network’s actual usage and revenue.

There's something most people never notice about digital verification. Every time someone proves a fact about themselves, that proof almost always disappears the moment the process ends. Log in once, get checked once, then everything gets thrown away.

Verona is built to break that habit.

This diagram maps out the cycle. It starts at the simplest point, someone verifies something and the proof is generated straight from the source, not from a document uploaded by hand. From there the fact belongs to the user, not to the platform that asked for it.

Once a trustworthy fact exists, demand starts to form. Applications and AI agents need something reliable to act on, and a verified fact becomes exactly that. Enterprises step in for two reasons at once, first to verify their own users, then later to compute over permissioned data without ever seeing the raw information itself.

What keeps this cycle turning isn't just more people verifying. It's that a single fact can be reused by different parties, over and over. One proof, used many times, never verified from scratch again. The more it gets reused, the more reason others have to verify themselves too.

Underneath all this activity sits a settlement and payment layer that runs quietly, recording every transaction without ever surfacing to the user. And as more data sources come online, the network's reach widens too, not just in the number of users, but in the range of facts it can actually prove.

This is the pattern that makes a system like this hard to copy quickly. Not because the technology is complicated, but because every new cycle adds value to the one before it, instead of replacing it.
