You may have been hearing some chatter about this new token from Bitcoin.com. You might also be forgiven for failing to see its value given the number of zeros following the decimal point (we counted three zeros today). However, from small beginnings come great things…

So, What is VERSE?

VERSE, the dedicated rewards and utility token in the Bitcoin.com ecosystem, launched in December 2022. It's now being integrated across their suite of products, including their Wallet app supporting various blockchain networks and their news platform.

VERSE rewards users for activities like buying, selling, swapping, spending, and staying informed about crypto news. VERSE tokens offer benefits in the Bitcoin.com ecosystem and beyond, including tier-based rewards, use as payment, and access to exclusive services.

VERSE aims to overcome a key obstacle in cryptocurrency: simplifying the use of self-custodial and decentralized solutions for beginners. Bitcoin.com asserts that relying on third parties to hold crypto assets contradicts the core values of cryptocurrency, which stress economic autonomy and reduced dependency risk.

VERSE motivates people towards self-custodial options by offering rewards for use of their services, making the shift from centralized exchanges more appealing and user-friendly.

Why VERSE?

Since 2015, Bitcoin.com has been a leader in introducing novices to cryptocurrency. They aim to promote economic freedom, interpreted as the ability for people to freely manage their resources. They create products and services that allow individuals to create wealth without limits.

VERSE, through a mix of rewards and practical use, aims to expand decentralized finance (DeFi) access, enabling more people to safely enjoy the benefits of economic freedom and democratized financial opportunities.

VERSE Tokenomics

VERSE, an ERC-20 token, operates on Ethereum and Polygon PoS blockchains. Bitcoin.com aims to make VERSE accessible, thus planning to integrate it across low-fee blockchain networks. 210 billion VERSE tokens will be created over seven years from December 7, 2022, with 69% allocated for community and ecosystem development.

The economic structure of VERSE tokens is strategically designed to ensure their long-term sustainability and to foster growth.

Fair Launch of VERSE: VERSE's launch was transparent, with a publicized token sale that had consistent pricing and openly shared terms to prevent price disparities.
Continuous Unlocking Without Cliffs: Tokens purchased during the sale began unlocking on day one, gradually over 12-18 months. Team-allocated tokens also unlock gradually over four years.
Deflationary Strategy through Buyback and Burn: Verse ecosystem integrates a deflationary mechanism, using a part of transaction fees to buy and burn VERSE tokens, thus reducing the total supply.
Focus on Community Development: The VERSE token, with 34% of total supply allocated to the Verse Development Fund, promotes ecosystem growth. It aids DApps integration and stimulates new token projects via the future Bitcoin.com launchpad service.
