Official Documentation | Vera Protocol

Consensus: an implementation of the Tendermint algorithm (Buchman, Kwon, Milosevic, arXiv:1807.04938) with round-based timeouts and a write-ahead log, so a validator never signs two different messages for the same step, even after a restart.
State: every account lives in a Compact Sparse Merkle Tree hashed with BLAKE3. Each block commits to the state root, and inclusion or non-inclusion proofs are available over RPC.
Accounts and signatures: native accounts use Ed25519 keys (32-byte addresses); EVM accounts use standard secp256k1 keys (20-byte addresses), so existing wallets work unchanged.
Execution: native transfers, staking and governance transactions are handled by the state machine; EVM transactions run in revm.
Staking: validators bond VERA, are jailed and slashed for missing blocks, and can unbond. On the testnet the validator set is permissioned through a governance allowlist.
