Verona
Verona(formerly known as XION) is AI's intelligent layer. Today’s AI is not intelligent, because it cannot act on verified real-world information. This data is either locked in legacy, redundant verification systems—forcing the same user to prove the same thing for every application—or discarded after a single use.Verona's Truth Engine uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify a fact once at the source, transform it into a provable fact, and store it in a decentralized network that is user-owned and reusable by any agent or service the user authorizes. Data never moves or is exposed; only proofs are reused.Verona is a revenue-generating network with abstracted gas fees, so its value does not come from demand for gas fees. Brands such as Uber, Amazon, and Nike, as well as millions of users, are already using the engine. Every project on the network shares revenue: Burnt’s enterprise revenue provides a recurring floor, while agents are the engine that keeps running, with every on-chain operation settled in VERONA. These revenues repurchase and burn VERONA, so supply contracts as enterprises grow and agents take more actions.
