Verana is the Zero Trust layer that makes the Internet verifiable.
Like the DNS (Domain Name System) provides a way of resolving domain names, Verana provides a way of resolving, verifying, and proving trust.

Verana is a public, decentralized ecosystem run by volunteers around the world. Anyone can participate and contribute to the ecosystem.
Participants build a Proof-of-Trust reputation over time, and are financially rewarded by the network for their trustworthiness.

- ecosystem public permissions are stored in a distributed, immutable ledger: the Verana network.
