introduction

verbatim is a high-performance evm-compatible layer 1 smart contract platform. verbatim makes meaningful progress towards solving the blockchain trilemma of decentralization, security and scalability.

verbatim proposes the following optimizations in three major areas, resulting in an ultra secure and scaled proof-of-stake ("pos") blockchain, secured by multiple crypto assets:

• multiPOS, for decentralization and security

• verbDB, for performance and scalability

• oracle availability, for builder optimization and secure price feeds

verbatim's improvements address existing issues with regard to proof-of-stake blockchains, while preserving all of the functionality and compatibility desired of the evm.
