$VRA isn't a rug or a scam but it is a tokenomic structure that was never built to scale & one that still hasn’t been cleaned up properly. Back in 2021 verasity was THAT GUY:
• Circulating Supply: 4.47B • Max/Total Supply: 10B
It was mathematically possible for $1+ predictions to hit and a $MATIC like run was in sight. People invested based on what looked like bulletproof tokenomics, but here’s the catch:
The token wasn’t just an investment asset. It was also supposed to verify human ad views on the blockchain (Proof of View). So now one token had two jobs:

Now run the math, if VRA was going to verify billions of views, reward viewers, AND serve a growing staking base - Then 10B tokens was never going to cut it. There simply wasn’t enough supply to do both at scale. Eventually something had to give.
To scale PoV, the team minted tens of billions more tokens and things got complicated.

To be fair the intention was good
The team wanted to preserve utility for investors and if they separated the tokens back then, holders may have felt abandoned. So they did what they thought was best:
Mint more tokens but keep them confined to select “PoV-only” wallets
The aftermath is what you see today; your bag diluted by up to 18.52x
Because they used the same token, on the same contract, with the same code, there’s no way to tell:
What’s investor supply
What’s operational supply
So now Exchange tokens, Staked tokens & Data tokens for PoV are all indistinguishable on-chain.
You can’t see which tokens are “active,” “locked,” or “held” because there’s no way to tell them apart.
No flag. No label. No metadata. Nothing.
So when tokens move on-chain nobody knows if it's a market sell or an ad being verified.
CMC, CoinGecko, Etherscan, even AI give different supply numbers because they can’t see a difference
Why? Because the tokens are literally the same
Like, identical twins - but even more identical than actual twins
They share the same contract, the same interface, the same everything. You can’t separate them by code or behaviour.
The team claims only 10B VRA are in true circulation but the community disagrees
If that’s true, why are exchanges holding tens of billions? why does on-chain data show 83B circulating?
Because again - the math doesn’t math.
The irony is; one of VRA’s biggest selling points was that the token you hold would always be used to verify views
More views = more demand
So people invested
But now you're in a paradox…
If the team doesn’t separate the tokens:
Supply confusion continues, bags stay diluted, no clear on-chain transparency
But if they do separate them:
Your token loses PoV utility, it becomes just another speculative asset - Utility = gone
So holders are left with a lose-lose
They aped in expecting growing demand tied to a real product. Now they’re either diluted by the infrastructure they helped build or holding a token that no longer powers it
Some argue the supply “isn’t really 18x bigger" but:
Price = Market Cap / Circulating Supply
If you run today’s market cap using the original 4.47B supply your bag is worth 2–3x more
That’s dilution in plain math
