VeruFi users aren't limited to assets that live natively on Aleo or on the four networks its bridge connects to. Swaps can reach further, into networks like Solana, Sui, and Stellar, and in assets including SODA.

VeruFi is a privacy-first DeFi app built on Aleo, a network that uses zero-knowledge proofs to shield balances and activity once assets move onto it.
Its swap feature draws on the SODAX execution and liquidity system, which coordinates trades across blockchain networks, to trade between assets not native to Aleo.
SODA is one of the assets you can trade for, making VeruFi another cross-network venue for buying, selling, or holding it.
Aleo works differently from the networks most SODA holders are used to. It settles transactions using zero-knowledge proofs, a cryptographic method that lets the network confirm a balance or a transfer is valid without revealing what that balance or transfer actually is. Once assets move onto Aleo, they're shielded: not publicly indexed the way activity is on most blockchain networks.
That privacy used to create a separate problem. Getting assets onto Aleo, or back off it, meant routing through a bridge that could expose a balance the moment it crossed over, or leave someone manually claiming funds on the other side. VeruFi built its own bridge to close that gap: lock USDC, USDT, or ETH on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, or BNB Smart Chain, and receive a shielded version on Aleo, settled automatically through a relayer instead of a manual claim.
Bridging is only one piece of what VeruFi does. Its swap feature draws on the SODAX execution and liquidity system, so VeruFi users aren't limited to assets that live natively on Aleo or on the four networks its bridge connects to. Swaps can reach further, into networks like Solana, Sui, and Stellar, without VeruFi having to build or run that liquidity itself.
Making VeruFi another DeFi app where you can buy and trade SODA.
SODA is the governance token tied to the fees the SODAX system earns as it routes swaps, lending, borrowing, and yield across more than 20 networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin. Total supply is fixed at 1.5 billion tokens with no ongoing emissions and no way to mint more.
Every fee generated by a transaction routed through SODAX splits three ways: 20% funds a programmatic buy-back and burn that permanently removes SODA from circulating supply, 20% goes to SODA staking rewards, and the remaining 60% goes to the SODAX DAO and its liquidity inventory. More networks, more partners, and more volume through the system all flow back into SODA.
VeruFi is one route into that system. The full list of places to buy, sell, and hold SODA lives on the SODAX holders page.
