Everything you can do on Viru

01

Your own wallet

Signing in creates a wallet that only you control. Whatever you buy sits there, and nothing moves out of it unless you approve it. Viru never holds your money.

02

Cash

Cash on Viru is USDC, a dollar coin, in your own wallet. You can add it by card or bank where that is available, send it in from an exchange or another wallet, and move it between Base and Solana from the Wallet tab.

03

Crypto

Markets lists coins on six networks: Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and BNB Chain, and Solana. Each one's address is confirmed by two independent sources before it appears. You buy and sell in dollars from your cash, or swap one coin for another. Viru charges no fee; the network's and the trading route's fees are shown before you approve.

04

Tokenized stocks

A tokenized stock is a token that follows the price of a real share. People who live outside the United States can trade the ones that pass Viru's checks, from their cash on Solana. In the United States they aren't available: the tab is a watchlist of US stock prices and a waitlist.

05

Stocks the old-school way

Real shares trade through a licensed broker, which Viru is not. On Viru you can follow US stock prices on a watchlist; the Old Skool lessons explain how buying a real share works.

06

Sending money

Send cash or a coin to any address on the same network, or pay a person on Viru by their @username. Payments are private: they aren't posted anywhere.

07

The League and your communities

The League ranks people by how much the coins they bought have grown, as a percentage, never in dollars. You can join your university's campus with a school email, start or join a clan with friends, follow verified student clubs, and represent your country.

Trades people make appear on the feed as the pair traded, never the amount. What you hold stays private unless you choose to show it.

08

What Viru doesn't do

Viru doesn't give advice or pick investments for anyone, doesn't trade for you, doesn't lend money or offer shorting, and doesn't pool people's money together. Every list is sorted by a stated, neutral rule.
