Isn't the Verserus exchange one of their previous projects? Are they spending NVO funds on it, now?
Veserus was a project that nemgun abandoned to work on NVO. I don't know for sure if NVO funds are being used on it, but even if they are, it does not matter. They are required to produce a functional wallet and dex and if they do that they meet the terms of the escrow. But - the reasons for Veserus are to help NVO. Here is a good explanation of some things:
