The project is being supported by C# project manager Mads Torgensen[3] and Microsoft Research Cambridge research software engineer Juliana Franco.[4] Project Verona is also being aided by academics at Imperial College London.[1] Unlike in Rust where the ownership model based on a single object, it is based on groups of objects in Verona.[4]

According to Microsoft, the goal of the project is to create a safer platform for memory management.[2]

Project Verona is open source released under MIT License and is under active development on GitHub.[5]
