But First let’s cover what is Verge Currency or XVG. If you know what Verge is and our history. You can skip to the bottom. Start with ChangeNOW
Verge is a Currency
For three remarkable years, we’ve partnered, innovated, and striven relentlessly to revolutionize the crypto landscape with cost-effective transactions and enhanced user security.
But let’s back up a bit — what is Verge, especially for those joining us on this incredible journey? Well, if Bitcoin is the technological gold, then think of Verge as your digital cash.
We’re committed to making every transaction count, without breaking the bank. With industry-low fees, we’re talking about an average of 0.2 XVG per transaction.
And we haven’t stopped there; courtesy of our five mining algorithms, we’ve slashed block times down to a swift 16 seconds. That means your transactions are not just economical, they’re lightning-fast too. With Verge, it’s more than just currency, it IS the evolution of cash.
From Humble Beginnings
Launched in 2014 under the name DOGECOIN DARK as the 77th blockchain project, Verge, an evolution of Peercoin and Novacoin, was upgraded to a Bitcoin fork in 2018. It’s more than just cash; it’s a thriving community of volunteers working across platforms like Discord, Telegram, Facebook, and Twitter. Our fuel? Your contributions, your ideas, your creativity. From coding on GitHub to marketing, graphic design, and advertising, we’re building this together.
The key tech of DOGED was built on novacoin and peercoin
Verge began its journey by offering user protection. Our wallet integration of TOR and I2P ensured users’ metadata remained shielded, all the while honoring Satoshi’s vision of a public ledger system.
The year 2018 marked a pivotal moment in our timeline. With the introduction of the Wraith Protocol, rebranded as Public Protected Addressing, we brought a new layer of privacy to the public chain. It offered the ability to generate a one-time use address, known only to the sender. This breakthrough allowed private transactions on a public blockchain, all managed from our QT wallets.
In the same year, we embarked on a ground breaking partnership with Mindgeek, ushering in a decentralized payment solution across its platforms; beyond USDT on Tron, Verge Currency stands as THE unique, global, decentralized payment solution.
The following year, 2019, was no less eventful. We rejuvenated our logo and unveiled a game-changer in the form of the standalone Verge iOS wallet. This wallet, designed with an intuitive UI, offers lightning-fast NFC payments and Built-in TOR for locational privacy
Remember, all this is brought to you by volunteers.
2020-Present
The year 2020 and beyond have seen us forming new alliances and streamlining our focus towards the adoption and utilization of Verge as a credible alternative to fiat currency. To further bolster our standing, we underwent the HOWEY test, demonstrating that Verge isn’t classified as a security within the USA but instead, serves as a currency.
During this period, we faced an attack on our chain, but our resilient community of miners rallied together, halting the attack and enhancing our security to even sturdier standards. You can read both medium explainers here. Re-org attempted = re-org failed.
At Verge, we not only embrace challenges but also turn them into opportunities for progress. Our journey continues, and you’re invited to join us in this exciting revolution.
