history

Verge was originally known under the name DogecoinDark (DOGED) since 2014 , then was finally renamed Verge in 2016. According to the “Coin Market Cap”, around 15.7 billion Verge Coins are already in circulation. According to the operators, Verge uses various networks such as TOR and I2P , where anonymity is the central issue. The focus here is on privacy, the transactions are therefore not traceable, as the IP addresses involved are concealed, among other things .

The cryptocurrency Verge received more attention after it received support in a tweet from digital expert John McAfee . In the ranking of the digital currencies with the highest market capitalization, Verge took 15th place at the end of December 2017 after the market value had risen by around 800% in one week. After a few bugs became known, the so-called "Wraith Protocol" was not yet completed by the end of the year and McAfee even denied his tweets, there was a major price slump.

On March 26, 2018, Verge collected 75 million Verge (XVG) from its fans in a crowdfunding to implement further innovations and to enter into a global partnership with a large, global corporation. That corporation is Mindgeek .
