About

Verge Currency is a cryptocurrency focused on privacy and security. Their network is aiming to solve for fast transactions with emphasis on user anonymity.

History

In 2013 and 2014, demand for anonymous cryptocurrencies steadily increased as cryptocurrency enthusiasts quickly realized that on-chain Bitcoin payments are not as private as most investors originally though. In an attempt to ameliorate this problem, Dogecoin Dark was created in September 2014 with the two-pronged goal of maximum anonymity and true decentralization.

Almost two years after launching Dogecoin Dark, the team re-branded to Verge with the same privacy and decentralization goals.
