Verge is a secure and decentralized P2P electronic payment system designed to send transactions privately. Verge has a public ledger similar to Bitcoin, but unlike Bitcoin you will not be able to see the public addresses of the transactions that are being conducted. This privacy is achieved by using the Tor (The Onion Router) and I2P (Invisible Internet Project) technologies to hide the IP addresses of users. Verge was originally known as DogeCoin Dark, and then rebranded to Verge in 2016. The creators of Verge wanted this coin to be thought of as a legitimate form of currency, not just a way to pay for illicit items.
