Verge

Verge is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency launched on 9 October 2014 under the original name DogecoinDark, and it is designed to enable private, untraceable peer-to-peer payments. It targets users who want transactions that cannot be linked to their real-world identities or IP addresses. The project positions itself as an open-source, community-funded alternative to transparent public blockchains.

Verge runs on a Scrypt proof-of-work consensus algorithm, meaning miners compete to validate blocks and earn newly issued XVG as a reward. Privacy is achieved not by cryptographic transaction obfuscation alone but by routing network traffic through anonymity layers such as TOR and I2P, so that the IP addresses of participants are concealed. The Wraith Protocol feature adds stealth addressing, letting senders direct funds to one-time addresses that are not publicly linked to a recipient's wallet.

The data stored here contains no fee revenue figures for Verge, which means this site cannot report on fee income, who collects it, or how it is distributed. The protocol was not funded through an ICO or pre-mine, so there is no founding entity with a formal claim on network revenue. With 99.80 percent of supply already in circulation at the point-in-time measurement and a dilution overhang of only 0.20 percent of remaining supply pending issuance, future miner rewards from new coin creation are nearly exhausted, though the precise block-reward schedule is not recorded in the data held here.
