Verge
A secure and user-friendly digital currency built for everyday transactions.
Overview
Verge Currency is an open-source blockchain designed to facilitate secure, fast, and user-friendly digital payments for everyday transactions. Launched in 2017, Verge aims to bring blockchain technology into daily life by providing a platform that supports quick and private transactions with low fees. It operates two blockchains: its native Verge blockchain and an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, expanding its usability and integration options.
The platform emphasizes privacy and security, incorporating features like the Wraith Protocol to enable users to switch between public and private ledgers. Verge supports multiple wallet options across platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, with open-source wallets such as VergePay and MyVergies. Developers can access a variety of tools and libraries in multiple programming languages, including PHP and Ruby, and benefit from partnerships with infrastructure providers like NOWNodes for reliable node access and blockchain data.
Verge stands out by focusing on mass adoption through ease of use, community-driven development, and real-world integrations. It is supported by partners such as Binance-backed Travala.com, which accepts Verge for travel bookings worldwide, and NOWPayments, enabling merchants to accept Verge payments with low fees and instant transfers. The project is fully community-run without ICO funding or premining, fostering transparency and ongoing development. Developers can get started by downloading wallets, exploring the open-source code on GitHub, and leveraging APIs from partners like NOWNodes for building applications on Verge.
