## ما هي فيرج (XVG)؟

فيرج (Verge) هي [عملة مشفرة](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-cryptocurrencies) و[سلسلة كتل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) تركز على الخصوصية وتسعى إلى تقديم شبكة مدفوعات سريعة وفعالة ولامركزية تعمل على تحسين سلسلة [بيتكوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/bitcoin) (BTC) الأصلية. حيث تشتمل على ميزات خصوصية إضافية مثل دمج شبكة عدم الكشف عن الهوية "تور" في محفظتها، التي تسميها فيرج باي (VergePay)، إضافة إلى توفير خيار إرسال المعاملات إلى عناوين معماة.

ويصف المشروع نفسه بأنه يدار من قبل مجتمعه، ويعتمد في تشغيله على متطوعين ويفخر بأنه مفتوح المصدر.

تم [إطلاق](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=817937.0) "فيرج" لأول مرة في أكتوبر 2014 باسم (DogeCoinDark)، حيث كانت سلسلتها عبارة عن انقسام ثابت من سلسلة "[بيركوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/peercoin/)" (PPC). وفي فبراير 2016، تم [تغيير اسمها](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1365894.0) إلى "فيرج" (Verge) سعياً إلى خلق [علامة تجارية](https://medium.com/vergecurrency/verge-currencies-xvg-new-branding-7b8c23a4e7e4) يسهل تبنيها في السوق الشامل وتمييز نفسها عن [دوجكوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/dogecoin/) (DOGE)، والتي ليس لها صلة مباشرة بها. حيث يعتمد المشروع الآن على كود المصدر الخاص ببيتكوين.

### من هم مؤسسو "فيرج"؟

تم إطلاق "فيرج" (Verge) في عام 2016 من قبل جاستن فالو، المعروف أيضاً باسم "جاستن فينديتا" أو "Sunerok"، وهو مطور يتمتع بأكثر من 20 عاماً من الخبرة في أمن الشبكات وما يقرب من عقد من الزمان في تكنولوجيا سلسلة الكتل كان السبب الأولي وراء قيامه بتطوير العملة المشفرة هو لإرضاء شغفه وتمكين الأفراد في جميع أنحاء العالم بإحساس أكبر بالخصوصية.

وفالو، كما [يقول](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ8iUOVgqsk)، عكف على البرمجة منذ أن كان بعمر الثامنة، وعمل في إدارة الشبكات مباشرة بعد المدرسة الثانوية، قبل أن ينضم إلى شركة (Fortune 500). إلى أن قرر، بعد بضع سنوات، بدء شركته الخاصة لأمن الشبكات.

أصبح فالو مهتماً بالبيتكوين لأول مرة في عام 2011، ثم [شارك](https://medium.com/vergecurrency/the-birth-of-verge-currency-3f729cc6b64c) لاحقاً في دوجكوين التي تم إطلاقها في أواخر عام 2013. ثمّ بدأ العمل على "فيرج" بسبب [اعتقاده](https://medium.com/vergecurrency/verge-currency-and-the-vergefam-community-cff57401955d) أن العملات البديلة التي تم تطويرها في ذلك الوقت لم تكن تعمل بشكل كافٍ كعملات مشفّرة، وأن مشاريع عملة الخصوصية المهمّة الأخرى الوحيدة - [بايتكوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/bytecoin-bcn/) (BCN)، و[مونيرو](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/monero) (XMR) - لم تكن كافية.

في عام 2017، تم [تعيين](https://www.facebook.com/tokenpay/posts/advisor-lead-developer-of-verge-sunerok-joined-tokenpays-advisory-boardlearn-mor/148499659208889/) فالو في المجلس الاستشاري لـ "[توكن باي](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/tokenpay/)" (TPAY)، وهي عملة مشفرة تركّز على الخصوصية.

### ما الذي يميّز "فيرج" Verge؟

ووفقاً لمستندها الفنّي التعريفي "الورقة السوداء"، تم [إنشاء](https://vergecurrency.com/static/blackpaper/verge-blackpaper-v5.0.pdf) "فيرج" كوسيلة لتحقيق رؤية مؤسس بيتكوين، [ساتوشي ناكاموتو](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto)، من خلال خلق نظام دفع إلكتروني لامركزي، دون وسيط، مع توفير خصوصية أكثر مما هو متاح في بيتكوين.اً

ومن أجل تحقيق هذا الهدف، تعتمد "فيرج" على سلسلة من ميزات الخصوصية الرئيسية. حيث تقوم تلقائياً بتوجيه جميع حركة المرور من وإلى محفظة "فيرج باي" (vergePay) الخاصة بها عبر شبكة (Tor)، وهو ما يضمن إخفاء حزم البيانات وعناوين بروتوكول الإنترنت. كما توفّر عنواناً خفياً مزدوج المفتاح، يمكن من خلاله للمرسلين إنشاء عناوين محافظ للاستخدام الواحد نيابة عن المستلمين بغية مساعدتهم في حماية خصوصيتهم، هذا إلى جانب ميزة [المبادلات متناهية الصغر](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/atomic-swap) لتمكين المعاملات [من نظير إلى نظير](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/peer-to-peer-p2p) عبر سلسلة الكتل.

تسعى "فيرج" إلى الحصول على تبني القطاع الواسع، وفي هذا الإطار، يعمل فريق "فيرج" على إقامة شراكات استراتيجية لزيادة الوعي بالعملة واستخدامها. من خلال أنشطة [رعاية](https://vergecurrency.com/fueled-by-verge/) رياضيين محترفين، والدخول في شراكات مع منصات مثل نظام المدفوعات والمكافآت ([MobiePay](https://medium.com/vergecurrency/verge-currency-and-mobiepay-team-up-8f58f1d33853))، ومنصة مدفوعات التشفير ومزود أجهزة الصراف الآلي ([MeconCash](https://medium.com/vergecurrency/verge-meconcash-press-release-cc17678d68cd))، ومنصة المقامرة القائمة على سلسلة الكتل ([Crazy8Token](https://medium.com/vergecurrency/crazy-8-welcomes-verge-currency-to-the-59-billion-dollar-gambling-industy-1065356c2540))، إلى جانب غيرها من الأنشطة.

وغالباً ما [يعتمد](https://medium.com/@sashakolupaev/atomic-announcement-crowdfunding-campaign-3173d1a8473d) فريق "فيرج" على التمويل الجماعي والدعم المجتمعي ليكون قادراً على توسيع نطاق الشراكات وتسويقها ومتابعتها. في أبريل 2018، [جمع](https://medium.com/vergecurrency/verge-from-seed-to-revolution-fc3833333ba5) المشروع 75 مليون (XVG) أي ([حوالي](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/verge/historical-data/?start=20180401&end=20180429) 7 ملايين دولار في ذلك الوقت) لتغطية تكاليف دمج منصة مدفوعات معروفة.

### كم عدد عملات فيرج (XVG) الموجودة في التداول؟

يبلغ الحد الأقصى للمعروض الإجمالي من "فيرج" 16.5 مليار (XVG). ووفقاً لشركة "فيرج"، فإن سقف المعروض المرتفع هذا كان [عن قصد](https://vergecurrency.com/faq/)، بغية ضمان الحفاظ على أسعار الرموز المشفّرة منخفضة، وهو ما يسمح للمستخدمين بتجنب المدفوعات الجزئية. كما أنه يجعل من الصعب على جهة واحدة السيطرة على عدد كبير من عملات (XVG) يتيح لها التلاعب بالسواق.

لم يكن لدى العملة المشفرة [طرح أولي](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico)، ولم تجر أي بيع مسبق للرموز المشفّرة. على هذا النحو، قال فريق تطوير "فيرج" إنه لا يحمل في حوزته كمية كبيرة من (XVG). بدلاً من ذلك، يتم إصدار جميع عملات (XVG) المتداولة حالياً من خلال عملية التعدين القائمة على نموذج [إثبات العمل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) المتبع في سلسلة كتل "فيرج"، وهي متعددة الخوارزميات وتدعم (Scrypt)، (X17)، (Lyra2rev2)، (Myr-groestl)، و(Blake2s).

تخضع "فيرج" لعملية تخفيض لمكافآت التعدين بشكل دوري إلى النصف، حيث يتم تقليص ما يحصل عليه المعدّنون من (XVG) كمكافأة كتلة بنسبة 50%. وبموجب [جدول](https://github.com/vergecurrency/verge) توليد العملة الحالي، يتم تخفيض المكافآت إلى النصف مع إكمال كل 500,000 كتلة.

### كيف يتم تأمين شبكة فيرج (Verge)؟

يتم تأمين شبكة "فيرج" من خلال خوارزمية [توافق](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) إثبات العمل المشابهة لتلك الخاصة بسلسلة بيتكوين، والتي تستخدم "فيرج" نفس الكود الخاص بها. وفق هذه الخوارزمية، يجب أن يوافق 51% على الأقل من جميع العقد الكاملة في الشبكة على المعاملة قبل السماح بإضافتها إلى سلسلة الكتل، وهي العملية التي تخلق كتل بيانات جديدة وتعرف باسم التعدين، حيث يتنافس مشغلو العقد فيما بينهم لحل المسائل الرياضية المعقدة التي تستهلك كميات كبيرة من الطاقة. ومع ذلك، على عكس بيتكوين، تدعم "فيرج" خمس خوارزميات تعدين مختلفة. ووفقا لفريق التطوير، فإن هذا يجعل الشبكة أكثر أمنا، لأنه يتيح لمزيد من الأشخاص القدرة على المشاركة في عملية التعدين.

في أبريل 2018، [تعرضت](https://twitter.com/vergecurrency/status/981578693062610950) شركة "فيرج" لهجوم استهدف شبكتها مستغلاً ثغرة في خوارزمية التعدين (Scrypt) ما أدى إلى سرقة 20 مليون (XVG) حسبما [قيل](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3256693.0) حينها. وردا على ذلك، قام المشروع بعمل انقسام ثابت في سلسلة الكتل لتصحيح المشكلة. على الرغم مما أشيع على نطاق واسع من أنه [هجوم من نوع 51%](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/51-attack)، إلا أن المؤسس والمطور الرئيسي فالو [نفى](https://twitter.com/justinvendetta/status/1243002670505496576) ذلك، قائلاً إنه كان في الواقع هجوماً زمنياً، وهو نوع يتضمن التلاعب بالطوابع الزمنية للكتلة من أجل تقليل صعوبة التعدين.

### أين يمكنك شراء فيرج (XVG)؟

يتاح رمز (XVG) المشفّر للشراء في العديد من البورصات بما في ذلك [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/binance/)، و[HitBTC](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/hitbtc/)، و[Bittrex](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/bittrex/)، و[Huobi Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/huobi-global/). حيث يمكن تداوله مقابل عملات ورقية مثل الدولار الأمريكي واليورو، والعملات المشفرة مثل [بيتكوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/bitcoin)، و[إيثريوم](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/ethereum) (ETH)، إضافة إلى العملة المستقرة [دولار تيثر](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/tether/) (USDT)

NEM is a blockchain platform that was launched in March of 2015. It was one of the pioneers of the cryptocurrency industry, and sought to improve on the imperfections found on other chains at the time. It was one of the first non-turing complete chains to feature user-defined tokens (called mosaics), namespaces, multisignature accounts, and a P2P reputation system based on EigenTrust++. Its most notable contribution to the space is the proof-of-importance consensus mechanism, which sought to reward on-chain activity and deter the concentration of wealth commonly associated with proof-of-stake. Its client, NIS, is written in Java.

NEM has a global community. It sees the most utility as an alternative form of payment for businesses and vendors, and has a variety of social media apps built on top of it in Japan, such as nemgraph, a community-driven owned and operated alternative to Instagram.

In December 2021, NEM was hard forked by a pseudonymous team of cryptocurrency experts and enthusiasts alike. Titled Harlock, this hard fork signaled the community’s intent to take NEM from a shadow of its former self into the world’s leading payments platform for on-chain and off-chain media content.

Holo is a peer-to-peer distributed platform for hosting decentralized applications built using Holochain, a framework for developing DApps that does not require the use of blockchain technology. The goal of Holo is to serve as a bridge between the broader internet and apps built using Holochain, offering an ecosystem and marketplace in which DApps are easily accessible, as they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

The Holo network will be facilitated using a token called HoloFuel, which is actively being tested and will act as an accounting system to pay hosts for their services. In 2018, the project minted an ERC-20 token, HOT — also known as HoloToken — as an "IOU" that will be redeemable for HoloFuel upon launch.

Holo is still in development and is expected to launch for open alpha and beta testing by 2021.

Ontology is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.

The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain.

At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular initial coin offering (ICO) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT cryptocurrency.

This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny.

For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like Binance.

Ontology launched its own MainNet on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.

IOTA is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) that features unique architecture and an open-source product suite for individuals, businesses, and institutions to use in Web3. It is built on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) called the Tangle, which can be pictured as a multi-dimensional blockchain. It enables the exchange of data and value on a decentralized platform through direct and secure transfers, executed on and immutably recorded on the network.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive into IOTA.

Together with its staging network Shimmer, IOTA aims to offer solutions to establish a secure and permissionless infrastructure that can drive the economy of the future. It enables the development of decentralized applications through automated trust in the form of Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, an advanced consensus algorithm, and thoughtfully balanced incentives.

IOTA delivers tools for creating and managing custom Layer 2 (EVM) chains, deploying smart contracts, minting native tokens and NFTs with distinctive features, and introducing digital identities to users.

Launching in 2024, IOTA 2.0 will be a protocol upgrade that rebuilds IOTA’s architecture to deliver full decentralization. You can find more about it here.

OMG Network, formerly known as OmiseGo, is a non-custodial, layer-2 scaling solution built for the Ethereum blockchain. As an Ethereum scaling solution, OMG Network is designed to allow users to transfer ETH and ERC20 tokens significantly faster and cheaper than when transacting directly on the Ethereum network.

The network is based on a novel scaling solution called MoreViable Plasma, which uses a sidechain architecture to group several transactions off-chain into a batch, which can then be verified as a single transaction on the Ethereum root chain. According to OMG Network, this technology has the potential to scale Ethereum to thousands of transactions per second (TPS) — instead of the 10 to 14 tps Ethereum 1.0 is currently capable of.

The network is powered by the OMG utility token, which can be used as one of the payment methods for fees on the OMG Network, and will eventually be stakable — helping to secure the network in return for rewards.

OMG Network

Billed as "digital money for the modern world," nano is a lightweight cryptocurrency that is designed to facilitate secure, practically instant payments, without fees, and addresses some of the major limitations of both legacy financial infrastructure, and many modern cryptocurrencies.

Development of the project began in 2014 under the name RaiBlocks, and the coin (then termed XRB) launched the following year through a public faucet, which allowed users to claim small amounts of XRB after completing a captcha challenge. Anyone with access to a computer or phone could solve captchas, and be rewarded with RaiBlocks. The number of XRB people received per solved captcha varied over time

RaiBlocks (XRB) was rebranded to Nano in January 2018, with the new name chosen to better represent the speed and simplicity the project offers to users.

It is a peer-to-peer platform that uses a unique block-lattice data structure to allow users to easily transfer value to one another without relying on centralized intermediaries.

Unlike other platforms which typically use the combined proof-of-work of a massive mining network to achieve consensus, nano instead uses a system known as Open Representative Voting (ORV) — which sees account holders vote for their chosen representative, who then work to confirm blocks of transactions securely.

ORV makes Nano extremely energy efficient, positioning it as a more environmentally friendly alternative to proof-of-work (POW)-based cryptocurrencies.

In November, 2021, aiming to bring nano to the real world and to comply with the globally-recognized standards of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) requirements, nano adopted a new ticker and a standard symbol: XNO and Ӿ.

Reserve Rights (RSR) is an ERC-20 token that will serve two main purposes for the Reserve Protocol: overcollateralization of Reserve stablecoins (RTokens) through staking and governing them through proposing & voting on changes to their configuration.

The Reserve Rights (RSR) token was launched in May 2019 following a successful initial exchange offering (IEO) on the Huobi Prime platform.

Reserve Rights

Qtum (pronounced ‘“quantum”)  is a proof-of-stake (PoS) smart contract open-source blockchain platform and value transfer protocol. It aims to bring together the strengths of Bitcoinand Ethereumin one chain. Qtum is built on Bitcoin's UTXO transaction model, with the added functionality of smart contract execution and DApps. Recently, the platform added support for DeFi applications. As of March 2021, there are more than 20 tokens created on the Qtum blockchain.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Qtum.

The project was announced in March 2016 and held an ICO a year after, in March 2017, which brought its founders $15 million USD. The Qtum main chain was released on Sept.13, 2017. Initially, the Qtum coin was issued as a ETH-20 token, but with the launch of the mainnet, it was converted to native blockchain.
