According to the website:
Verge is a privacy focused public ledger, that is verified by blockchain technology. The core foundation is built around decentralized transactions that are supported by a global community.
Verge improves upon the bitcoin blockchain by adding privacy enhancing features such as the utilization of anonymity-centric networks Tor and i2P. It was created and its spearheaded by ‘Sunerok’ whose background is in network security and online privacy.
Verge is 100% POW (Proof of Work). We believe POS (Proof of Stake) systems unfairly benefit the users who have the most coins; making it so the rich get richer. This is also currently an issue with traditional fiat currencies (eg. USD).
