  • Verge Currency announced Tuesday it has teamed up with a U.S.-based firm called Voice Life to develop a new mobile charging device that accepts XVG$0.006252 as payment.
  • The tech will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2021.
  • When launched, users will be able to use the VergePAY platform to fund a two-minute charge of mobile devices. XVG is the only cryptocurrency the system will use, a Verge representative told CoinDesk.
  • The system will use a Far-Field Wireless Power Charging System from Voice Life. This "will ultimately convert ambient terahertz waves into storable energy," according to the firm's website.
  • Voice Life CEO Robert Smith said, "The 'holy grail of blockchain technology' is going to be a real-time application that extends its utility beyond just improving financial transactions. We believe we are developing that application with Verge."
  • Pornhub previously used verge as its only cryptocurrency option for performer payouts after PayPal withdrew its services from the company. It has since added the tether USDT$1.0001 stablecoin and TRX$0.2810. More recently, it added bitcoin and litecoin payments.
