ZCash is a privacy focused cryptocurrency protocol that enables users to make transactions anonymously. Users to hide the sender, receiver, and amount of every transaction. ZCash has several high profile advisers and investors, including: Roger Ver, Gavin Andresen, and Vitalik Buterin.
ZCash has a fixed supply of 21 million coins; 20% of which will be allocated as a founders reward that is split between investors and developers. This founders reward has been the subject of controversy and has led to a fork of the ZCash protocol.

Verge is a privacy focused cryptocurrency. It was formerly known as DogeCoinDark and was rebranded to Verge Currency in 2016. Verge uses multiple anonymity-centric networks such as TOR and I2P. The IP addresses of the users are fully obfuscated and transactions are completely untraceable.
Verge is based on the Wraith Protocol that enables users to be able to send and receive payments privately across their blockchain with stealth addressing services and complete anonymity. The protocol provides an additional layer of IP obfuscation as well as the option to utilize stealth addressing services for transactions.
