Verge

Privacy-focused cryptocurrency platform

Verge is an edge or boundary, especially where something ends or transitions into something else: the verge of the forest, grass verges along the roadway.

Most often verge appears with *on* to mean approaching or bordering: on the verge of tears, on the verge of bankruptcy, His confidence verges on arrogance.

The word suggests being right at the threshold of change or action.
