5G-CASH (VGC) is the fifth-generation, open-source hybrid privacy-focused cryptocurrency with PoW, PoS, Masternodes, Dandelion++, and Tor integration designed for privacy and real-world utility. It's built on a robust Bitcoin Core foundation with enhanced consensus rules integrating anonymity tools to deliver a secure and scalable payment network.

5G-CASH (VGC) is called a hybrid network because it combines multiple consensus and privacy/security layers into one blockchain, instead of relying on just one mechanism. It fuses PoW, PoS and Masternodes at the consensus level blending privacy at the protocol + network layer.

For more information, read the original whitepaper.
