Powering the Future of Finance

Ergo is a next-generation smart contract platform that ensures the economic freedom of ordinary people through secure, accessible, and decentralized financial tools.

HIGHLIGHTS

A Fair Start

95.57%
Public Allocation

When Ergo launched in 2019, there was no initial coin offering, no pre-mine and no pre-allocation of tokens to any team members or venture capitalists. A truly fair launch with 4.43% of funds allocated to ecosystem development. Unparalleled in any other smart-contract platform.

Alternative Economics

TRUE P2P

Enabling more innovative, targeted implementations that conventional banking can't match. Ergo offers powerful tools with smart contract-powered microcredit facilities and Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS).

Optional Privacy

Σ-protocols

Privacy must remain an option to protect autonomy. Privacy is the ability to create barriers and erect boundaries to create a space for the individual. It is up to each what borders and boundaries they choose to make. This enables new models of financial interaction, underpinned by a safe and rich scripting language, ErgoScript and flexible and powerful Zero-Knowledge proofs
