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

A New Era for Ergo: EIP-27 Begins Today

Today marks an incredibly important milestone for the Ergo network and ecosystem. Nearly six months ago, core developer, Alex Chepurnoy, proposed an adjustment to the emission schedule of ERG. The reason for this was to extend the mining rewards beyond the original eight year schedule. In doing so, it would allow for more time to effectively develop the necessary crypto-economic security for the long-term sustainability of the blockchain.
