About Ergo

Ergo is a Proof-of-Work blockchain that advances Bitcoin's UTXO model with enhanced smart contract capabilities through Sigma protocols (a class of zero-knowledge proofs). Ergo's eUTXO (extended UTXO) model allows for richer DeFi applications than Bitcoin while maintaining many of Bitcoin's security properties. The platform features Autolykos, a mining algorithm designed for ASIC resistance and GPU miners. Ergo enables private transactions, stablecoins (SigUSD), and DeFi through its ErgoDEX and other ecosystem protocols. The platform emphasizes long-term sustainability with a fair launch (no ICO or pre-mine) and a focus on research-driven development.
