About This Infographic

This infographic answers 'Who Actually Needs Ergo?' by presenting four key personas around the glowing Ergo Sigma symbol. Each persona represents a real user group that benefits from Ergo's unique design.

Builder/Dev wants a formally modeled stack with eUTXO and ZK, without governance-token drama. Miner/PoW Maxi looks for honest Proof-of-Work with no premine, no VC and ASIC resistance. Privacy-Focused User needs a blend of auditability and privacy without hacks, wrappers or trusted middlemen.

Cypherpunk OG wants a chain they are not ashamed to show people who care about the original crypto ethos. The footer ties it together: Ergo is where miners, builders, privacy users and cypherpunks actually overlap.
