How to build DeFi on Ergo?
Building DeFi on Ergo starts with understanding the eUTXO model and ErgoScript. Unlike account-based chains, Ergo's box model provides deterministic execution, no MEV by design, and predictable gas costs. Use Oracle Pools for price feeds, and leverage existing patterns from Spectrum Finance and SigmaUSD.

What is storage rent on Ergo?
Storage rent is Ergo's solution to state bloat. Boxes (UTXOs) that remain unspent for 4+ years can have a small fee deducted by miners. This incentivizes cleaning up unused state, provides long-term miner revenue after emission ends, and keeps the blockchain sustainable. Lost coins eventually return to circulation instead of being locked forever.

What is Rosen Bridge?
Rosen Bridge is Ergo's cross-chain bridge protocol for trustless asset transfers between blockchains. It connects Ergo with Cardano, Bitcoin (Runes), and Dogecoin. Unlike centralized bridges, Rosen uses a decentralized watcher network and multi-sig security. Bring assets to Ergo's DeFi ecosystem or move ERG to other chains.

What is storage rent on Ergo?
Storage rent is Ergo's mechanism for long-term sustainability. Boxes (UTXOs) that remain unspent for ~4 years pay a small fee, which goes to miners. This prevents state bloat, recirculates lost coins, and ensures miners have income even after emission ends. It's like paying rent for blockchain storage space.
