What is

ErgoMixer?

A non-custodial mixing service on Ergo that uses Sigma Protocols to break transaction links for privacy.

ErgoMixer is a non-custodial coin mixing application that uses Sigma Protocols to provide transaction privacy. Unlike centralized mixers, you never give up custody of your funds. ErgoMixer breaks the link between sending and receiving addresses, making transaction history difficult to trace while remaining compliant-friendly through selective disclosure.

Key Points

  • Non-custodial (you keep your keys)
  • Uses Sigma Protocols for ZK proofs
  • Breaks transaction link chains
  • Token mixing supported
  • No trusted third party
  • Selective disclosure possible

Use Cases

1

Breaking transaction history links

2

Privacy for large transactions

3

Receiving payments privately

4

Protecting financial privacy

Technical Details

ErgoMixer uses ring signatures and Sigma Protocols. Users join mixing pools where outputs are indistinguishable. The ZK proofs ensure you can only withdraw what you deposited without revealing which input was yours. Multiple rounds increase privacy.

Getting Started

How private is Ergo blockchain?

Ergo is not private by default like Monero, but offers powerful optional privacy tools. ErgoMixer provides non-interactive, non-custodial mixing. Sigma Protocols enable zero-knowledge proofs in smart contracts. Stealth addresses hide recipients. The key difference: Ergo's privacy is programmable - you choose when and how much to reveal.
