Common questions about this topic
How to get started with Ergo?
Start by getting a wallet (Nautilus for browser, Terminus for mobile). Back up your seed phrase securely offline. Get some ERG from an exchange (Gate.io, KuCoin) or DEX (Spectrum). Make a test transaction. Then explore: try DeFi on Spectrum, check out NFTs, or dive into the technology if you're a builder.

Getting Started
What is ErgoScript and how does it work?
ErgoScript is Ergo's smart contract language - a Scala-based, functional language that compiles to ErgoTree for on-chain execution. Unlike Solidity, ErgoScript is not Turing-complete by design, ensuring predictable execution costs and easier formal verification. It's powerful enough for complex DeFi yet safe enough to audit.

Technology
Why does Ergo's lack of VC funding matter?
VC-funded chains have misaligned incentives: VCs need exits, so they push for hype over substance, centralized control, and token dumps. Ergo's fair launch means no insider allocations, no pressure to pump price, and no corporate governance. The community controls Ergo, not investors seeking returns.

How to escape financial repression with Ergo?
Ergo provides tools for financial sovereignty: self-custody with no third parties, censorship-resistant transactions via PoW, optional privacy with Sigma Protocols, and programmable money without permission. Unlike VC-backed chains, Ergo has no central authority that can freeze funds or comply with sanctions. Your keys, your coins, your freedom.
