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.

How-to
Getting Started

Is Ergo a good investment?

This is not financial advice. Ergo has strong fundamentals: fair launch (no VC dump risk), innovative technology (eUTXO, Sigma Protocols, NiPoPoWs), active development, and a cypherpunk ethos. It's a smaller market cap project with higher risk/reward than established chains. Research thoroughly, understand the technology, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

What are Sigma Protocols and how do they work?

Sigma Protocols are zero-knowledge proof systems that let you prove statements about data without revealing the data itself. On Ergo, they're built into ErgoScript, enabling privacy-preserving smart contracts. You can prove you own funds, meet conditions, or belong to a group - all without exposing your identity or exact values.

Why does Ergo's fair launch matter?

Ergo had no pre-mine, no ICO, no VC allocation. 100% of ERG comes from mining. This means no insiders dumping on you, no VCs controlling governance, no foundation with majority stake. Fair launch creates genuine decentralization - the network belongs to miners and users, not early investors seeking exit liquidity.
