Why Fair Launch Matters
Ergo vs VC-funded chains
Ergo had no ICO, no premine, no VC allocation. 100% of ERG was distributed through mining. This isn't just idealism - it's the foundation for true decentralization.
Problem
Most modern blockchains launch with massive insider allocations. VCs dump on retail. Founders control governance. 'Decentralization' becomes marketing theater.
Solution
Ergo's fair launch means no insiders to dump, no VCs to appease, no foundation controlling the majority of tokens. The community owns the network from day one.
Step-by-Step Guide
Learn why token distribution matters for long-term decentralization and security.
