Can Ergo transactions be traced?

By default, Ergo transactions are public like Bitcoin. However, Ergo provides privacy tools: ErgoMixer for transaction mixing, Sigma Protocols for zero-knowledge proofs, and stealth addresses. Privacy is optional but powerful - you can prove things about data without revealing the data itself.

  • Default: Public blockchain (like Bitcoin)
  • ErgoMixer: Mix transactions for privacy
  • Sigma Protocols: Zero-knowledge proofs
  • Stealth addresses: Hide recipients
  • Optional privacy: Choose when needed
  • Can prove compliance without revealing details
