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.

  • Optional privacy: transparent by default, private when needed
  • ErgoMixer: non-custodial, non-interactive token mixing
  • Sigma Protocols: prove things without revealing data
  • Stealth addresses: hide transaction recipients
  • Programmable: privacy logic in smart contracts
