How to build DeFi on Ergo?

Building DeFi on Ergo starts with understanding the eUTXO model and ErgoScript. Unlike account-based chains, Ergo's box model provides deterministic execution, no MEV by design, and predictable gas costs. Use Oracle Pools for price feeds, and leverage existing patterns from Spectrum Finance and SigmaUSD.

• Learn eUTXO fundamentals - boxes hold value, data, and spending conditions
• Master ErgoScript - Ergo's functional smart contract language
• Integrate Oracle Pools for reliable off-chain data
• Study existing DeFi: Spectrum (DEX), SigmaUSD (stablecoin), DuckPools (lending)
