Is Ergo anonymous?

Not by default, but it can be. Base Ergo transactions are pseudonymous (addresses visible, not names). For anonymity, use ErgoMixer to break transaction links, Sigma Protocols for zero-knowledge proofs, and proper operational security. Ergo offers 'privacy on demand' rather than always-on privacy like Monero.

  • Pseudonymous by default (addresses, not names)
  • ErgoMixer: Break transaction links
  • Sigma Protocols: Prove without revealing
  • Privacy is optional, not forced
  • Better for selective disclosure
  • Operational security still matters
