Is Ergo safe and secure?

Yes, Ergo is highly secure. It uses Proof-of-Work (the same security model as Bitcoin), has never been hacked, and the eUTXO model eliminates entire classes of smart contract vulnerabilities. The code is open-source and peer-reviewed. Your security also depends on proper seed phrase management.

  • PoW consensus: proven security model (like Bitcoin)
  • Never been successfully attacked
  • eUTXO prevents reentrancy attacks
  • Open-source, peer-reviewed code
  • No central point of failure
  • Your security: protect your seed phrase!
