What is Ergo blockchain?

Ergo is a fair-launched Proof-of-Work blockchain with advanced smart contract capabilities. It combines Bitcoin's security model (UTXO, PoW) with Ethereum-style programmability through the eUTXO model and ErgoScript. No pre-mine, no ICO, no VC control - built by cypherpunks for financial freedom.

• Proof-of-Work with Autolykos (ASIC-resistant, GPU-friendly)
• eUTXO model: Bitcoin security + smart contracts
• Fair launch: no pre-mine, no ICO, no VC allocation
• Privacy via Sigma Protocols (zero-knowledge proofs)
• Storage rent for long-term sustainability
• NiPoPoWs for light clients and sidechains
