About This Infographic

ErgoScript is built on the eUTXO foundation, where outputs carry spending conditions, enabling stateless validation and fine-grained control.

Determinism, security and flexibility are core design principles — avoiding infinite loops while staying expressive enough for complex financial logic.

Sigma Protocols provide zero-knowledge capabilities that power zk-privacy for anonymous transactions, voting and DeFi positions.

Key Points

eUTXO Foundation: outputs carry spending conditions, enabling stateless validation.

Design Principles: Determinism (predictability), Security (no infinite loops), Flexibility (powerful language).

Sigma Protocols: zero-knowledge proofs for anonymous transactions and voting.

Weapon of Decentralization: DEXes, algorithmic stablecoins, DAOs.

Privacy and security as practical tools for cypherpunks.
