What are NiPoPoWs and why do they matter?
NiPoPoWs (Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work) are cryptographic proofs that compress blockchain history. Instead of downloading gigabytes of blocks, light clients can verify the chain with just kilobytes of data. This enables true trustless light wallets, efficient cross-chain bridges, and sidechains - all without trusting third parties.

How to get started with Ergo?
Start by getting a wallet (Nautilus for browser, Terminus for mobile). Back up your seed phrase securely offline. Get some ERG from an exchange (Gate.io, KuCoin) or DEX (Spectrum). Make a test transaction. Then explore: try DeFi on Spectrum, check out NFTs, or dive into the technology if you're a builder.

Where to buy ERG?
ERG is available on centralized exchanges (Gate.io, KuCoin, Bitmart) and decentralized exchanges (Spectrum Finance on Ergo, Rosen Bridge from other chains). For self-custody, buy on an exchange and withdraw to your Nautilus or Terminus wallet. For maximum decentralization, use Spectrum DEX directly with a non-custodial wallet.
