How private is Ergo blockchain?
Ergo is not private by default like Monero, but offers powerful optional privacy tools. ErgoMixer provides non-interactive, non-custodial mixing. Sigma Protocols enable zero-knowledge proofs in smart contracts. Stealth addresses hide recipients. The key difference: Ergo's privacy is programmable - you choose when and how much to reveal.

Can Ergo transactions be traced?
By default, Ergo transactions are public like Bitcoin. However, Ergo provides privacy tools: ErgoMixer for transaction mixing, Sigma Protocols for zero-knowledge proofs, and stealth addresses. Privacy is optional but powerful - you can prove things about data without revealing the data itself.

What is storage rent on Ergo?
Storage rent is Ergo's solution to state bloat. Boxes (UTXOs) that remain unspent for 4+ years can have a small fee deducted by miners. This incentivizes cleaning up unused state, provides long-term miner revenue after emission ends, and keeps the blockchain sustainable. Lost coins eventually return to circulation instead of being locked forever.
