What is
Киберпанк (Cypherpunk)?
Cypherpunk — движение/философия, ставящая приватность и свободу в цифровом мире на основу криптографии и открытых протоколов.
Киберпанки продвигают идею, что приватность — это фундаментальное право, а криптография — инструмент защиты от избыточного контроля. В контексте блокчейнов это выражается в самокастоди, устойчивости к цензуре и технологии, которая не требует разрешений для участия.
Key Points
- Приватность как право, криптография как инструмент
- Открытые протоколы и проверяемость
- Самокастоди и устойчивость к цензуре
- Меньше доверия — больше доказуемости

Common questions about this topic
How to escape financial repression with Ergo?
Ergo provides tools for financial sovereignty: self-custody with no third parties, censorship-resistant transactions via PoW, optional privacy with Sigma Protocols, and programmable money without permission. Unlike VC-backed chains, Ergo has no central authority that can freeze funds or comply with sanctions. Your keys, your coins, your freedom.
Solution
Philosophy
Is Ergo a good investment?
This is not financial advice. Ergo has strong fundamentals: fair launch (no VC dump risk), innovative technology (eUTXO, Sigma Protocols, NiPoPoWs), active development, and a cypherpunk ethos. It's a smaller market cap project with higher risk/reward than established chains. Research thoroughly, understand the technology, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Getting Started
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.
