What is
DAO?
DAO — форма децентрализованного управления, где правила и голосования задаются контрактами и токеномикой.
DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) — набор правил управления и распределения решений, который реализуется через смарт‑контракты и голосование. Качество DAO зависит от дизайна: кто имеет право голоса, как считается кворум, какие есть защита от захвата и как исполняются решения.
Key Points
- Голосование и правила управляются контрактами
- Дизайн важен: кворум, пороги, защита от захвата
- Риски: атаки на управление, низкая явка, централизация токена
- Исполнение решений должно быть прозрачно
Use Cases
1
Управление протоколами и параметрами
2
Распределение грантов/бюджета
3
Коллективное принятие решений в сообществе
Technical Details
Ergo DAOs use smart contracts to define governance rules, voting mechanisms, and treasury controls. The eUTXO model ensures deterministic proposal execution. Sigma Protocols can enable anonymous voting while still proving vote validity - a unique Ergo advantage.

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.

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.

How do NFTs work on Ergo?
Ergo NFTs are native tokens with quantity of 1, making each unique. Unlike Ethereum where NFTs need smart contracts, Ergo NFTs are first-class protocol citizens. Mint for minimal fees (~0.001 ERG), trade on SkyHarbor marketplace, and enjoy full eUTXO security. NFTs can include rich metadata and royalties.
