What is
Честный запуск (Fair launch)?
Fair launch — запуск без премайна и инсайдерских аллокаций: распределение происходит публично (часто через майнинг).
Честный запуск стремится минимизировать преимущество инсайдеров: нет скрытых распределений до старта, а участие доступно широкой аудитории. Это может снижать конфликт интересов и усиливать доверие к экономике протокола, хотя не гарантирует успеха проекта.
Key Points
- Нет премайна и закрытых аллокаций до старта
- Участие доступно широкой аудитории
- Снижается риск «инсайдерского преимущества»
- Результат всё равно зависит от разработки и спроса
Use Cases
1
Более равный старт распределения актива
2
Снижение давления продаж со стороны инсайдеров
3
Усиление доверия к экономике проекта
Technical Details
Ergo launched on July 1, 2019 with block #1. The treasury receives 7.5% of block rewards (decreasing over time) for ecosystem development, but this is transparent, on-chain, and community-governed - not a pre-mine or founder allocation.

Common questions about this topic
What can I do with Ergo?
Ergo supports a full ecosystem: trade on Spectrum DEX, use SigmaUSD stablecoin, mix transactions with ErgoMixer, collect NFTs on SkyHarbor, mine with GPUs, lend/borrow on DuckPools, bridge to other chains via Rosen, and build dApps with ErgoScript. It's a complete platform for decentralized finance and applications.

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.

Why does Ergo's fair launch matter?
Ergo had no pre-mine, no ICO, no VC allocation. 100% of ERG comes from mining. This means no insiders dumping on you, no VCs controlling governance, no foundation with majority stake. Fair launch creates genuine decentralization - the network belongs to miners and users, not early investors seeking exit liquidity.

What is MEV resistance and why does Ergo have it?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is profit extracted by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions - think front-running and sandwich attacks. Ergo's eUTXO model provides structural MEV resistance: transactions reference specific boxes (UTXOs), making reordering attacks much harder. There's no shared global state to exploit like in account-based chains.
