Optional Privacy

Σ-protocols

Privacy must remain an option to protect autonomy. Privacy is the ability to create barriers and erect boundaries to create a space for the individual. It is up to each what borders and boundaries they choose to make. This enables new models of financial interaction, underpinned by a safe and rich scripting language, ErgoScript and flexible and powerful Zero-Knowledge proofs

WHAT MAKES ERGO UNIQUE

RESEARCH-LED AND REAL-WORLD FOCUSED
Ergo draws on ten years of blockchain development, complementing tried and tested principles with the best peer-reviewed academic research into cryptography, consensus models and digital currencies. We start with solid blockchain basics and implement new and powerful cryptography natively.
POWERFUL AND SAFE
Ergo provides superior support for real-world financial agreements. Ergo can support versatile dApps that run predictably, with known costs, and don’t have any of the dangers of unrestricted functionality. Ergo’s smart contracts allow us to execute wide-ranging tasks and can be Turing complete, but we always know in advance how much the code will cost and whether it will run successfully.
INTELLIGENT AND STRAIGHTFORWARD
Sigma Protocols (Σ-Protocols) are the foundation of Ergo’s smart contracts. They allow for a class of efficient zero-knowledge protocols that enable us to implement sophisticated tasks that would otherwise be impossible, risky, or expensive. Welcome to self-sovereign application-level privacy: trustless scripts that can be used to access mixers or other functionality without any third parties required.
SECURE AND ACCESSIBLE
Ordinary users who do not run a full node should enjoy the same security benefits as miners. Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work (NIPOPOWS) allow us to make and verify transactions with complete confidence without needing the storage, bandwidth and time required to download the full blockchain. As little as 1 MB of data is necessary, meaning you can use any device.
