Alex is a core dev of the ERGO platform. He worked on NXT (POS). Ergo is dedicated to the original vision of Bitcoin POW. It concentrates on decentralization. The Bitcoin mining pools have been increasingly concentrated. Alex Chepurnoy is not only an Ergo core developer but is also a leading developer, researcher(IOHK) and speaker in crypto-assets and blockchain globally. PoW Mainnet launched on 1 July 2019 Development Team already has 25+ Smart Contract Examples ready for Deployment by Developers: Currently trading on: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/... What are the main points of Ergo? 1. Rigorous research and scientific approach 2. Contractual money 3. New PoW consensus algorithm Autolykos, which was designed in collaboration with The Research Institute. It is the first ASIC-resistant and pool-resistant consensus algorithm to be deployed (mining pools won’t work in Ergo for sake of Decentralization!). Technical details in this paper: https://docs.ergoplatform.com/ErgoPow... 4. Trustless Light Clients with Minimal Resource Requirements: Ergo block header supports NiPoPoWs that enable synchronizing network by downloading 1Mb of data. This is further made possible by the fact Ergo state is authenticated as detailed in this paper from 2017: https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/994.pdf. 5. New Economic Model: Key feature of the new model is miners charge users a fee for any UTXO that remains unmoved in state for 4 years (“storage rent fee”). This accomplishes stable mining revenue to secure network, prevents “state bloat” and enables a short release schedule – Ergo emission fully completes in just 8 years. Details in this paper: https://fc18.ifca.ai/bitcoin/papers/b... 6. Mined from Zero via PoW with no ICO or Pre-mine. It is about a hope to achieve as fair distribution of Ergs as possible to enhance decentralization. 7. Decentralization First 8. Resiliency and Survivability 9. Ergo offers anyone the ability to issue their own tokens (non-native tokens) on the platform and leverage off its security and decentralization. 10. Advanced on-chain governance is built with miners being able to vote on a number of parameters including simple items like block size – gradual changes only to ensure stability. · Website (in Chinese and English): https://ergoplatform.org/ · Forum: https://www.ergoforum.org/ · Explorer https://explorer.ergoplatform.com/ · Short high level intro (5 pages only): https://docs.ergoplatform.com/teaser.pdf (Chinese: https://docs.ergoplatform.com/cn/teas... ) · White Paper I: https://docs.ergoplatform.com/whitepa...
