AVL Oracle Pool Now public on Ergo mainnet (been live for 1300+ epochs during testing). 20 price feeds in a single on-chain AVL tree with crypto (all Rosen supported L1s), commodities, and indices (S&P, Dow). Built on EIP-0023 v2 foundations with median-of-3 aggregation across multiple independent price sources. All contracts audited against v2 security tenets. Fully open source. All prices are stored in micro-dollars (USD x 1,000,000). The feed count is expandable via governance vote (Update NFT + 3-of-5 ballot) — new feeds are added to the AVL tree without redeploying contracts. Looking for oracle operators — 26 slots open (4 active). Lightweight daemon (512 MB RAM), pre-built jar available. Operator guide included. GitHub: github.com/cannonQ/AVL-Mu…

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak. He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected. France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy. Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust. Honestly? Understandable. Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

TrufflΣ is a fast, self-custodial mobile trading app and wallet for the Ergo blockchain. It's built for traders who want to act quickly without giving up control — you stay on-chain, you hold your keys, and every swap lands directly in a DEX pool with no middlemen. It supports traditional wallet transctions and connecting to supported dapps via ErgoPay. It supports Spectrum/ErgoDEX liquidity pools for token swaps, and the USE, SigUSD/SigRSV and DexyGold stablecoin protocols for minting and redeeming. Transactions can be signed securely via ErgoPay (recommended), or you can import a mnemonic and sign directly in the app. Warning BETA SOFTWARE: TrufflΣ is currently in beta. Always verify all transaction details and output amounts before confirming. Use at your own risk! As an Open Source project, the community is invited to audit the code for vulnerabilities. Transparency is key to building a secure tool for everyone. github.com/FlyingPig5/tru…

The most important overarching question, whether @ergo_platform will become that GPU-PoW platform that overshadows everything else, regardless of whether one sees it as an investment, as a freedom movement, as a independent decentralized smart transaction layer, etc., is whether it gains a critical mass of AI agents that create momentum. If YES… I won’t say it out loud in a detailed way, but it could overshadow everything that has existed in history so far, even Bitcoin. If NO, it will probably remain more of a niche (and that for humans basically). If one looks at the current state and glances a little into the future and takes into account the latest developments/features, then one sees strong tendencies in a very specific direction. Ergo is the true #2 next to Bitcoin! Bitcoin = gold, efficiency, collateral Ergo = silver, effectiveness, logic, execution Value > Price Few …so very few…! Study Ergo Platform.

As we move past the initial outline laid out in 2017, we move into an era sidechains, of privacy, off chain p2p systems, and monetary expansion on top of trust less systems working towards addressing real world needs and problems. Ultra light weight, trust minimized, and build on solid foundations. 2017 vision was started almost 9 years ago. In 2027 we will lay the vision for the next decade. Ergo is an open source community driven project for alternative finance. Take as much power over the ecosystem as you can.

Ergo Platform outlined in BitcoinTalk thread (2017–2019) ambitious promises for a secure, efficient Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain focused on decentralized finance (DeFi), lightweight operations, and flexible governance. These were rooted in research backed features like sigma protocols, NiPoPoWs, and a "space-scarce economy." As of March 2026 (6.5+ years post mainnet launch on July 1, 2019), Ergo has delivered approximately 90% of these promises, with strong execution on core tech while adapting to real world challenges like market volatility and ecosystem growth. The remaining 10% of claims are being addressed with Lithos, Sigma Chains, and Matrix. These are active and ongoing developments.

The roadmap for $USE integration is a masterclass in how Ergo and Cardano can thrive together. If you want to see Ergo's DeFi suite dominate the cross-chain landscape, this is the catalyst we've been waiting for.

@EgzonFejzullahi Wish I had started mining back when the reward was 75 ERG per block.... I got in about 2 years ago, better late then never. I feel all the hard work the developers and community have put in will soon be rewarded. It is definitely the spirtual successor to $BTC #ERGO

22 days until the #Ergo block reward drops to 3 ERG. I’ve been here since the early days when it was 75 ERG per block. No hype. No VC money. No shortcuts. Just pure PoW, brilliant minds, and a community that never left. What a time to be alive.

@ManaStaking @StableUSE This is very interesting and would be a huge boost for ERGO and all of the related integrations and developments. The Medium post is clear for Event 1, is there any more information related to Event 2 and the Raffle, is it purely donation or are there also incentives?

$USE Algorithmic Stablecoin Part 2: Building DeFi Together Dear Ergo community, It has been a few months since we launched @StableUSE stablecoin. So far, it has performed very well. It has maintained its peg to the dollar as intended, and the bank reserves have been holding up well. The time has come to move to the next phase. For the past few months, I have been working with a very talented team on a completely new DEX design on Cardano. The DEX is currently live and is called Shadowbook. @ShadowbookMM allows the creation of highly liquid trading pairs at a fraction of the cost typically required on traditional AMM DEXs. Currently, it supports multiple trading pairs such as NIGHT/ADA and ADA/USDCx. Shadowbook offers an excellent user experience, as all swaps on the DEX are atomic and executed immediately and settlement happens within the same block. With this development complete, we are ready to bring the best algorithmic stablecoin, $USE, to the best DEX, Shadowbook, and offer the best user experience imaginable. To bootstrap the initial DeFi setup, we need to gather initial liquidity. The efficiency of Shadowbook is 50 times higher compared to traditional AMM-based DEXs. To provide a solid trading experience, we are looking to collect starting liquidity in the event similar to CLB. Events details: There are 2 new community events planned: Event #1 is a CLB-type event to bootstrap stablecoin liquidity on BSC and Cardano. More details about this event can be found in a separate Medium post. Event #2 is a raffle donation event aimed at collecting 18,000 ERG to cover development and integration costs. We will proceed with the integrations if Event 1 reaches its minimum target and Event 2 successfully completes the fundraising goal. Integrations: All USE/USDCx collected during the event will be deployed as cross-chain liquidity on Cardano and Binance Smart Chain. In the case of the success of Events 1 and 2, the Ergo community will receive the following guaranteed integrations: 1 - CLMM pool on BSC (USE/USDT) 2 - Highly liquid trading pairs on Cardano: - USE/USDCx - ADA/USE - NIGHT/USE - rsERG/USDCx - rsERG/USDM - USDM/USE - ...and more For small and medium-sized trades, $USE will become one of the most liquid stablecoins on Cardano, competing and often surpassing $USDCx and other stablecoins. Yes, you are hearing it right — the bid-ask spread on the ADA/USE trading pair will likely be better than what existing Cardano stablecoins may offer. The above integrations open paths to: - $USE listing on one or multiple Cardano lending protocols -Direct purchase of $USE and $rsERG from a Coinbase wallet with $USDC via the usdcx bridge portal -Cross-chain stablecoin lending/borrowing arbitrage -Stablepool liquidity farming -Integration with Midnight ... and many more DeFI possibilities ERGO users have the ability to significantly expand Ergo DeFi suite with an industry top user experience

🌉 Rosen Bridge weekly update 🌄 Rosen Expansion - Firo and Handshake integration progress from the previous report: - Integration into the guard-service repository: - (Merged) Implementing FiroChain - (Under Review) Implementing FiroRpcNetwork - (Under Review) Implementing HandshakeChain 🧪 Rosen Test (QA) - Our test milestone focusing on the updates of the watcher and guard-service is almost done. 🛠️ rosen-bridge/utils - Address Manager is a new package that handles the validation and encoding of the addresses. the rosen-bridge/rosen-extractor package no longer depends directly on the rosen-bridge/address-codec package and instead, the AddressManager singleton should be initialized (Active Branch). 💓 rosen-bridge/health-check - Fix warn message problem in permit health-check 🛡️ rosen-bridge/guard-service - Fix npm version in Dockerfile - Fix two circular dependencies - Fix SUPPORTED_CHAINS variable (although the order does not matter in the guard-service, it should be consistent between all packages and repositories). 🛠️rosen-bridge/rosen-sdk - evm chains integrated into rosen-sdk - The bitcoin-runes integrated and it's under test

OK, MAGA. Russia is giving Iran intelligence to help target American forces. Ukraine is offering to help defend American troops from Iranian drones. So tell me again: which one is the “enemy,” and which one is the ally?

Secure & Eco-Friendly PoW #Ergo runs on Autolykos, a GPU-friendly, ASIC-resistant PoW algorithm. Mineable by anyone, energy-efficient, and battle-tested. BTC-grade security + built-in privacy. In 2026, with sustainability in focus, this draws serious miners and holders.

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X. Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch. Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp. And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO. Yes, this is oligarchy.

Full Interoperability: Bridges to Everywhere Rosen Bridge connects #Ergo to #Cardano, #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and beyond. Supports Runes, wrapped assets, cross-chain flows. Not an isolated chain—liquidity flows freely. In the multi-chain era of 2025, this drives adoption and TVL.

Fair Launch & No VC Overlords #Ergo had zero pre-mine and no privileged investors. Launched via open ICO in 2019 with equitable distribution. Loyal community, no whale dumps. In a bull run, fair-launched gems like this hold value and explode. Real decentralization!

The crypto community was looking for a savior; the Trump family was just looking for a new line of credit and saw an easy mark. I’ve spent a lot of time putting this together because its important that people know the reality is much darker and uglier than the "pro-crypto" headlines suggest. My new piece, The Great Crypto Heist, is a full breakdown of how the industry didn't just get a seat at the table, it got taken over. The article goes over all the moves that got us here: from secret half-billion-dollar deals with foreign royals to the cynical policy changes that traded away the industry's independence for a family revenue split. If you want to understand how a movement built on decentralization became a private family ATM, and see exactly how they turned the entire crypto industry into a family grift, you need to read this.

$erg is up 15% in 24 hours but is still way undervalued compared to the great ecosystem of utxo dapps it is building, including the most important tool to onboard new users with @RosenBridge_erg
