First Basis redemption transaction for offchain note explorer.ergoplatform.com/transactions/1…, with Bob redeeming a note signed by Alice (& also witnessed by tracker). Next, demos for trading over mesh, and agent to agent debt creation & clearing

JUST IN: Start9 announced an open source router. Open source hardware. Open source firmware. Open source OS. No tracking. No data collection. No hidden code.

Open privacy tools > Private assets Reusable modular and composable programmability is broadly more powerful than singular instances. Ergo: A Platform for Cryptographic Applications youtube.com/watch?v=h6g5Wa…

@upwindstrategy @beampaywallet Modular privacy stacks (Curve Trees + DHTuple + STARKs) are quite interesting to consider here. Primitives that let you build modular privacy are broadly powerful. Turn privacy as a token or feature into just privacy as common infrastructure.

honestly quite far; curve trees haven't been implemented on-chain on any other eUTXO chain yet. Cardano doesn't have the 256-bit modular arithmetic opcodes we used (EIP-0050), and Bitcoin obviously can't do this at all. even on account-based chains most privacy implementations still rely on zk-SNARKs with trusted setups. this is trustless, no ceremony needed, just pure elliptic curve math on the native secp256k1 curve that Ergo already uses

Open source MIT licensed. Includes whitepaper , tests, and testnet spend scripts. Interesting for Ergo builders exploring advanced privacy. Curve Trees on Ergo. Privacy preserving set membership verification via eUTXO accumulator. First on chain Curve Tree impl on any eUTXO chain. Worth a look.

They used to be called "private citizens" and "public servants" for a reason. Today, surveillance has inverted the power dynamic.

@ergo_platform no trusted setup needed — unlike zk-SNARK approaches like Tornado Cash. it runs on Ergo's native secp256k1 curve, so it fits naturally into existing Sigma protocol flows testnet spend tx is live if anyone wants to verify: testnet.ergoplatform.com/en/transaction…

If you’re building something privacy focused on Ergo (mixers, private DeFi, credentials, etc.), curve trees are the kind of primitive that unlocks bigger anonymity sets without blowing up transaction sizes or verification costs. Great work definitely pioneering for the platform.

Why though? Ergo is 2000X more efficient. 🤔

What is this? Well, the one thing that was lacking was just solved.

The foundation of self sovereign money is self sovereign hardware with the ability to control what software you allow on your property. In a digital world if you don’t own your hardware you own little.

Raffle V2 upgrades the original immutable, no-token public good raffle launched in 2021 on Ergo. It now supports multiple tokens, coins, and blockchains via Rosen Bridge for broader use. And open source! #RosenBridge #Ergo #Multichain #DiscoverErgo $RSN #PoCoP #OpenSource

Maybe centralising the entire world on like 5 companies that can all simultaneously get flipped into switching on the panopticon was a bad idea.

We thought we were tracking the stablecoin freeze grid. We missed the incinerator. An anon pointed out a data gap on stables.rip. We dug into the TRON and ETH smart contracts and found something brutal. Tether doesn't just freeze your funds; they actively seize and burn them (DestroyedBlackFunds). The on-chain balance shows $0, masking the actual seizure. The massive data upgrade we just pushed: 🔹 TRON: Bypassed the 500-event sync cap. Backfilled 6,104 AddedBlackList events. 🔹 ETH: Fixed indexing pagination limits. Found 200+ hidden destruction events. 🔹 Alert Bot: Fixed rate-limiting. Batch freezes are now summarized, no more spam. 📊 Before: $2.12B frozen across 5,865 addresses. 🚨 After: $3.23B across 9,462 addresses. That missing $1.1 Billion gap? Mostly funds that were frozen, seized, and burned out of existence. We now track it all. Huge shoutout to the anon who caught this. This is why we build in public. Don't trust, verify.

"Nothing to hide" changes to "Nowhere to hide" for your kids and grandkids.

In the 90s Phil Zimmermann released PGP, software that gave ordinary people the ability to communicate privately. The U.S. government investigated him for allegedly exporting munitions. The 1st Crypto War had begun. Fast forward to today, and the war against privacy rages on.

You shouldn't have to upload your ID to the Internet just to use a computer. That is insane.

Weekly Update on Matrix (sub-blocks): * fixed more todos , mostly in p2p layer, like DoS prevention, ever growing caches etc * more tests done * a non-mining peer now run (locally) in the public testnet. Its version set to 6.5.0 * updated 213 devnet seed node with a fresh build, will provide it after testing a bit

@Armeanio I started to work in it 👍🏻
