Ergo 6.0 soft fork has been supported.

🚨 ERGO 6.0 IS ALMOST HERE — A LANDMARK IN DECENTRALIZED ENGINEERING 🚨

ERGO $ERG

After two years of meticulous development, testing, and coordination, the Ergo 6.0 soft fork is officially activating on mainnet — with over 92.97% of miners signaling support.

This isn’t just a routine upgrade. This is a paradigm shift for Proof-of-Work blockchains.

🔓 What Ergo 6.0 Unlocks:

🧠 Sub-Second Block Intervals

•Thanks to architectural changes, Ergo can now process blocks in fractions of a second — dramatically improving throughput and responsiveness without sacrificing decentralization.

🔗 Sigmachains

•One of the most groundbreaking innovations in blockchain tech: Sigmachains enable parallel execution chains secured by Ergo’s PoW Layer-1.

•This unlocks scalability, app-specific chains, and new design possibilities — all without resorting to PoS or rollups.

🌍 Decentralized Mining via @LithosProtocol

•Ergo 6.0 lays the foundation for Lithos, a decentralized mining pool protocol. •This removes reliance on centralized mining pools and promotes true miner sovereignty.

🔐 Stronger Layer-1 Privacy + Security

•Enhancements to ErgoScript, Sigma protocols, and oracle infrastructure give developers more power to build secure, expressive, and private smart contracts — without sacrificing auditability.

🧱 Backward Compatibility + Layered Evolution

•This is a soft fork — no chain splits, no centralized control. Just a network of aligned nodes and miners steadily improving the protocol together.

💬 Why This Matters:

In a world dominated by centralized VC-backed chains and inefficient Layer-2 workarounds, Ergo stands apart: •No pre-mine •No ICO •No corporate steering •Just brilliant open-source engineering and true decentralization

Ergo 6.0 is proof that Proof-of-Work can evolve — and scale.

Let the world watch. PoW is not dead. It’s reborn. On Ergo.

Also yesterday Ergo had an emission reduction from 15 to 12 ergo per block.
