🚨 ERGO 6.0 IS ALMOST HERE — A LANDMARK IN DECENTRALIZED ENGINEERING 🚨 ERGO $ERGAfter 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. submitted by /u/slasherzx |
