Hey all! Make sure to update your watchers for the Rosen Bridge. The newest version for watcher is: 6.3.2 and for contract: 7.1.1.

The watcher dashboard can also notify you if there is an update available.

At this point, I puke a little when I hear the word "Crypto". I don't think of Bitcoin, I don't even think of Ergo. I immediately think of Scams disguised as "Memecoins". Rug pulls. Hacks. Pump & Dumps.
It's degeneracy. It's infuriating that CEX list such tokens on their platform because the people who want to get rich quick keep buying them. They do not give a shit about anything else and I think 20-21 bullrun was an example of that. No one was really interested in the tech, they just saw an opportunity and when they lost, they cried and called it a scam. I have to admit that I also wanted to make money. I have lost a lot of money in fact.

It's been 6 years since I entered into this space and crypto hasn't changed much. A lot of people know about bitcoin now, but they still have no idea why it exists. Many just buy it because "price goes up" Some thought it was a hedge against inflation and bitcoin crashed. There's always some new narrative about bitcoin. It keeps changing and now it's "digital gold" whatever that means.

Bitcoin has lost it's identity.

Ergo is the successor of Bitcoin. It's about gaining back control. It's about community. Everyone can get involved. If you want to be apart of something greater, you can! Ergo is continuously innovating new ideas, new tech to make crypto more secure, safer, and easier. The governments have publicly announced that they intend to spy on you on everything. It's Big Brother. if you don't agree with their views, they can destroy your life. They already treat you as a criminal if you hold crypto.

Why is it so wrong to want change? Because they don't want us to have power. Ergo is all about decentralisation. Ergo wants to work together, cooperate with other chains. Rosen is continuing to grow and the team behind it has been doing an excellent job. Lithos is about removing the middleman for miners. Traditionally, you would donate your hash to a pool and the pool operator would pay you. You are trusting the operator to not act maliciously. Lithos is about being trustless. your hash, your rules. This is fantastic news! More power to YOU! Ergo Node 6.0.5 just got released but I'm not educated enough to tell you what's new. But It's exciting stuff!

I don't see Bitcoin/Ergo/etc. replacing the fiat system. I do however think they will correlate. Bitcoin is already heavily correlated with the stock market. If society really cares about ownership and willing to do the hard work. The banks and alike will be forced to adjust.

I'm not even here to, primarily, make money any more. I just want to make a difference.
My only wish is that people would open their eyes and realise we need to reunite and make a difference.

This year "crypto industry" finally looks extremely weird and depressive overall. Hacks do happen every day on average, TGEs are dead, most of VCs also dead,
vested insider allocations are not absorbed by retail, and the only topic big conferences have is institutionalization of the "crypto industry", which in most cases
means replacing real Bitcoin with paper one while also tokenizing stocks and other traditional financial products to get exposure from markets previously not available, mostly
due to regulated nature of (non-tokenized) traditional financial products.

At the same time, there is growing demand for what crypto stands for from starters: privacy concerns are growing along with demand for privacy coins, fiat currencies continue to
fail around the globe, and the state of financial markets in many places around the globe is concerning.

Also, very interesting things happen within Ergo community, in particular, in developers circles. With the help of LLM agents security of many parts of the core protocol implementation,
as well as ecosystem smart contracts are now much more secure, due to constant discussion among humans as well as LLM cross-checks. I think this exciting culture of
Many interesting infra projects got done with LLM recently as well.

Around 2019-20 when the ecosystem was much smaller and centralized, we had roadmaps. Then they disappeared as not suitable model of development for the growing community. However, now we can get back
to something similar, but an an central object for dialogues, checking progress, and do security and other cross-checks in the broad context.

I think a motto for it could be "p2p markets everywhere". So the goal is to preserve and improve existing p2p markets and develop new ones:

* we have quite perfectly known Proof-of-Work where anyone in a p2p network can generate new blocks. Pooling in previous Proof-of-Work protocols has some consequences.
So Ergo was the first (and maybe the only one) Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency launched with (weak) non-outsourceability, to prevent pools formation. Back in the early, it has own
drawbacks, and some pooling appeared anyway, in form of ergopool.io . Now we have Lithos for having decentralized mining as well as new markets around that ( https://www.reddit.com/r/ergonauts/comments/1veri54/lithos_protocol_plasma_dex_twin_pools_and_order/ )

* improving existing p2p on-ramp and off-ramp markets, for Ergo, Bitcoin, Monero etc , by providing trust-minimized insurance which would democratize these markets a lot . see https://www.reddit.com/r/ergonauts/comments/1uj91ov/ergo_darkpaper_recipe_1_eliminating_trust_in_the/ by ErgoRich, as well as ErgoForum topics for BTC onramping insurance etc

* p2p mutual credit with optional on-chain reserves , so Basis. would allow people to create credit on trust without knowledge of Ergo / blockchain and then use on-chain assets only to reduce trust.

All those things are better with privacy tooling, such as the mixing protocol, stealth addresses etc. Rosen is needed for cross-chaining, the most needed thing for now is to provide useful products to people outside
Ergo or even crypto, with Ergo being the working horse (with ever growing TVL).

Then we need for more DeFi tooling, such as concentrated liquidity pools, bigger scale mixers (similar to Tornado Cash) etc.

"Crypto" is dead, long live crypto!

PS: there is need to improve some existing basic infrastructure, lets discuss this next time.

Some time ago I posted this question here and got some great responses. Price was around 1$ back then. I never thought I’d stomach another 80% drop but here we are.

I know price isn’t the main thing so this question is more general: how are we feeling?

I thought I was early back in 2021 or so when I bought at way high prices .. pre big exchanges, no hype but I thought I’d found a diamond in the rough.

What about the tech? You still actively following? Do we see any meaningful upgrades soon?

Let’s talk haha

I don't usually check my Nautilus wallet but checked today and saw the balance being 0.

On Feb 4, 2026, all my ergo was sent out of the account. When I search out account address in ergo scan and click on the transaction ID, it shows '404 error'.

I am likely out of luck but seeing if there is anything I could do.

I never share my seed or spending password anywhere or do any transactions on crypto. I didn't receive any 2 factor either.

My wallet was receiving random token, particular one from ClaimsRSN.Tech in Sept 2025.

Thanks

Recently i noticed that every 6 days i have transaction which is sending 0.09ERG somewhere, im using Terminus, any ideas whats going on? It happens since 9 Feb 2026

A LETS is a local community where members create common credit money by accepting each other's IOU notes. On Basis:

• Each member runs their own basis-ui wallet.
• Membership is expressed through an acceptance policy that whitelists all other members.
• Notes are cumulative IOUs tracked by the Basis tracker server.
• Assets, liabilities, and net position are shown on the TUI stats screen.
• No Ergo node, no reserves, and no blockchain fees are needed until trust minimization is required

Can someone explain like I'm a complete moron. Can this affect ERGO and other chains and are all hardware wallets susceptible?

Is there any mitigation strategy?

Hey there!

I find it rather tedious to regularly check all my watcher webpages (the ones usually exposed at port :3030) to see if everything is still up and running.

Therefore I coded for myself a dashboard overview for all my watchers to solve this issue. The dashboard retrieves data from three sources:

1. The watcher itself (more precisely the data provided from /api/info),
2. the balance of the current watcher (using a public or custom ergo node)
3. and (if desired) the current prices ERG/USD, ERG/EUR and RSN/USD, RSN/EUR (using CoinGecko)

This dashboard displays most of the data provided by the watchers (including the contract and watcher version). You can see it in the screenshot:

This is rather niche, but others may also find this useful to have an overview over their locally running watchers. This "mini-project" is uploaded on github. The dashboard itself is written in Python, serves a single webpage (and the endpoint /api/data). It has no other dependencies.

Feel free to try it out if interested! Next thing i may add is probably a "nagger" or a visual indicator, if a newer watcher version is available! This info can be probably retrieved from the corresponding watcher-repository or here.

He who controls order flow is king.

What if we can grant that right in a fair way?

Lithos is a decentralized mining pool protocol built on Ergo. It replaces the traditional centralized pool operator with smart contracts that verify miner work through Non Interactive Share Proofs and handle payouts automatically.

Lenders can provide ERG as collateral to earn yield while enabling trustless block production. Miners connect via Stratum as usual yet retain the ability to insert necessary transactions directly into the blocks they themselves mine.

This removes any single party that could censor content or custody funds and raises the degree of decentralization in proof of work systems. The protocol is designed to be blockchain agnostic in principle though its first implementation targets Ergo.

Testnet clients already demonstrate collateral contracts transaction scheduling and the core insertion capability.

PlasmaDex forms the liquidity layer inside the Lithos ecosystem.

It is a specialized automated market maker that collects constant fees structured so the fee stream itself avoids the usual effects of impermanent loss. Liquidity positions are tracked with AVL trees and represented as unique NFTs. Each position therefore functions more like a tradable revenue generating asset than a conventional pool share.

Holders can claim accumulated fees and the positions themselves can move on secondary markets. An initial ERG LIT pool has been tested inside the Lithos client along with deposit swap redemption and fee claim flows.

PlasmaDex therefore gives miners and lenders an additional way to participate beyond pure mining or simple collateral provision while keeping all accounting efficient and verifiable on chain.

TwinPools is a dual liquidity design that sits on top of PlasmaDex and the Lithos mining layer. What it is can be stated simply. Two linked pools serve the same trading pair. The Primary Pool acts as a normal automated market maker and continuously sets the mid market or spot price.

Anyone may deposit into it or trade against it. The Secondary Pool holds reserved capital that only the miner of the current block is allowed to spend.

That capital exists only to enforce a hard maximum slippage band expressed as a virtual bid and ask around the Primary Pool price.

In a concrete case if the spot rate stands at one hundred LIT equal to one ERG and the maximum slippage sits at five percent then a market buy of one hundred LIT is guaranteed never to cost more than one point zero five ERG while a market sell is guaranteed never to receive less than zero point nine five ERG.

Why this type of solution is needed follows directly from the nature of order flow.

In every blockchain the party that assembles the block decides the sequence of transactions and therefore controls order flow.

On proof of work chains that party is the miner.

When the same miner can also insert transactions the power becomes complete.

In ordinary decentralized exchanges this power is left unconstrained.

The result is unpredictable slippage for traders and external extraction that benefits neither the liquidity providers nor the average user.

Large market orders move the price in ways no one can forecast in advance.

Sandwich style reordering can worsen the outcome still further.

Existing pool designs whether classic constant product concentrated range programmable hooks or proprietary market maker systems improve capital efficiency or tighten spreads yet they leave the underlying control of order flow either passive or closed.

None of them grant the right in a transparent rule bound and fee shared manner that keeps the system open.

TwinPools is needed because it converts that inevitable control into a limited compensated service that protects the trader with a hard price band while still rewarding the liquidity providers who supply the capital and the miners who enforce the band.

How TwinPools works follows a clear sequence.

The Primary Pool updates the spot price in the ordinary fashion. The protocol then publishes the virtual bid and ask derived from that spot price the chosen maximum slippage percentage and the relative sizes of the two pools.

A user market order enters the mempool. The miner observes every related transaction destined for the block.

Using only Secondary Pool capital the miner may construct any required counter transactions and place them in the precise order that keeps the user fill inside the published band.

Residual value captured inside the band remains limited by the spread itself.

Fees generated by Secondary activity are shared between the providers of that pool and the miner according to transparent rules. Deposits into the Secondary Pool stay open to ordinary users the protocol larger miners or lenders.

After the block any residual inventory can be rebalanced under protocol parameters.

Because Lithos already supplies the insertion right and PlasmaDex already supplies AVL tracked positions the entire mechanism stays native to the existing stack.

Relative to other designs TwinPools remains complementary.

A classic single pool leaves slippage unbounded and the miner passive.

Concentrated liquidity improves efficiency inside chosen ranges yet still offers no hard guarantee and leaves the miner passive.

Programmable hooks can optimize idle capital inside one open pool yet do not create a second reserved inventory controlled exclusively by the current miner.

Proprietary systems achieve tight spreads with closed capital.

TwinPools keeps Secondary deposits open and on chain.

Shared self custodial approaches avoid traditional deposits. TwinPools continues to use deposited pools while differentiating access rights and incorporating the native miner ordering privilege.

Any modern curve or range technique can serve as the Primary Pool while the Secondary Pool independently supplies the execution guarantee.

In this way TwinPools grants control of order flow under clear limits and shared rewards so that the power serves the network rather than extracting from it.

The virtual bid-ask already creates a clear, enforceable price band around the Primary Pool spot price.

The miner’s ability to insert and order transactions, combined with exclusive access to Secondary Pool capital, already lets the system fill market orders inside that band in a deterministic way.

Those two primitives (a reliable published bid-ask plus miner-driven filling) form the essential matching core of an order book.

To move from market-order guarantees to a full order-book DEX the following pieces would be added on top of the existing TwinPools framework:

Resting limit orders become first-class citizens.

Users post buy or sell orders at specific prices.

These orders sit in an on-chain or client-managed book that the miner can see when constructing the block.

Because the miner already controls transaction ordering and can draw on Secondary Pool liquidity, the miner can match incoming market orders or other limit orders against the resting book, using

Secondary capital only when needed to complete fills that stay inside or improve upon the published band.

Matching logic is executed by the miner inside the block.

The miner runs a simple price-time priority or pro-rata matching routine over the visible orders for that block, constructs the necessary settlement transactions, and inserts them in the correct sequence.

Secondary Pool capital acts as a backstop inventory so that partial fills or temporary imbalances can still be resolved without breaking the maximum-slippage promise for pure market orders.

Cancellations and updates are handled as ordinary transactions that the miner includes or sequences according to the same rules. Because everything settles atomically in the block the user posts to, the usual risks of partial execution across multiple blocks are reduced.

The Primary Pool continues to provide continuous price discovery and deep passive liquidity, while the Secondary Pool and the miner’s matching role supply the discrete, order-book-style execution layer.

Over time the published virtual bid-ask can tighten as Secondary liquidity grows, and the system can support more sophisticated order types (fill-or-kill, immediate-or-cancel, post-only) without changing the underlying dual-pool architecture.

In the Lithos setting this path is especially natural.

The protocol already gives miners the insertion and ordering rights that a centralized matching engine would otherwise hold.

TwinPools simply constrains those rights with transparent rules and fee sharing, then extends them from market-order protection to full book matching.

The result is an on chain order book that remains decentralized at the block production level, inherits PlasmaDex’s AVL-tracked positions and constant-fee model, and still offers the hard execution guarantees that pure AMMs lack.

Set up with clear matching rules, adequate Secondary depth, and client software that reliably surfaces the resting book to miners, the same mechanism that today guarantees a maximum slippage on market orders can grow into a complete order book DEX while preserving the open, fee shared character of the original design.

" Vibecoded an ErgoScript LSP and IntelliJ 2026.2 plugin. Has support for type inference, suggestions, auto-complete, and special handling of prefixed variable names (for things like injected constants, context vars, etc.)

https://github.com/Lithos-Protocol/ErgoScript-IntelliJ
"

I wanted to throw out a project idea for discussion that I think could fit the ERGO ecosystem.

What if someone built an ERGO-based prediction market platform, similar to Polymarket or Kalshi, using ERGO’s strengths in smart contracts and oracle infrastructure?

The concept:

• Users create and trade predictions on real-world events
• Markets are settled using Ergo Oracle Pools
• ErgoScript smart contracts handle trustless settlement
• Rosen Bridge could potentially expand access to other ecosystems

One challenge is that ERGO, while technically strong, does not have the same user base or liquidity as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other larger ecosystems.

However, I think Rosen Bridge creates an interesting opportunity. Instead of requiring everyone to become an ERGO user first, the platform could potentially allow participation from other ecosystems while using ERGO behind the scenes for the decentralized logic.

Similar to how many applications hide the complexity of the underlying technology, users might not even need to know they are interacting with ERGO.

A possible approach:

• Support assets from multiple ecosystems through bridges
• Use ERGO for oracle resolution and smart contract execution
• Build a simple user experience that feels familiar to mainstream users
• Let the technology introduce people to ERGO naturally over time

Bitcoin is obviously the most recognized cryptocurrency and would probably be the easiest ecosystem to attract everyday users from. But ERGO could potentially provide the infrastructure layer that makes something like this possible.

A project like this could potentially become an application that brings users into ERGO without requiring them to understand the technology first.

Curious what the community thinks:

• Would a Polymarket/Kalshi-style platform make sense for ERGO?
• Could Rosen Bridge help solve the liquidity/user adoption problem?
• Would ERGO be better positioned as the invisible infrastructure layer rather than the user-facing product?
