vision which is still the same as back in 2019, but wording and focus could vary from time to time. At this
point I think it would make sense to present Ergo as future of Proof-of-Work. In more detailed view:
* Ergo is still GPU-minable Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency, means anyone can buy it anonymously with electricity using common GPU devices.
* DeFi. Ergo is already #1 PoW cryprocurrency by TVL locked in DeFi.
* As consequence, Ergo ecosystem is capable to serve real-world needs with the help of trustless derivatives, decentralized exchanges, ChainCash etc, on top of high-quality Proof-of-Work collateral.
* Ergo has solutions for mining rewards in the long term when block reward will be tiny ( hot topic in Bitcoin now, will be even hotter around halving-2028 )
* Scalability. Ergo was the first cryptocurrency with log-space mining, and still the only one where blockchain is safely prunable without "moon crypto"
( thanks storage rent, here we rely on hash function only).
* Efficient cryptographic protocols as dapps is still unique value proposition. Recently, there were some breakthoughs for leveraging sigma-protocols for
generic statements in ZK , see e.g. T. Attema's phd ( https://scholarlypublications.universiteitleiden.nl/handle/1887/3619596 ), developments in this area
can be used for building more efficient trustless ZK protocols on Ergo.
* Ergo is going to give birth to SigmaChains, blockchains powered by Ergo's contractual layer, Sigma, EVM alternative for UTXO. See presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj_Hg222s9Y. With trust-minimized (or trustless) pegging that means even more Ergo liquidity locked in DeFi, more development and different developments etc. Also SigmaChains will revitalize Proof-of-Work.

You can listen on the Ergo podcast if that's easier for you, available on most podcast platforms. Here's the Spotify link. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0JW4CW7KJTDkayxYRLy4J9?si=na373iwCQ4iCiPO_kXBZKw
