Introduction
AERGO is a next‑generation, enterprise‑grade blockchain platform designed to help businesses build, deploy, and scale decentralized applications. By combining the security and immutability of a public chain with the privacy and performance of permissioned networks, AERGO delivers the best of both worlds—and rewards you with AERGO tokens for participating in its ecosystem.
1. What Makes AERGO Unique
- Hybrid Architecture
- Public & Private Chains: Deploy dApps on a private network and anchor finality on the public AERGO mainnet for trust and auditability.
- Interchain Compatibility: Merkle Bridge enables seamless two‑way swaps between ERC‑20 AERGO tokens and native mainnet coins.
- SQL‑Based Smart Contracts
- Write contracts in familiar SQL syntax (Aergo SQL), compile to WASM for lightning‑fast execution, and integrate smart oracles for off‑chain data feeds.
- dPOS Governance & Staking
- Delegate your tokens to trusted block producers or run a node yourself—earn block rewards, vote on protocol upgrades via the AERGO Agora DAO, and shape the network’s roadmap.
