Ergo NEWS $ERG

After hardening comes the blossoming! Ergonauts have spent years on securing the protocols and finding a unique identity. And now, while the "crypto" is stuck in an identity crisis and getting through the hack season, Ergonauts are developing tools to thrive and rework monetary systems around the world in the grassroots powered ways for real. Let's start with covering a few utilities made by community members recently! For developers: Cheese Enthusiast 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 For node runners and oracle operators, netim made the lumen tool: lumen — living pulse of your Ergo node Real-time dashboard for node & oracle runners. Not another RPC table — something you can *see*. Live https://ergolumen.net https://ergolumen.net/oracles What you get • 3D Network Orbit + World Map • Blocks, mempool, metrics, real miners • Oracles: ERG/USD · ERG/XAU • Connect *your* node via Bridge (Docker, no open ports) Code https://github.com/from-ufa/lumen --- Need testers Node runners Settings → Connect my node → Docker next to Ergo → switch to My Node Oracle runners Open /oracles → check LIVE/STALE, epoch, lag Bugs / screens / ideas → here or GitHub Issues For Rosen watchers, OKIntention made the Rosen Watcher Dashboard : A lightweight, zero-dependency web dashboard for monitoring your Rosen Bridge watchers at a glance. Point it at your running watcher instances and optionally to your ergo node and a dark-mode single-page overview with auto-refreshing will be displayed Everything runs on the Python standard library. No dependencies needed. Requires Python 3.9 or later. https://github.com/OKIntention/rsn_watcher_dashboard

The cryptocurrency space is changing rapidly in 2026. Ergo ecosystem is no exception. Rosen bridge experienced 84 attack attempts yesterday, with no assets being lost. A lot of probing by hackers or just curious agents seen daily. Community members as well as outside security researchers are sending security reports regularly. Corporate "blockchain products" fear those changes. They fear the atmosphere of chaos and distrust. We, Ergonauts, know that this always been de-facto state of permissionless pseudonymous environments. And in the middle of digital chaos we're still committed to empowering grassroots movements as stated in the Ergo Manifesto. We welcome hackers and researchers to join the Ergo movement. Study open-source tools. Feed your agents with Ergo related MCPs. Join Wed. developer chats. Fight for freedom!

Basis Whitepaper Released! Since 2010, the biggest issue in real-world use of cryptocurrencies was creating new money based on economic demand without trusting any central authority. The issue is solved now, and the only solution is on Ergo! "In this work, we propose Basis, a monetary framework in which both local trust-based currencies as well as global blockchain-based trust-minimized ones can coexist via smart contract powered reserves needed when there is no trust..." Check it, anon! An implementation is coming as well. https://github.com/BetterMoneyLabs/chaincash/blob/master/docs/basis/basis.pdf

Matrix: fast confirmations coming to Ergo! In 2026, it is known that Proof-of-Work consensus protocols, via such extensions as Prism, Parallel Proof-of-Work, or TailStorm, can achieve unbeatable throughput and also fast confirmation times. After research, ideas from such protocols were adopted for Ergo setting and resulted into Matrix design. Matrix whitepaper was published few months ago https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/blob/e249708f7f26d024aded12005313b02bec1d5327/papers/inputblocks/main.pdf . And recently, first public Ergo reference client for Matrix devnet got released:https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases/tag/v6.5.0-RC1 ! We invite all the blockchain tech and Proof-of-Work enthusiasts to help with testing and reviewing the whitepaper and the code! Matrix will allow for fast confirmations and higher throughput .

First Basis IOU note passed off-the-grid over Meshtastic ! Two Ergo enthusiasts, kushti and Mad Spectator, successfully tested Basis note transfer over Meshtastic. In a forest with not Internet connection available, IOU note was passed, and the note is redeemable once Internet connection is there. The assumption was that two participants Alice and Bob dont have Internet connection during trade, but can have it after. So Alice is signing a note and passing it as JSON to Bob over mesh network (Meshtastic powered) There was issue with 200 bytes limit. In the test message was about 670 bytes and so I splitted JSON manually to send over mashtastic ui. But it is possible to optimize it and have it under 200 bytes. With this note, also witnessed by basis tracker, redemption is possible when Internet available. In a next test, a core assumption would be that both Alice and Bob do not have Internet connection and only tracker has permanent one. For starters, tracker is fully trusted, then we will relax trust by using NIPoPoWs / ergo headers distribution around mesh, Merkle proofs for submitted transactions etc. Then we can consider even more complex setting where even tracker has connection occasionally, so also on spv and/or nipopows So there will be much more off the grid tests to cover all the real world off the grid scenarios but in many cases what is more or less done as PoC is okay. So we can start reach communities from now. A paper on Basis got accepted into RAMICS'26 conference on alternative currencies and monetary studies, see accepted papers at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FdbzbDSx-qHJqLva1_QWqoKiEm2tRS_H/view . The paper will be used as Basis whitepaper as well and will be published in coming days.

In less than 24 hours there will be final emission reduction from 6 to 3 ERG per block (halving) . After that, tail emission will be stable for many years to come. Shrinking emission would provide more incentives to community to work in many ways on increasing demand for ERG. Starting with X spaces on USE phase 2 launch by Richie https://x.com/ManaStaking/status/2039759298327175358 , there are a lot of efforts within the community we're going to announce!

Thanks to about 42,000 followers on CoinGecko, ERG is trending there again! The community is powerful but needs for your input. Bookmark ERG on CoinGecko, join Reddit discussions https://www.reddit.com/r/ergonauts/ , follow Ergo-related accounts on X and other social media!

Next Ergo Summit will take place in late September, the main topics are shaping p2p economies for humans and AI agents, next generation stablecoins and on-chain financial infrastructure, and core&ecosystem development till 2030.
