Ergo is an established Proof-of-Work blockchain using the eUTXO model, originally launched for DeFi and privacy.

The project is now pivoting positioning toward "autonomous agent economy" infrastructure with tools for verifiable work receipts and programmable settlement.

While the agent economy narrative is fresh (tweets from May-June 2026), Ergo itself has existed since 2009 account creation, has a live mainnet token $ERG, and represents a mature L1 rebranding rather than an early-stage discovery.

Green flags: Real technical infrastructure: PoW/eUTXO model with ErgoScript for programmable conditions · Working mainnet with live token $ERG, Rosen Bridge, and ErgoDex ecosystem · Concrete product pivot toward agent economy (MCP tools, receipt verification, testnet proofs) · Whitepaper, docs, GitHub, and multi-channel community presence

Red flags: Already established: account from 2009, mainnet live, existing DeFi ecosystem—not early-stage · Rebranding existing chain rather than new project (agent economy narrative overlay on mature L1) · Small follower count (4.1k) relative to age suggests limited traction despite longevity
