Build a DeFi App on Ergo
From concept to mainnet in weeks, not months
Ergo's eUTXO model eliminates entire classes of DeFi vulnerabilities. No reentrancy attacks, predictable fees, and parallel execution. Build secure DeFi that actually works.
Problem
Traditional DeFi on account-based chains is plagued by exploits, unpredictable gas costs, and MEV extraction. Developers spend more time on security audits than building features.
Solution
Ergo's eUTXO model provides deterministic execution, no reentrancy by design, and MEV resistance. ErgoScript is expressive yet auditable. Build once, deploy with confidence.
Step-by-Step Guide
Learn how boxes, registers, and ErgoScript work together. This mental model shift is crucial for secure DeFi.
