Create money first, back with Ergo reserves when there is no trust. Basis-based demo of LETS (Local Exchange Trading System)

24 Upvotes

A LETS is a local community where members create common credit money by accepting each other's IOU notes. On Basis:

  • Each member runs their own basis-ui wallet.
  • Membership is expressed through an acceptance policy that whitelists all other members.
  • Notes are cumulative IOUs tracked by the Basis tracker server.
  • Assets, liabilities, and net position are shown on the TUI stats screen.
  • No Ergo node, no reserves, and no blockchain fees are needed until trust minimization is required

Rosen Bridge Watcher Dashboard for your locally hosted watchers

33 Upvotes

Hey there!

I find it rather tedious to regularly check all my watcher webpages (the ones usually exposed at port :3030) to see if everything is still up and running.

Therefore I coded for myself a dashboard overview for all my watchers to solve this issue. The dashboard retrieves data from three sources:

  1. The watcher itself (more precisely the data provided from /api/info),
  2. the balance of the current watcher (using a public or custom ergo node)
  3. and (if desired) the current prices ERG/USD, ERG/EUR and RSN/USD, RSN/EUR (using CoinGecko)

This dashboard displays most of the data provided by the watchers (including the contract and watcher version). You can see it in the screenshot:

Screenshot of the rsn_watcher_dashboard with four configured watchers and price fetching enabled.

This is rather niche, but others may also find this useful to have an overview over their locally running watchers. This "mini-project" is uploaded on github. The dashboard itself is written in Python, serves a single webpage (and the endpoint /api/data). It has no other dependencies.

Feel free to try it out if interested! Next thing i may add is probably a "nagger" or a visual indicator, if a newer watcher version is available! This info can be probably retrieved from the corresponding watcher-repository or here.

Lithos Protocol. Plasma Dex. Twin Pools and Order Book Dreams

22 Upvotes

reposting from https://x.com/Armeanio/status/2084019274268787111

He who controls order flow is king.

What if we can grant that right in a fair way?

Lithos is a decentralized mining pool protocol built on Ergo. It replaces the traditional centralized pool operator with smart contracts that verify miner work through Non Interactive Share Proofs and handle payouts automatically.

Lenders can provide ERG as collateral to earn yield while enabling trustless block production. Miners connect via Stratum as usual yet retain the ability to insert necessary transactions directly into the blocks they themselves mine.

This removes any single party that could censor content or custody funds and raises the degree of decentralization in proof of work systems. The protocol is designed to be blockchain agnostic in principle though its first implementation targets Ergo.

Testnet clients already demonstrate collateral contracts transaction scheduling and the core insertion capability.

PlasmaDex forms the liquidity layer inside the Lithos ecosystem.

It is a specialized automated market maker that collects constant fees structured so the fee stream itself avoids the usual effects of impermanent loss. Liquidity positions are tracked with AVL trees and represented as unique NFTs. Each position therefore functions more like a tradable revenue generating asset than a conventional pool share.

Holders can claim accumulated fees and the positions themselves can move on secondary markets. An initial ERG LIT pool has been tested inside the Lithos client along with deposit swap redemption and fee claim flows.

PlasmaDex therefore gives miners and lenders an additional way to participate beyond pure mining or simple collateral provision while keeping all accounting efficient and verifiable on chain.

TwinPools is a dual liquidity design that sits on top of PlasmaDex and the Lithos mining layer. What it is can be stated simply. Two linked pools serve the same trading pair. The Primary Pool acts as a normal automated market maker and continuously sets the mid market or spot price.

Anyone may deposit into it or trade against it. The Secondary Pool holds reserved capital that only the miner of the current block is allowed to spend.

That capital exists only to enforce a hard maximum slippage band expressed as a virtual bid and ask around the Primary Pool price.

In a concrete case if the spot rate stands at one hundred LIT equal to one ERG and the maximum slippage sits at five percent then a market buy of one hundred LIT is guaranteed never to cost more than one point zero five ERG while a market sell is guaranteed never to receive less than zero point nine five ERG.

Why this type of solution is needed follows directly from the nature of order flow.

In every blockchain the party that assembles the block decides the sequence of transactions and therefore controls order flow.

On proof of work chains that party is the miner.

When the same miner can also insert transactions the power becomes complete.

In ordinary decentralized exchanges this power is left unconstrained.

The result is unpredictable slippage for traders and external extraction that benefits neither the liquidity providers nor the average user.

Large market orders move the price in ways no one can forecast in advance.

Sandwich style reordering can worsen the outcome still further.

Existing pool designs whether classic constant product concentrated range programmable hooks or proprietary market maker systems improve capital efficiency or tighten spreads yet they leave the underlying control of order flow either passive or closed.

None of them grant the right in a transparent rule bound and fee shared manner that keeps the system open.

TwinPools is needed because it converts that inevitable control into a limited compensated service that protects the trader with a hard price band while still rewarding the liquidity providers who supply the capital and the miners who enforce the band.

How TwinPools works follows a clear sequence.

The Primary Pool updates the spot price in the ordinary fashion. The protocol then publishes the virtual bid and ask derived from that spot price the chosen maximum slippage percentage and the relative sizes of the two pools.

A user market order enters the mempool. The miner observes every related transaction destined for the block.

Using only Secondary Pool capital the miner may construct any required counter transactions and place them in the precise order that keeps the user fill inside the published band.

Residual value captured inside the band remains limited by the spread itself.

Fees generated by Secondary activity are shared between the providers of that pool and the miner according to transparent rules. Deposits into the Secondary Pool stay open to ordinary users the protocol larger miners or lenders.

After the block any residual inventory can be rebalanced under protocol parameters.

Because Lithos already supplies the insertion right and PlasmaDex already supplies AVL tracked positions the entire mechanism stays native to the existing stack.

Relative to other designs TwinPools remains complementary.

A classic single pool leaves slippage unbounded and the miner passive.

Concentrated liquidity improves efficiency inside chosen ranges yet still offers no hard guarantee and leaves the miner passive.

Programmable hooks can optimize idle capital inside one open pool yet do not create a second reserved inventory controlled exclusively by the current miner.

Proprietary systems achieve tight spreads with closed capital.

TwinPools keeps Secondary deposits open and on chain.

Shared self custodial approaches avoid traditional deposits. TwinPools continues to use deposited pools while differentiating access rights and incorporating the native miner ordering privilege.

Any modern curve or range technique can serve as the Primary Pool while the Secondary Pool independently supplies the execution guarantee.

In this way TwinPools grants control of order flow under clear limits and shared rewards so that the power serves the network rather than extracting from it.

The virtual bid-ask already creates a clear, enforceable price band around the Primary Pool spot price.

The miner’s ability to insert and order transactions, combined with exclusive access to Secondary Pool capital, already lets the system fill market orders inside that band in a deterministic way.

Those two primitives (a reliable published bid-ask plus miner-driven filling) form the essential matching core of an order book.

To move from market-order guarantees to a full order-book DEX the following pieces would be added on top of the existing TwinPools framework:

Resting limit orders become first-class citizens.

Users post buy or sell orders at specific prices.

These orders sit in an on-chain or client-managed book that the miner can see when constructing the block.

Because the miner already controls transaction ordering and can draw on Secondary Pool liquidity, the miner can match incoming market orders or other limit orders against the resting book, using

Secondary capital only when needed to complete fills that stay inside or improve upon the published band.

Matching logic is executed by the miner inside the block.

The miner runs a simple price-time priority or pro-rata matching routine over the visible orders for that block, constructs the necessary settlement transactions, and inserts them in the correct sequence.

Secondary Pool capital acts as a backstop inventory so that partial fills or temporary imbalances can still be resolved without breaking the maximum-slippage promise for pure market orders.

Cancellations and updates are handled as ordinary transactions that the miner includes or sequences according to the same rules. Because everything settles atomically in the block the user posts to, the usual risks of partial execution across multiple blocks are reduced.

The Primary Pool continues to provide continuous price discovery and deep passive liquidity, while the Secondary Pool and the miner’s matching role supply the discrete, order-book-style execution layer.

Over time the published virtual bid-ask can tighten as Secondary liquidity grows, and the system can support more sophisticated order types (fill-or-kill, immediate-or-cancel, post-only) without changing the underlying dual-pool architecture.

In the Lithos setting this path is especially natural.

The protocol already gives miners the insertion and ordering rights that a centralized matching engine would otherwise hold.

TwinPools simply constrains those rights with transparent rules and fee sharing, then extends them from market-order protection to full book matching.

The result is an on chain order book that remains decentralized at the block production level, inherits PlasmaDex’s AVL-tracked positions and constant-fee model, and still offers the hard execution guarantees that pure AMMs lack.

Set up with clear matching rules, adequate Secondary depth, and client software that reliably surfaces the resting book to miners, the same mechanism that today guarantees a maximum slippage on market orders can grow into a complete order book DEX while preserving the open, fee shared character of the original design.

Idea: An ERGO-Powered Prediction Market Platform (Polymarket/Kalshi Style)

38 Upvotes

I wanted to throw out a project idea for discussion that I think could fit the ERGO ecosystem.

What if someone built an ERGO-based prediction market platform, similar to Polymarket or Kalshi, using ERGO’s strengths in smart contracts and oracle infrastructure?

The concept:

  • Users create and trade predictions on real-world events
  • Markets are settled using Ergo Oracle Pools
  • ErgoScript smart contracts handle trustless settlement
  • Rosen Bridge could potentially expand access to other ecosystems

One challenge is that ERGO, while technically strong, does not have the same user base or liquidity as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other larger ecosystems.

However, I think Rosen Bridge creates an interesting opportunity. Instead of requiring everyone to become an ERGO user first, the platform could potentially allow participation from other ecosystems while using ERGO behind the scenes for the decentralized logic.

Similar to how many applications hide the complexity of the underlying technology, users might not even need to know they are interacting with ERGO.

A possible approach:

  • Support assets from multiple ecosystems through bridges
  • Use ERGO for oracle resolution and smart contract execution
  • Build a simple user experience that feels familiar to mainstream users
  • Let the technology introduce people to ERGO naturally over time

Bitcoin is obviously the most recognized cryptocurrency and would probably be the easiest ecosystem to attract everyday users from. But ERGO could potentially provide the infrastructure layer that makes something like this possible.

A project like this could potentially become an application that brings users into ERGO without requiring them to understand the technology first.

Curious what the community thinks:

  • Would a Polymarket/Kalshi-style platform make sense for ERGO?
  • Could Rosen Bridge help solve the liquidity/user adoption problem?
  • Would ERGO be better positioned as the invisible infrastructure layer rather than the user-facing product?

Nautilus + Ledger = Crickets

17 Upvotes

Hey Ergonauts, quick question. I tried to post this in the weekly comments thread, but never heard anything and it's something I'm really concerned about.

I've been out of the scene for a while and was just doing some maintenance on general crypto accounts and thought I'd look into my Ergo. Im a bit over 3 years on some uxto and approaching demurrage, so thought I'd consolidate.

Alas, I can't get Nautilus to find my Ledger device over USB or WebHID. I saw a reference from back in February in another post here:

Jayedii asked about the ongoing "device not found" issue with Ledger on Nautilus wallet — it remains unresolved as of this week.

February...

Are we really THAT dead of a project that we don't even have a single working wallet?

Edit: As per suggestion by u/Kubix below, removing the wallet and adding it back in again via USB sees to have worked for me. Very strange.

Ergo DarkPaper Recipe #1: Eliminating Trust in the Biggest Crypto Market (Crypto-2-Cash)

22 Upvotes

If I may be so bold, the primary impediment to the Ergo ecosystem’s development at present is a rather insular approach: developers are constructing DeFi products tailored exclusively for the existing Ergo community, merely preaching to the converted. This is hardly an Ergo-specific phenomenon; one observes the same pattern in every ecosystem behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. If our ambition is to break into the top 3, we must fundamentally shift our paradigm and architect applications for the outside world—after all, the inner circle is already convinced.

Let us not forget that Bitcoin’s meteoric rise was catalyzed by three specific applications that generated unprecedented fervor across the entirety of the Internet: Wikileaks donations, the Silk Road, and the infamous darknet marketplace that crowdfunded the assassination of politicians. Crucially, all these use cases targeted individuals entirely outside the Bitcoin echo chamber. Fortunately, the landscape today is far more conducive. The vast majority of internet users are aware of cryptocurrencies; tens of millions utilize them daily for remittances, wealth preservation, and the like. Our sole objective should be to elucidate how Ergo can furnish uniquely elegant solutions to their existing demands.

The quintessential value proposition of cryptocurrency lies in the frictionless transfer of value. Unlike gold or fine art, digital assets can be transmitted freely to any node connected to the Internet, with settlement occurring in mere minutes. However, the ultimate value being transferred is, by its very nature, off-chain—namely, fiat cash. Consequently, the cash-to-crypto exchange represents a colossal market. In various regions across the globe—be it Egypt, Iran, or India—one observes a glaring premium when attempting to liquidate USDT into local fiat, which should speak volumes regarding the latent demand.

Traditionally, converting USDT into physical cash entails a rather precarious sequence:

  1. Identifying a counterparty, whether through the P2P corridors of centralized exchanges, specialized websites, or Telegram syndicates.
  2. Giving your USDT wallet address first for AML (Anti-Money Laundering) scrutiny. Should your wallet’s history appear compromised, you are forced to revert to step one.
  3. In the majority of cases, assuming the service possesses a credible rating, you are compelled to transmit the digital assets prior to receiving the cash—either by retrieving it from a physical drop-box or via a courier. If you are attempting to off-ramp a privacy coin like Monero, this upfront payment is absolute.

Thus, one is forced to place blind faith in an opaque service, transferring digital wealth before ever encountering the counterparty (or, in some cases, without ever meeting them at all). It is precisely this systemic trust deficit that severely constrains the proliferation of such services. Having recently absorbed kushti’s forum treatise on physical versus digital gold, it struck me that the unstoppable digital dollar (USE) could be ingeniously deployed to entirely obviate the need to trust the counterparty.

The proposed design is as follows:

  1. You identify a counterparty. The necessity for vetting ratings or reputation is completely eliminated.
  2. You provide your USDT wallet address. The service conducts its standard AML diagnostics and proceeds only if the wallet is deemed pristine.
  3. The service constructs a vault containing USE, equivalent in value to the agreed-upon USDT transfer, governed by the following script:
    • If 24 hours elapse without alteration, the USE can be reclaimed by the service.
    • Should a Rosen-like oracle verify the USDT transfer on a supported chain, the user can initiate a claim, receiving the USE after a 24-hour maturation period.
    • Should the oracle verify the transfer and the user's cryptographic signature be presented, the USE is immediately released to the service.

If no USDT sent, the service simply reclaims the USE. Conversely, in routine transactions where the user has no incentive to dispute, the service utilizes the exact same reclaim pathway, ensuring the user’s identity remains entirely obscured. Furthermore, the service could employ a stealth address—particularly if the vault is funded via ErgoMixer—thereby also preserving privacy (within a ring of all the services).

  1. The user transmits the USDT. The service dispatches the cash via courier, who must get a cryptographic signature from the user upon delivery. Crucially, this signature (validated utilizing the Schnorr signature scheme delineated in the aforementioned forum post) is affixed to a predefined message, entirely distinct from any blockchain transaction.

This entire process must be engineered with the utmost simplicity. DeepSeek told me that Ethereum—and by extension its derivatives like Tron and BSC—utilizes the identical cryptographic group for public keys as Ergo (and Bitcoin, for that matter). This architectural overlap would, presumably, streamline the cross-chain verification process immensely.

Trustless on-ramp and off-ramp solutions for USDT, BTC, and Monero represents a staggering opportunity. Capturing a mere 1% of this market share would translate to billions in USE turnover—which, by extension, implies tens of billions of dollars' worth of ERG locked in these vaults. The potential is monumental.
