Build Ergon

Build the network you want to trust.

Run the software. Inspect every boundary. Improve the tools that let independent people share one history.

The essential boundary

The node decides.
Tools reveal.

The node verifies consensus, selects the chain and keeps its own state. Chronik makes that history easier to explore, but never decides what is valid.

Public roadmap

One careful step
at a time.

The path stays visible. Experiments can move quickly; changes to the network move only after they can be inspected and reproduced.

  1. 00

    Foundation

    Preserve the exact Bitcoin Static v24.0.5 public tree as the signed root.

    Verified
  2. 01

    Compatibility

    Falsify differences from the legacy node in mining, relay, validation and chain following.

    Mainnet coexistence

    Run the candidate beside legacy nodes with no consensus change.

  4. 03

    Optional observation

    Prove indexing can be absent, disabled or enabled without authority.

  5. 04

    Experimental testnet

    Test separately reviewed consensus changes on a governed testnet.

    Future mainnet decision

    Consider a fork only after prolonged testnet and independent reproduction.

    No activation proposed

What is happening now

Observed

The new node is learning to walk beside the old one.

Initial compatibility tests are public. More demanding conditions—reindexing, pruning, reorganizations and long-running operation—still need to be explored.
