Block Overview In blockchain technology, a block is a fundamental unit of data that groups together a set of transactions.
Block Header The block header in Ergo serves as a concise summary of a block's critical information.
Block Transactions The Transactions section of an Ergo block is the heart of the blockchain's state changes.
ADProofs ADProofs, short for Authenticated Data Proofs, are a crucial component of Ergo's block structure that allows for efficient and secure validation of transactions without r...
Extension Section Unlike many blockchains that only store transaction data, Ergo includes a specialized Extension section in each block.
Discrete Logarithms Discrete logarithm proofs are a fundamental cryptographic primitive in Ergo's signature verification mechanism, based on the computational hardness of the discrete logari...
