AERGO is a hybrid blockchain platform developed by Blocko Inc., designed to meet enterprise demands for scalable, secure, and interoperable blockchain infrastructure. It supports both public and private chain configurations and is built upon Blocko’s enterprise-grade COINSTACK framework, already deployed across multiple high-profile systems.

The platform enables developers and organisations to build decentralised applications (dApps) using familiar tools, including SQL-based smart contracts (AERGOSQL). It is structured to support deployment across cloud environments via its AERGO Hub and enables access to computing resources and services through the AERGO Marketplace.

AERGO aims to facilitate enterprise adoption of blockchain by integrating public blockchain transparency with private blockchain performance and control, making it suitable for sectors requiring regulatory compliance, scalability, and IT system integration.

What is AERGO (AERGO) used for?

The AERGO token is a utility token used across the ecosystem for:

• Transaction fees and smart contract execution
• Staking under a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) model
• Access to platform services, including the AERGO Hub and Marketplace
• Payment for services, such as cloud resources or integration toolkits
• Governance, enabling token holders to vote on network delegates

This multi-functional token supports the operation, security, and incentivisation of the network’s participants and infrastructure.

How does AERGO work?

AERGO combines a layered architecture to address enterprise IT needs:

• Smart contracts are written in AERGOSQL, using a familiar SQL-like syntax
• AERGO Chain is the blockchain core, using DPoS for scalability and energy efficiency
• AERGO Hub serves as the cloud-based orchestration and deployment gateway
• AERGO Marketplace provides access to services like storage, computing power, and templates
• Integration APIs allow seamless connectivity with legacy enterprise systems

This design helps reduce adoption barriers for businesses by simplifying blockchain deployment and maintenance.
