Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD), as well as the founder and CEO of IOHK, said the following about Ergo to CoinTelegraph.

Support for Ergo is also spreading on social media. One Twitter user called it the “swiss army knife of the $ADA ecosystem” while noting that it’s still “so underground right now.”

ERG was up 18.5% over a 24-hour period on Wednesday morning. It’s also up 2,087.7% since the start of the year.
