Community Growth

• We held our weekly Discord Community Call, with the theme “Web3 Reputation Value”. In addition to “the identity value and encryption security that reputation can bring to users”, user reputation can also provide convenience in Web3 financial activities such as DeFi and GameFi, and can also help projects attract more traffic and achieve a win-win situation.
• We held our Telegram weekly Community Discussion led by Benny, an Asian community Harbinger. He shared several decentralized applications incubated by Ontology based on DID technology, including ONT ID, ONTO and Wing Finance. Community members also discussed “how DID can empower the whole industry”.
• As always, we’re active on Twitter and Telegram, where you can keep up with our latest developments and community updates.

Global News

• Ontology’s $10 million development fund is available for all global Web3 developers to deploy on the Ontology EVM. We also have a $100,000 Hackathon fund for the best projects presented on DoraHacks. At present, many global teams are building their applications and we are calling all to build for Web3, especially around user DID and Data security.

Ontology in the Media

Forbes — “The Metaverse Is Our Chance To Play Cybersecurity Catch-Up”

“While the metaverse presents a huge new frontier for companies and consumers to engage in, this will absolutely provide yet another space for cybercrime to thrive. Despite having the protections in place, particularly with cryptocurrency and blockchain, regulation in the metaverse is still non-existent, and as we’ve seen with ransomware and extortion tactics, the legal recourse for attacks is also low, which will make it an extremely attractive — and potentially lucrative — space for cybercriminals.”

The root cause of a large number of data security problems is that users have little control over how data is stored and utilized. Therefore, the Metaverse needs a set of targeted solutions, such as ONT ID of Ontology, through the autonomous and sovereign system that provides data authorization and ownership confirmation, all rights can be returned to the user, and the user’s identity and data security are guaranteed through technologies such as decentralized ledgers, public-private key pairs, and encryption.
