Ontology in the Media

AMB Crypto — 《Metaverse shows potential to become a trillion dollar industry, transform Web3.0》

“The Web 2.0 mobile internet changed how, where, when, and why we used the internet. In turn, this changed the products, services, and companies we used, which changed our business models, culture, and politics — the Web 3.0 Metaverse has the potential to do the same.”

In order to better promote the Web3 ecological construction and build a better decentralized and interoperable infrastructure for the arrival of the Metaverse, Ontology is carefully polishing the decentralized identity and data technology to put user identity privacy and data security at the core. At the same time, building a decentralized network with decentralized identity by constructing global partnerships.
