A platform with technical advantages, a rich and diverse ecology, specific development fields, and a friendly development environment for developers are all important. Ontology organized hackathons, online discussions, incentive plans, workshops and other activities for global developers to prosper in the ecosystem.

He shared the latest Ontology World Book Day event with community members, hoping to inspire everyone to “read” the history of Ontology together through this activity, and win rewards while learning.
• As always, we’re active on Twitter and Telegram, where you can keep up with our latest developments and community updates.

Global News

Ontology in the Media

Cointelegraph — “How Web3 is redefining storytelling for creators and fans through NFTs”

“Web3 has given rise to generative NFTs that allow both fans and creators to tell stories across different mediums. Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. It serves as the basis of the relationships people have with our characters and eventually becomes an emotional bond that lasts a lifetime. Web3 allows people to actively participate in different ecosystems, which is a huge opportunity.” 

This places demands on our digital identities — we need full ownership of our identity. On this basis, the narratives we create will become part of the digital identity, interwoven to form a complete Web3 “protagonist” image. Now, this digital identity can be created through the Web3 gateway ONTO, and the reputation can be scored through the data on the chain, and then a Web3 identity can be built to participate in various blockchain transactions.
