The Ontology Ecosystem continues its orbit through decentralized identity, reputation, and privacy. August brought fresh launches, new quests, and community-driven momentum across ONTO Wallet and Orange Protocol. Below, I’ve logged the most notable signals from the network.
Sector Scan: DID & Web3 Reputation
- Sony breaks orbit with Soneium Score – a reputation-driven system deployed on its new Ethereum L2, Soneium. Proof that even corporate giants see trust as the missing link in decentralized economies.
- Humanity Protocol ignites mainnet – $1.1B in valuation at launch, promising a privacy-first bridge for digital identity. Another ambitious attempt to balance verification with sovereignty.
- Polkadot’s Proof of Personhood – designed to fight Sybil attacks with identity attestation. The experiment is bold: linking individuality to chain-level consensus.
- MetaMask deploys Social Login – identity abstraction enters mainstream wallets, letting users authenticate without juggling seed phrases. Seamless, but the jury’s still out on decentralization.
Ontology Command Updates
- Activated the ONT ID Loyalty Quest on Intract: Loyal NFT Plus rewards, swappable for $ONG once 10 NFTs are collected. You can still take part!
