Hey explorers,<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Ontonaut reporting in. April was packed with missions across the Ontology ecosystem. From staking updates and new campaigns to serious movement in the Decentralized Identity world, here is what went down.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n

Big Moves in Decentralized Identity and Web3 Reputation <\/span>\ud83d\ude80<\/h2>\n

World kicked off a $300K Dev Rewards pilot <\/span>\ud83d\udcb0 <\/a>designed to inspire more human-first apps. It is a major boost for builders who are focused on keeping users at the center of Web3.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, <\/span>new research shows the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) market is projected to reach $1,153.07 billion by 2034<\/span><\/a>. Decentralized Identity <\/span>\ud83c\udd94 is not just a future trend anymore. It is becoming the future itself. <\/span>\ud83c\udf1f.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n

What Ontology Accomplished in April <\/span>\ud83c\udf1f<\/h2>\n

Ontology was active on the ground and online throughout April.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geoff Richards represented the project at Paris Blockchain Week <\/span>\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 <\/a>building connections across the global Web3 space.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team also showed up strong at the TEAMZ Summit in Tokyo<\/span><\/a>, pushing forward Ontology\u2019s presence in Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hosted an AMA and Giveaway with LetsExchange<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>\ud83c\udf81 giving the community a chance to connect directly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new ONT ID <\/span>\ud83c\udd94 X account launched<\/span><\/a>, offering a direct line for updates and conversations around digital identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

We kept the energy high with the Fur PFP Sharing campaign<\/span><\/a>, a Monthly Discord Quiz <\/span>\ud83e\udde0, regular Community Calls, Privacy Hour discussions <\/span>\ud83d\udd12, and active Telegram sessions. <\/span>\ud83d\udcac<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ONTO Wallet Updates <\/span>\ud83d\udc5b<\/h2>\n

ONTO Wallet rolled out a wave of improvements. <\/span>\ud83c\udf0a<\/p>\n

We announced the Ontonaut AI feedback winners<\/span><\/a> \ud83c\udfc6 and shared a staking tutorial<\/span><\/a> for Ontology nodes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The March Top 10 Chains<\/span><\/a> <\/span>\ud83d\udcc8 were revealed, highlighting which ecosystems are seeing the most action.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new blog section<\/span><\/a> <\/span>\ud83d\udcdd <\/strong>went live on the ONTO site, bringing more resources to the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Integration updates<\/span><\/a> made using ONTO faster and smarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Human.tech featured an article on ONTO\u2019s work<\/span><\/a> in the decentralized identity <\/span>\ud83c\udd94 space. <\/span><\/p>\n

And Umy.com officially joined the DApp listings<\/span>. <\/span>\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f<\/a><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n

Orange Protocol Campaigns <\/span>\ud83c\udf4a<\/h2>\n

Orange Protocol launched several community campaigns this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CoinAvatar campaign kicked off<\/span>, <\/span>\ud83c\udfae with a 2,500 $CAV prize pool up for grabs. <\/span>\ud83c\udfc6<\/p>\n

The BitDoctorAI campaign<\/span> <\/span>\ud83c\udfe5 focused on expanding healthcare access through blockchain tools. <\/span>\ud83d\udd17<\/p>\n

The new OHS campaign started<\/span>, offering a 1,200 $ONG prize monthly. <\/span>\ud83c\udf81<\/p>\n

Orange also teamed up with Ontology for a joint Community Update<\/span>. <\/span>\ud83d\udce2<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n

Ecosystem Stats <\/span>\ud83d\udcca<\/h2>\n

The Ontology ecosystem hit 19,884,119 total transactions <\/span>\ud83d\udd25 as of the end of April.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every transaction strengthens the network <\/span> \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f and brings decentralized identity <\/span>\ud83c\udd94 closer to mainstream adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n
