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

Your Ontonaut here with the latest from deep inside the Ontology ecosystem. May was packed \u2014 from wallet upgrades and identity pushes to community campaigns that spanned gaming, security, and even pizza. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Big Moves in Decentralized Identity and Web3 Reputation \ud83d\udd10<\/span><\/h2>\n

The momentum behind Decentralized Identity isn\u2019t slowing down. Microsoft made headlines with its new decentralized identity initiative<\/span><\/a>, teaming up with DIF and the W3C Credentials Community Group. That\u2019s a major step toward a more open and user-controlled Web3.<\/span><\/p>\n

And here in our own orbit, we doubled down. With zkTLS and identity tools in the spotlight, it\u2019s clearer than ever: reputation and privacy are becoming core features, not afterthoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
