That\u2019s two full crypto market cycles, a few thousand product pivots across the industry, and more rebrands than anyone cares to count. But here we are, and we\u2019re still building, still shipping, and still running on the same principles that started this whole thing: decentralized identity, user-first privacy, and no-nonsense staking rewards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"2\" data-line-end=\"3\">To mark the milestone, we\u2019re launching a multi-pronged campaign packed with rewards, quests, and real-world utility. Whether you\u2019re a trader, staker, or just someone who likes airdrops, there\u2019s something for you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"4\" data-line-end=\"5\">\ud83d\udee0 Campaign Breakdown: Utility, Incentives, and a Little Chaos<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"6\" data-line-end=\"7\">Let\u2019s break it down. We\u2019re not just throwing confetti here. Every piece of this campaign is meant to showcase how ONT and ONG actually work. These tokens aren\u2019t just as assets, they are part of the core infrastructure in a better Web3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"11\" data-line-end=\"12\">\ud83c\udf0d Wide World x Ontology: Create. Share. Win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"13\" data-line-end=\"14\">We didn\u2019t forget the creatives &#8211; join in the fun here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From June 18th<\/li>\n<li>$600 prize pool<\/li>\n<li>Fire up WW AI, create something themed for ONT<\/li>\n<li>Drop your creation under our Wide World campaign tweet<\/li>\n<li>End on 31st July<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"21\" data-line-end=\"22\">Twelve winners get $50 each. Think of it as your moment to flex, and possibly stack some ONG while you\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"25\" data-line-end=\"26\">\ud83d\udfe2 Trade Smarter with ONT &amp; ONG<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"27\" data-line-end=\"28\">This is the main show: a 4-week campaign rolling out inside the ONTO Wallet<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"29\" data-line-end=\"34\">From June 30th<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"29\" data-line-end=\"34\">$3,000 in ONG up for grabs<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"29\" data-line-end=\"34\">Top 50 traders by volume get a cut of $2,500<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"29\" data-line-end=\"34\">Random 100 eligible wallets win $5 each (except for the top 50 addresses)<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"29\" data-line-end=\"34\">All you need: trade at least $10 worth on Ontology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-line-start=\"37\" data-line-end=\"38\"><a href=\"https:\/\/link.onto.app\/swap?chain=ont&amp;fromToken=ont&amp;toToken=ong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trade via ONTO\u00a0<\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"37\" data-line-end=\"38\">Want to boost your odds? Trade ONT pairs, use ONG for gas, hold it for 3+ days, or take the quiz on how staking ONT earns you ONG. Yes, a quiz. We\u2019re not above pop quizzes if it gets people to learn something.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"41\" data-line-end=\"42\">\ud83d\udd35 Stake to Win<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"43\" data-line-end=\"44\">If trading\u2019s not your thing, maybe staking is.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"45\" data-line-end=\"48\">$2,000 in ONG rewards<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"45\" data-line-end=\"48\">Stake into Round 258 (dropping ~ June 28th)<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"45\" data-line-end=\"48\">20 random stakers will each get $100 (in ONG, of course).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"49\" data-line-end=\"50\">Because let\u2019s be honest, staking ONT is still one of the most under-hyped moves in Web3. You earn ONG passively, contribute to governance, and now you might get a surprise bonus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"51\" data-line-end=\"52\">Learn more about Ontology Staking with this helpful guide.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"56\" data-line-end=\"57\">\ud83e\uddd3 OG Traders: Your Early Moves Could Pay Off<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"58\" data-line-end=\"59\">If you were one of the first to trade on the Ontology blockchain, now\u2019s your chance to prove it and earn a reward.

Decentralized Identity (DID). Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). Zero Knowledge Proofs. Real-world partnerships. Our gas fees? Still a joke, in a good way. And we\u2019re laser-focused on the user owning their data, their keys, and their value.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"78\" data-line-end=\"79\">\ud83d\udcda Related Reading<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"80\" data-line-end=\"81\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ont.io\/news\/1125\/Ontology-EVM--The-Complete-2025-Guide\">Ontology full EVM Guide 2025 &#8211; with low fees and easy bridging.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-line-data\" data-line-start=\"82\" data-line-end=\"83\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ont.io\/news\/1127\/Maximize-Your-Crypto-Earnings-with-Ontology-Staking\">Maximise Your Crypto Earnings with Ontology Staking &#8211; helpful step by step guide.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrate Ontology\u2019s 7th anniversary with rewards-packed campaigns for traders, stakers, and creators.
