Crypto Mode — “3 Reasons Why Ontology Becoming EVM-Compatible Is A Big Deal”

“There are many good reasons for blockchains to achieve compatibility with EVM. One big reason is the overall interoperability improvements such a development provides. In addition, a seamless connection between EVM-capable ecosystems unlocks a broader user base and more liquidity and allows for the development of more complex products, services, and solutions.” 

Since its inception, Ontology has always been deeply engaged in decentralized digital identity technology, and hopes to provide more mature DID and data solutions in the wider Web3 field. Therefore, Ontology has recently integrated EVM to provide financial, technical and platform support for the majority of Ethereum developers, helping them to quickly build applications and achieve breakthrough innovations.
