🧭 Ontonauts Log | May 2025

Hey explorers,

Your Ontonaut here with the latest from deep inside the Ontology ecosystem. May was packed — from wallet upgrades and identity pushes to community campaigns that spanned gaming, security, and even pizza. Let’s break it down.

Big Moves in Decentralized Identity and Web3 Reputation 🔐

The momentum behind Decentralized Identity isn’t slowing down. Microsoft made headlines with its new decentralized identity initiative, teaming up with DIF and the W3C Credentials Community Group. That’s a major step toward a more open and user-controlled Web3.

And here in our own orbit, we doubled down. With zkTLS and identity tools in the spotlight, it’s clearer than ever: reputation and privacy are becoming core features, not afterthoughts.

What Ontology Got Done in May 🛠️

We kept the energy high all month long.

🪐 Launched the Wide Worlds Campaign inside the Web3 Wonderverse — putting Ontology in front of a new wave of explorers.

🎁 Rolled out the Ontonaut Starter Package to onboard users with NFTs, ONT, and ONG rewards.

🎮 Brought the heat with a Web3 Gaming panel as part of the “Code, Clout & Crypto” series.

🛡️ Jumped into the post-Coinbase hack conversation by highlighting zkTLS and Decentralized ID, in collaboration with Orange Protocol.

👥 Launched the “Meet ONT ID” campaign on @xstar_id, rewarding users for sharing their DID journeys.

📞 Hosted a community call to break down our work with Xstar.

🎙️ Dropped Episode 2 of Code, Clout & Crypto, diving into social systems in on-chain games.

ONTO Wallet Highlights 👛

The wallet team kept shipping and celebrating.

🚀 Dropped ONTO V4.9.4, featuring:

— Enhanced Swap/Bridge tools

— Integration with @ston_fi

— A slick 0.1% fee rebate on TON swaps

— Support for Omniston and @ton_blockchain

📊 Shared April’s top 10 blockchains and most-used dApps — including @PancakeSwap, @Uniswap, @Fiat24Official, and @0xPolygon.

🍕 Celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day with @joinFIO, giving users a shot at 10,000 FIO tokens just for registering a handle in ONTO.

📈 Oh, and we toasted to Bitcoin hitting $110K. Just saying.

Orange Protocol Campaigns 🍊

The team at Orange Protocol kept the fire alive:

🎯 Pushed a new round of the Orange Humanity Score campaign, with 1200 $ONG up for grabs every month.

🌍 Partnered with @umycomofficial to launch a Web3 travel campaign with $100 coupons for explorers looking to move through the world on-chain.

📣 Promoted their zkTLS initiative alongside Ontology — security meets identity.

Ecosystem Stats 📈

We’re sitting at 19,929,977 total transactions, and staking is looking healthy.

Every click, claim, and connection brings us closer to a Web3 reality powered by self-sovereign identity.

That’s it for May. Ontology continues to evolve, and you’re part of that journey. We’ll be back in June with more updates, more campaigns, and more reasons to believe in what we’re building.

Until next time,

🛰️ Your Ontonaut
