To celebrate Ontology’s 4th anniversary, Ontology launched the special event “Cyberspace 4 Philosophers”. All 10,000 NFTs were fully sold out within 7 days, demonstrating the extraordinary enthusiasm of Ontology’s community members. Congratulations to everyone who managed to mint their NFTs!

Community Growth & Bounty


  • This month, Polaris from the English Ontology community officially became an Ontology Harbinger. This excellent community member has always been an active supporter, and will bring new energy to our community. We welcome more new members to join us.
  • Ontology published the next couple of interviews in its Harbinger Series. Polaris from our English community said that Ontology uses blockchain technology to continuously promote the development of the smart economy on the basis of protecting user privacy, making it fairer, and more transparent. As such, he has become a supporter of Ontology.
  • This month, the Ontology Community Call on Discord and Telegram was held as usual, focusing on topics such as “the value of a project” and “what is trust?”. Head of Community Humpty Calderon, Ontology Harbinger Polaris, and Atherton Hoge discussed those issues with community members, shared that a “Trustless” decentralized network should be able to protect the privacy of users through DID, and achieve anonymous and secure interactions by integrating the reputation system on the chain.
  • This month, we held our DeID Summit, led by Humpty Calderon, our Head of Community. He invited bloXmove CEO Sophia Roediger and CTO Harry Behrens to discuss the application of DID technology in the field of mobile travel. The fragmentation of the urban transport industry means there is a great need to fortify user security and data through decentralized technologies. By integrating Ontology’s DID and data solutions, the whole ecosystem of bloXmove will be made more private, more secure, and will be easier to navigate.
  • We held our Telegram Community Call of our Spanish community for the first time, led by Ontology Harbinger Emilio. He reviewed the latest progress made in the fourth anniversary of Ontology with community members: Through the comprehensive deployment of DID, global users can maintain the unity of identity and the interoperability of data.
  • We held our Telegram Community Discussion, led by Benny, an Ontology Harbinger from our Asian community. He discussed with community members about Ontology’s 4th anniversary NFT event, recent popular NFTs and games, the current Metaverse construction, and the role of Ontology in the construction of Web3. Community members expressed their opinions enthusiastically.

Out & About — Event Spotlight

  • Ontology’s Chief of Global Ecosystem Partnerships, Gloria Wu, published the article “Why a decentralized metaverse is Web 3.0’s new frontier” in Forkast.

Blockchain will be essential for creating a thriving metaverse and providing the decentralized infrastructure needed.
  • Ontology founder Li Jun was interviewed by Cybernews, he said users are increasingly sharing their sensitive personal information in exchange for convenience services in the article: “Decentralized identity: is privacy worth the risk?”.
