About Ontology

Ontology (ONT) is a high-performance public blockchain platform focused on decentralized identity (DID), data collaboration, and trust ecosystems for enterprises. Founded by Jun Li and the OnChain team (also behind NEO), Ontology provides a layered blockchain infrastructure that allows businesses to build custom identity, data exchange, and process automation solutions. The platform uses a dual-token model: ONT for staking and governance, and ONG (Ontology Gas) for network fees. Ontology has developed ONT ID — a decentralized identity framework used by millions of users across fintech, healthcare, and government services.
