Ontology’s Trust Network, Identity Tools, and ONT–ONG Token Roles
Summary
The document introduces Ontology as a public blockchain designed for identity verification, data exchange, and distributed trust across organizations and applications. It describes a modular network with multi-source identities, data attestations, and verification services, presenting these features as ways to support privacy-conscious data sharing and authentication.
It also outlines Ontology’s consensus approach, described as a delegated Byzantine fault tolerant system with pluggable verifiers and protocol recovery features. The article distinguishes ONT, used for governance and general exchange, from ONG, used to pay for blockchain operations. These descriptions are conceptual; the document provides no benchmarks, independent evidence for its scalability claims, or analysis of either token’s market behavior. Its later sections promote exchange availability and trading, so readers seeking investment conclusions will find no valuation method or risk analysis.
