Out & About — Event Spotlight

  • Ontology — The ONLY Decentralized Identity Partner for Binance Smart Chain. The integration of Ontology’s Decentralized Identity Solution into the Binance Smart Chain is the latest in our collaborative efforts. The symbiotic relationship sees Ontology and ONT ID as the sole partner for BSC in terms of providing a truly decentralized identity option and KYC user verification. Recently, Binance launched its “BSC” dashboard, which lists ONT.
  • Li Jun, Founder of Ontology, was interviewed by CointelegraphCN and shared his thoughts on blockchain’s globalization. He was invited to speak at “Web 3.0 TALKS”, on the topic of Decentralized Identity. The discussion touched upon how Ontology is developing the building blocks for a better web.
  • Li Jun had two opinion articles published. See links below:

— Global Banking and Finance: ‘Why Privacy Should Be ESG Investors’ Next Big Priority

— Nasdaq: ‘Data Regulation In 2021: More Small Steps Or A Giant Leap?’.

  • An original video called “Decoded Decentralized Identity” was uploaded by Ontology, to share our opinions about data and identity.
  • Our “ONTO Red Packets For You & Me” campaign launched, which allowed users to send Red Packets on ONTO for a 10,000 ONG bonus. A two-week “Open ONTO with me” campaign was launched, which was a tremendous success and attracted nearly 1,000 users. ONTO supported Binance Blockchain Week’s online broadcast. By scanning a QR code on their screens, users were entered with a chance to win a portion of a limited number of 2,000 DEGO NFTs.
