Ontology

ONT and Ontology

Ontology is a public blockchain ecosystem focused on decentralized identity, reputation and trust. Its current token documentation separates ONT from ONG. ONT is the value token used for governance and staking, while ONG is the gas token used for transactions and smart-contract execution. This two-token design is central to understanding how the network separates participation from transaction costs.

ONT staking

ONT holders can stake to support network security and earn ONG rewards. Ontology’s current materials say staking is available through wallets including ONTO Wallet and OWallet. The network’s public site also reports a large amount of ONT staked and hundreds of nodes. These figures are live metrics and can change, so FMchart should use its own current market fields rather than copying them into static text.

Ontology identity

Ontology’s broader technology includes ONT ID, a decentralized identity system intended to let users control digital identity and related data. The project also describes verifiable credentials and reputation infrastructure. This identity focus distinguishes ONT from networks whose main purpose is general smart-contract execution, although Ontology also supports an EVM-compatible environment for decentralized applications.

2026 network changes

Ontology’s March 2026 roadmap described a more accessible public chain after tokenomics reforms and an 80% reduction in gas fees. The roadmap also discussed continued optimization of the Ontology EVM and lower barriers for self-run nodes. These are dated 2026 statements and should not be generalized into permanent network characteristics without checking later governance or documentation.

ONT risks

ONT is exposed to blockchain security, staking, smart-contract and identity-system risks. Because ONG is the network gas token, users should not assume that every network fee is paid directly in ONT. Governance changes and tokenomics reforms can also affect how the two-token economy operates over time.

This page separates project documentation from live FMchart market fields. Historical tokenomics, staking rules and roadmap statements are dated where relevant, while live figures are intended to refresh independently when market data is available. Readers should use current project documentation for changes after the review date.

For FMchart readers, ONT and ONG should always be treated as separate assets with different roles. Ontology’s current materials identify ONT as the value token for governance and staking, while ONG is the gas token for transactions and smart-contract execution. Live market fields such as price, market capitalization, rank and circulating supply can change independently of those protocol roles. Ontology’s 2026 roadmap is also a dated source: it describes the direction of the network at that time and should not be interpreted as a permanent promise. FMchart’s composite history is based on available market coverage, so its start date may differ from Ontology’s founding or early token history. This page keeps network facts, dated roadmap statements and live market data separate so readers can understand which information is structural and which information is time-sensitive.
