What is Ontology?
Ontology is a high-performance public blockchain of distributed trust interaction.
This is a platform which helps to create blockchain systems for the needs of any organization.
Initially, the project was created for the development and implementation of the blockchain in various spheres of life.
The main infrastructure of the Ontology project consists of three different elements: blockchains, a framework that combines different blockchains, and a set of interaction protocols. Each element can be considered separately:
- ONT Blockchains is a decentralized system that operates on the principle of a chain of blocks. Both networks based on the platform and third-party chains can interact with the platform.
- ONT Framework is a system that combines various blockchains into a single network. Here they can interact with each other.
- ONT Interaction Protocols - this includes a variety of interaction protocols for various systems and structures.
Where did Ontology come from?
Members of the Onchain company, have made a great contribution to the development of the network and its launch process. Next, Onchain stepped back to allow the Ontology Foundation and its open-source developer community to observe the future direction of the Protocol.
ONT cryptocurrency is the brainchild of the Ontology project, which actively began to develop in 2017. Ontology is a revolutionary system that allows companies to apply blockchain technology in their work without having prior skills in using distribution networks.
The founder is Jun Li. He has a wealth of academic experience, including a bachelor's degree in computer science, and a master's degree in communication engineering.
There are several important dates in the history of Ontology:
- November 18, 2017 - announcement of the project at the OnChain conference in Shanghai;
- March 1, 2018 - the main round of token distribution. Ontology cryptocurrency was distributed to all NEO holders;
- April 13, 2018 - publication of the first version of the roadmap.
What are the advantages of Ontology?
- Ensuring complete confidentiality of user information and security of transactions;
- Efficient work, which ensures fast operations;
- The decentralized structure of the cryptosystem solves the problem of potential monopolization;
- Authentication rates are higher than those of major competitors that do not use decentralized algorithms.
- Accessibility-simple tools and a modular structure make creating applications on Ontology accessible to users who do not have advanced programming knowledge.
- Using the VRF algorithm - allows you to make Ontology faster and more efficient compared to other networks that use popular algorithms such as PoW or PoS.
What are the disadvantages of Ontology?
- The dBFT consensus mechanism on which the Ontology algorithm is based is criticized for its high degree of centralization.
- Cross-chain transactions also suggest an increase in centralization.
- High dependence of the platform developers on the Chinese authorities.
