Have you ever been to Disneyland? Or perhaps the Epcot center? All of it is a wonderful fairy tale but none of it is real. It was all someone’s thoughts first, now its real. The same was said about cryptocurrencies. Now it's real enough though, right? Remember it all started with only someone's thoughts, now it's real. We were there, it felt real. Oh so real… so very… real? Or someone's thoughts? You decide…

Ontology is working to build a trust based platform performing within the community. There also are many other trust systems in place, such as friends, family, church and or other religious groups, social organizations or club activities, etc. An available example is within the medical services, having the ability to utilize hardware or applications like fitbit as one example for medical research and following patients active lifestyles. Insurance companies can also utilize similar resources to track claims and filings.
Kyle Willson touches on what Ontology is and his view of why it pumped so much during a very bearish market.

In recent news you can find that on March 30th ONT had launched on GitHub. Available here is “The First Open Letter to the Ontology Technology Community." KuCoin just enabled ONT withrawals on April 3. Ontology began trading on Bitbns, an exchange that helps empowering India as a country and its it's people to access over 27 coins on an exchange that is expressed to be quick and easy access to the coins offered within this exchange. In the open letter, two key elements they explore within are:
Ontology DID (Distributed Identity Framework. ONT ID is a decentralized identity protocol based on ONT ID W3C DID specification which establishes a cryptography-based digital identity for each entity, allowing data authorization and authority autonomy. It makes identity and data assets that users can truly control.
ONTO is an Ontology-based integrated client product, blockchain search engine, and blockchain system entry.
“Founded in 2014, Onchain designs and develop blockchain solutions for businesses. The company envisions large-scale adoption of distributed ledger technology across private and public sector organizations, and has worked steadily to make this goal a reality. Onchain’s Distributed Networks Architecture (DNA), its first major project , focuses on digital asset applications and supports businesses in multiple ways, chiefly by simplifying creation of both private and public blockchains scenarios. Onchain is dedicated to constant improvement, and continuously track innovations in distributed ledger technologies with the aim of enhancing the DNA and developing comprehensive distributed ledger solutions to Enterprise-level challenges. Blockchain is the trust machine. The machine itself must be open and transparent. Based on this idea, Onchain DNA will be open source and will be provided to partners in every industry free of charge.”
The Ontology team recently posted on reddit that no one can extract NEO from the ONT smart contract(as they had not done an ICO), so for users not to send NEO into the ONT smart contract via the "participate in token sale" section that was mistakingly included in the Neon wallet. TheThis issue was announced on March 27th. . Within the next week there should be an update in order to remove such feature. This had been posted about on Twitter also it may have been addressed already. If not, it should be in the near future. If there are any further questions you are also advised to check with NEO’s support channel within its discord.
ONT is available on 6 different exchanges including Binance. Over the past couple weeks I've noticed that even with bitcoin being extremely bearish that ONT has remained in the green and one of the top 5 gainers on Binance over the past week or so. ONT was added to Cheddar mobile ap on March 30th.
ONT has a goal to be a United blockchain for all business types. The biggest vantage point is to establish trust between these businesses. Within its it's own network. On April 4th Ontology announced a Venture Capitol Cooperation set to co-build a Next Generation Chain Network.
