What is Ontology (ONT)?

Ontology emerged onto the blockchain scene in 2017, crafted by OnChain, a Chinese enterprise led by Erik Zhang and Da HongFei. Already known for their success with the NEO blockchain, OnChain created Ontology to help businesses smoothly incorporate blockchain technology into their operations without overhauling existing systems.

What is an Ontology wallet?

An Ontology wallet is a digital tool for safely storing private keys associated with your ONT account. The cryptocurrency itself remains on the blockchain, but the wallet provides a way to manage these keys, enabling you to send, receive, and control your ONT funds. Above all, an Ontology wallet facilitates your interaction with Ontology’s blockchain network.

How does an Ontology wallet work?

Ontology wallets utilize pairs of public and private keys to interact with the blockchain. The private key must be kept secure as it grants access to your ONT funds, while the public key can be shared for receiving cryptocurrency. To withdraw ONT, the respective private key is necessary. Tangem Wallet, for instance, stores and generates private keys within its secure chip.

What are the types of Ontology wallets?

  • Exchange Ontology Wallets:
    Platforms like Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken offer custodial wallets that allow ONT acquisition with local currency. Keep in mind, these involve risk as access to funds might be restricted by the exchange.

  • Software Ontology Wallets:
    These wallets, installed on various devices, cater to managing ONT and their private keys. Although user-friendly, they are susceptible to malicious software and hacking. Examples include mobile, desktop, and browser wallets.

  • Mobile Ontology Wallets:
    Apps facilitating ONT transactions right from your smartphone, offering convenience and accessibility on the go.

  • Desktop Ontology Wallets:
    Programs installed on computers, utilizing hard drives or SSDs for private key storage.

  • Hardware Ontology Wallets:
    Secure offline storage solutions like Tangem, which protect against digital threats.

How to Choose the Best Ontology Wallet

Selecting the right wallet depends on personal requirements, prioritizing ease of use, dependability, and robust security features. For safeguarding substantial amounts of ONT and to protect against online threats, a hardware wallet like Tangem comes highly recommended.
